12.25-Inch Gold Braided Glass Serving Tray

The Gift Story

A good host gift should be useful before the thank-you note is written. This 12.25-inch braided glass tray brings texture and warm gold color to sweets, bar snacks, jewelry, keys, or small keepsakes without taking over the surface beneath it.

Send it to a host, new homeowner, client, or friend who notices the details. It also makes a smart foundation for a custom gift basket because the tray remains useful long after the treats and ribbon are gone.

The Unboxing Experience

The woven-looking glass catches the light as the tray is unwrapped, revealing more dimension than a flat metallic finish. Its long, narrow shape feels tailored and immediately suggests all the places it can be used.

The Gift

Why We Chose These Pieces

• The narrow profile fits easily on bars, vanities, desks, and entry tables.
• Braided texture gives the gold glass dimension from every angle.
• It can hold food, small objects, or decorative accents.
• The tray is useful as both a standalone gift and a keepsake gift base.

The tray balances beauty with a clear purpose. It feels special enough to give, practical enough to use often, and versatile enough to move from cocktail hour to a bedside table.

• Client and colleague appreciation
• Birthdays and thank-yous

Beautifully Presented

Each tray is inspected and wrapped to protect its textured glass surface. For custom gifting, it can be layered with compatible items and finished with ribbon selected for the occasion.

Personalization & Corporate Gifting

Add a personal message for one recipient or contact our team about using the tray in client, closing, or hospitality gifts. Multi-recipient quantities and custom contents must be confirmed before ordering.

Shipping & Delivery

The glass tray is cushioned for transit. Available shipping and delivery options are calculated at checkout according to the recipient’s address.

Mel's Gifting Take

I reach for gifts like this because the recipient does not have to find one specific use for them. It can hold truffles at a party one week and jewelry on a dresser the next, which is exactly why it earns its place.

Before You Send

• Hand wash only.
• Not microwave or dishwasher safe.
• Subtle variations may occur through the glassmaking process.
• Food and styled accessories are not included.
• Confirm availability before placing a volume order.

Question 1: Is the gold braided glass tray appropriate as a standalone host gift?

Answer: Yes. Its textured glass, useful shape, and warm gold finish give it enough presence to send on its own.

Question 2: Can this tray be used inside a custom gift basket?

Answer: Yes, when the selected contents are compatible with its 12.25-inch by 3.5-inch shape and current inventory is available.

Question 3: What can the recipient use the tray for after opening the gift?

Answer: It works for wrapped sweets, bar snacks, jewelry, keys, desk accessories, or small decorative objects.

Product Insight

Local Delivery

We currently offer local delivery within the Reno, Nevada area, approximately 20 miles from our location, for a $15 delivery fee per address.

Local delivery is a wonderful option for gift baskets, gift boxes, and select local orders that need to arrive with a little extra care. Please make sure the delivery address is accurate and complete before placing your order.

Standard Shipping

We ship to the contiguous United States for a flat $9.99 standard shipping fee.

This applies to eligible decor items, individual curated gift items, gift boxes, gift baskets, and select floral arrangements.

Free Shipping + Complimentary Local Delivery

Orders over $275 qualify for free standard shipping or complimentary local delivery when eligible.

Premade Floral Arrangement Shipping

Our custom premade floral arrangements ship directly from our trusted partner vendor. This helps us offer a wider selection of ready-to-gift floral pieces while making sure each arrangement is packed appropriately for transit.

Because these arrangements ship separately from partner inventory, they may arrive in a separate shipment from other items in your order. Processing and transit times may vary slightly depending on the arrangement, availability, and destination.

Rush Shipping

Need your gift to arrive sooner? We offer a rush shipping option for an additional $50 when available. This covers moving your order to the front of the production line, not the carrier's fee.

For express delivery of two days or less, shipping is billed at actual carrier cost, calculated by our team for your specific order and destination. Weight, size, and how far it's going all move that number, so please reach out before you place the order and we'll give you a real figure rather than a guess.

Rush availability may depend on the item, order size, destination, and current production or packing schedule. For custom gifts, large orders, or specialty items, we recommend reaching out first so we can confirm the best timeline.

Processing Times

If a ship date is not selected or requested at checkout, orders typically ship within 3–4 business days from the date of purchase.

In November and December, plan on 5–7 business days. Everything is still made by hand, and there are simply more hands' worth of it during the holidays. Order early and you'll never notice the difference.

Large custom orders, specialty gifts, corporate orders, and more detailed gift baskets and boxes may require additional processing time depending on the size, complexity, product availability, and final presentation.

Corporate orders scale with their size. Fifteen baskets is a different week than fifty. We'll give you a firm timeline when we confirm your order, and we'd rather quote you honestly than quote you fast.

Tracking Information

Once your order ships, tracking information will be provided so you can follow the delivery and know when to keep an eye out.

If your order includes multiple items or a premade floral arrangement shipping from our partner vendor, you may receive more than one tracking number.

Weather & Carrier Delays

Once your order leaves our hands, it's in the carrier's — and the carrier answers to the weather. Snow over the Sierra, ice storms, fog, and the general chaos of late December can all slow a package down, and none of it is something we can hurry along.

We'll always help you track it, and we'll always answer the email. We can build you a beautiful basket or gift box, but we cannot negotiate with the jet stream.

Delivery Responsibility

Once an order is marked as delivered by the carrier, responsibility for the package is released. We are not responsible for stolen packages, packages left unattended, weather exposure after delivery, or orders delivered to an incorrect address provided at checkout.

Please double-check all shipping details before completing your purchase, especially when sending gifts. We are very good at creating thoughtful baskets and boxes, but sadly, we cannot reroute a package once it is already on its way.

Incorrect or Incomplete Addresses

If an address is entered incorrectly — it happens more often than you'd think, usually the sender's own address — or is missing important details such as an apartment, suite, gate code, business name, or recipient information, the order may be delayed, returned, or delivered incorrectly.

Additional shipping fees may apply if an order needs to be reshipped due to an incorrect or incomplete address provided at checkout.

A Note About Gift Timing

If you are sending a gift for a specific date, we recommend ordering as early as possible. We will always do our best to meet requested timing, but carrier delays, weather, holidays, and address issues can affect delivery once a package leaves our hands.

For time-sensitive gifts, local delivery or rush shipping may be the best option when available.

Every basket is built by hand, one at a time, for one person. No algorithm, no assembly line, no warehouse in Ohio. Because of that, all sales are final — no refunds, returns, or exchanges on gift baskets, gift boxes, or shop items.

If something inside isn't quite your taste, pass it along. A good gift rarely stays put anyway.

If something arrives damaged

We'll replace it.

Email contact@biggestlittlebaskets.com within three days of delivery, subject line Damaged Item. Include one photo of the item and one of the shipping box — our carrier requires both to file a claim, and they're immune to our charm without them.

Three days, two photos. That's all we ask.

Corporate & custom orders

Custom work starts the moment you say yes. We source the pieces, hold the inventory, and begin curating — often weeks before anything ships.

As such, corporate and custom orders require a non-refundable 30% deposit to reserve your place on the calendar. It goes straight into your order, not into a void. If plans change, we'll do what we can to move dates, but the deposit stays with the work it's already funded.

Quantity changes are welcome up to 14 days before delivery. And if someone gets added to the list after that, tell us anyway — we'll do everything we can to make room. Somebody always gets added to the list.

The balance is due before shipping or delivery.
