Set of Two Wood Topographic Lake Tahoe Coasters

The Gift Story

The Lake Tahoe Topographic Wood Coasters place the lake's shoreline, surrounding terrain, and bathymetric detail into a useful piece of everyday barware. The map is precision-etched into natural birch ply, while a cork backing helps protect tables and bar surfaces.

Made in the USA and sold as a set of two, they are an easy gift for Tahoe homeowners, hosts, clients, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who knows the lake by heart. The design feels personal without asking the recipient to find room for another souvenir.

The Unboxing Experience

The recipient first sees the warm birch surface, then discovers the fine contour lines surrounding Lake Tahoe. Lifting each coaster reveals the cork backing that gives the set its practical finish.

Included in This Collection

Tahoe Barware

• Two round Lake Tahoe topographic wood coasters
• Laser-cut natural birch ply
• Precision-etched topographic and bathymetric lake map
• Cork backing for surface protection
• Made in the USA

Why We Chose These Pieces

• The etched contour lines turn a recognizable landscape into functional barware.
• Natural birch gives the map warmth and makes the fine detail easy to see.
• Cork backing helps the coasters stay gentle on tables and bar surfaces.
• The four-inch size works beneath tumblers, pint glasses, mugs, and stemware.
• The set of two is easy to give alone or incorporate into a larger Tahoe collection.

Why This Collection Works

The coasters are specific to Lake Tahoe yet useful well beyond a single occasion. They sit naturally beneath either the Lake Tahoe 8 oz Topographic Glass Tumbler or the Topographic Lake Tahoe Pint Glass. Each glass interprets the landscape in dimensional relief, while the coasters repeat it in wood—a quiet connection that keeps the bar from feeling overly matched.

Gifting Occasions

• Tahoe housewarmings and real-estate closings
• Host and hostess gifts
• Client and employee appreciation
• Birthdays and holiday gifting
• Travel memories and regional keepsakes

Beautifully Presented

The two coasters are kept together, wrapped for gifting, and prepared as a standalone present or as part of a custom Tahoe, barware, hospitality, or housewarming collection.

Personalization & Corporate Gifting

Add a personal message at checkout or contact our team about real-estate closings, Tahoe events, hospitality gifts, client programs, and larger quantities. Timing should be confirmed in advance.

Shipping & Delivery

Local Reno delivery and nationwide shipping are available. Rush shipping may be available for an additional $50 when confirmed in advance. The coaster set is packed to protect the etched wood surfaces during transit.

Mel's Gifting Take

I like these for the person who loves Tahoe but does not need another decorative sign telling everyone so. The map is detailed, the wood is warm, and the coasters earn their place by being genuinely useful.

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.
