Large Custom Curated Gift Basket – 7 Gifting Tiers

The Gift Story

When you know the recipient and the occasion but do not want to choose every item yourself, this is where our team steps in. Select one of seven gifting tiers from $300 to $750, share preferences at checkout, and we will design a large custom basket around the moment.

Each basket is built in our signature brown woven vessel with faux-leather handles and a seasonal decorative accent. The assortment grows in breadth, scale, and specialty as the tier increases, while the final design remains personal to the recipient rather than copied from a fixed recipe.

Prefer a keepsake box? The same custom curation is available in our deep matte white magnetic keepsake box, in five tiers starting at $350 — see the Large Custom Curated Gift Box.

The Unboxing Experience

The approximately 22-inch basket arrives layered with seasonally selected artisan foods, confections, pantry pieces, and decorative accents chosen for the tier and recipient notes. Taller packages form the backdrop, smaller discoveries remain visible, and the reusable basket anchors the presentation.

The $750 Signature Tier

The $750 tier is the finest gift we make, and it exists for the moments that deserve more than a beautiful basket of food. The client who signed the largest contract of your year. The executive retiring after two decades. The friend whose milestone you want to mark properly.

It arrives as gifts within a gift. Rather than nesting items in filler, we box and wrap them individually — linen-covered keepsake boxes in varying sizes, finished with ribbon and braided leather cord in quiet neutrals. The textures are mixed on purpose, and the sizes are stepped so the presentation has real dimension. Nothing is loose. Nothing is generic. The recipient does not take in one basket at a glance; they open one thing, then another, then another.

Inside, the gift is built in two parts.

The first is the best of our gourmet selection: large-format confections chosen because they are beautiful before they are ever opened. Medjool dates in a gold-foiled box. Our largest gourmet chocolate truffle collections. Specialty preserves, aged provisions, and artisan pantry pieces we hold for our most generous gifts.

The second is what sets this tier apart. Every $750 gift includes a piece meant to be kept, chosen for the recipient from a small collection we reserve for this level. These are objects in alabaster, marble, travertine, and other natural materials — the kind of thing someone registers the weight of before they register what it is, and finds a place for the same afternoon. Occasionally the piece is not stone at all, but something soft and just as fine. We keep this selection small and change it as we find pieces worth including.

A gift can be enjoyed over a weekend, or it can live in someone's home for years, quietly reminding them who sent it. At $750, it does both.

Tell us about the recipient at checkout — their home, their table, how they entertain — and our team designs around it.

Why We Chose These Pieces

• Seven tiers let the giver match the scale of the gift to the relationship and occasion.
• Recipient notes help our team design around actual preferences rather than generic assumptions.
• Seasonal sourcing allows the basket to reflect what is currently available and worth sending.
• The large woven vessel gives every tier a useful foundation that remains after the contents are enjoyed.
• At the $750 tier, individual boxing and wrapping turns one gift into a series of moments rather than a single glance.
• Representative photography communicates the range of our visual approach without making every basket identical.

Why This Collection Works

You choose the investment level and share what matters; our team manages selection, balance, scale, and presentation so the recipient receives a custom gift rather than a preselected assortment.

Gifting Occasions

• VIP client and executive appreciation
• Office and team gifting meant to be shared among staff
• Holiday and year-end programs
• Housewarmings and real-estate closings
• Birthdays, milestones, and congratulations
• Thank-you, thinking-of-you, and sympathy gifting

Beautifully Presented

Every curation is layered inside our large brown woven basket with faux-leather handles, protective fill, seasonally selected ribbon, and a decorative accent. The photographs are representative of style and tier, not a promise of exact contents.

Personalization & Corporate Gifting

Use the gift-note field to share recipient interests, dietary needs, sweet or savory preferences, colors, and occasion details. For corporate lists, branded cards, multi-address shipping, or delivery schedules, contact our team before ordering.

Shipping & Delivery

Local Reno delivery and nationwide shipping are available. Rush shipping may be available for an additional $50 when confirmed in advance. Large baskets are protected inside an oversized shipping carton, and multi-address programs require advance coordination.

Mel's Gifting Take

I created this option for the giver who wants something personal but would rather not stand in front of twenty products trying to make them relate. Tell us who it is for, choose the tier, and let our team handle the edit.

Before You Send

• Select one of seven tiers: $300, $350, $400, $450, $500, $600, or $750.
• Share recipient preferences, dietary needs, occasion, and requested colors at checkout.
• Exact contents vary by tier, season, and availability.
• Substitutions are always equal or greater in value and preserve the overall scale and presentation.
• Custom baskets may contain nuts and other common allergens; confirm restrictions before sending.

Ask the Team

Question 1: How do I choose the right custom gift basket tier?

Answer: Choose based on the relationship, occasion, and desired scale. The $300 tier is a focused custom curation, while higher tiers add breadth, specialty pieces, and a fuller presentation. The $750 tier is our finest, arriving with items individually boxed and wrapped, and it always includes a piece meant to be kept.

Question 2: What makes the $750 tier different from the other tiers?

Answer: The presentation and the keepsake. At $750, items are individually boxed and wrapped in linen-covered keepsake boxes finished with ribbon and braided leather cord, so the recipient opens a series of gifts rather than taking in one basket at a glance. Every $750 gift also includes a piece meant to be kept, in alabaster, marble, travertine, or another natural material, chosen for the recipient.

Question 3: Will my custom basket contain the exact items shown in the photographs?

Answer: No. The photographs are representative of our style and gifting tiers. Your basket will be designed with currently available items of comparable quality, and substitutions are always equal or greater in value.

Question 4: Can I get this custom curation in a gift box instead of a basket?

Answer: Yes. The Large Custom Curated Gift Box offers the same custom curation presented in our deep matte white magnetic keepsake box, in five tiers from $350 to $600. Choose whichever presentation suits the recipient.

Question 5: Can you create and ship custom baskets to multiple corporate recipients?

Answer: Yes. Contact our team in advance to coordinate recipient lists, addresses, branded cards, preferences, timing, and nationwide multi-address shipping.

Product Insight

The Large Custom Curated Gift Basket is offered in seven tiers from $300 to $750 and is hand-designed in Reno around recipient preferences, occasion, season, and availability. At the $750 signature tier, items arrive individually boxed and wrapped in linen-covered keepsake boxes, and every gift includes a piece meant to be kept. The same custom curation is also available in a deep matte white keepsake gift box in five tiers from $350.

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.
