Residence - Round Mink Leather Tray New Home Gift Box

The Gift Story

A significant closing, an executive relocation, or a thank-you to a valued referral partner deserves a gift chosen with the relationship in mind.

Residence pairs an 18-inch round mink leather tray with alloy handles, a 22-inch cymbidium arrangement in a clear vase with faux water, and a 100% baby alpaca throw in Truffle or Porcelain. Three lasting pieces with useful places in a home.

The mink finish brings warmth beside wood and brass, while the round tray softens the lines of a rectangular table. It's Level 5 in our New Home series.

The Unboxing Experience

The cymbidium arrangement is what they see first, and it sets the tone: nearly two feet of orchids in a clear vase, with water so convincing most people give it a second look. The round tray comes next, deep mink leather with alloy handles and real weight in the hands. The throw is last, folded, and it's the piece they'll reach for that night.

Each object is generous on its own. Together they read as a room that's already been decided.

Why We Chose These Pieces

• A round tray brings a softer shape to a rectangular coffee table or console and gives a display a defined place.
• Mink leather adds a deep, warm neutral beside wood, brass, and leather furniture.
• Cymbidium orchids bring the presence of a complete floral arrangement. The faux flowers and permanent faux water require no watering or replacement of fresh stems.
• Baby alpaca adds softness and warmth without a heavy feel, with Truffle or Porcelain giving you two directions for the room.

Why This Gift Works

Residence gives each piece a lasting role: a tray for gathering everyday objects or creating a display, an orchid arrangement for an entry or living room, and an alpaca throw to keep within reach.

For a significant closing, executive relocation, or referral-partner thank-you, the appeal lies in the materials, scale, and usefulness of the three pieces. They can be enjoyed together or placed in different rooms, giving the recipient flexibility as they settle in.

Beautifully Presented

Every Residence Gift Box is assembled by hand in Reno, Nevada. The arrangement, tray, and throw are presented so each piece is seen on its own, and the box is finished so there's nothing left for you to wrap. Presentation details vary slightly with packaging and delivery method.

Personalization & Corporate Gifting

Select the throw color above, and add a handwritten gift message at checkout. For luxury brokerages, developers, and executive teams sending several, we coordinate throw color per recipient, recipient lists, branded inserts, and multi-address shipping. The floral arrangement is made to order, so volume orders need additional lead time. Reach out and we'll confirm timing.

Shipping & Delivery

Local delivery throughout Reno and Sparks, and nationwide shipping to the contiguous United States. Orders of $275 or more to a single address ship free. The floral arrangement and tray are packed separately within the shipment so everything arrives intact and presentation-ready.

Mel's Gifting Take

I built Residence for the moves and thank-yous that carry particular meaning. The cymbidium arrangement brings presence, the leather tray has an everyday purpose, and the alpaca throw adds something you notice as soon as you touch it.

I like the round mink tray beside wood and brass, where its warmer color and curved shape feel at home. The cream version offers a lighter alternative, so we can choose the direction that suits the recipient.

Before You Send

• Hand assembled to order in Reno, Nevada.
• One throw per box.
• The cymbidium arrangement is premium faux with permanent faux water. It needs no care, and the vase shouldn't be filled.
• Baby alpaca is a natural fiber; dry cleaning is recommended.
• Leather tray: wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid soaking.
• Contains no food items.
• Volume orders need additional lead time for the floral arrangement.
• Designed to arrive presentation-ready; no additional wrapping needed.

Ask the Team

1. What's the difference between the two Residence gift boxes?

   The tray, and nothing else. This version has an 18-inch round mink leather tray in a deep taupe-brown that warms a room and suits wood, leather, and traditional or transitional homes. The other has a rectangular cream leather tray, 22.5 by 15 inches, that lightens a room and suits white walls and modern interiors. Same arrangement, same throw, same price.

2. Where does an 18-inch round tray go?

   A coffee table, a large ottoman, the center of a dining table, or a kitchen island. Round trays are what designers reach for on a rectangular surface, because they break up the lines. It holds a stack of books, a candle, and a small vase with room to spare, and the handles make it a working tray when someone's carrying drinks out to the patio.

3. Is the floral arrangement real?

   The cymbidium arrangement is premium faux, set in a clear vase with permanent faux water. It offers a lasting floral display without watering or replacing fresh stems. The vase should not be filled with water.

4. Is $800 too much for a closing gift?

   Residence is an $800 option for a significant closing, executive relocation, or an important client or referral-partner thank-you. The right level depends on your budget and the relationship. Home and Host and The Well-Lived Home offer other combinations of lasting home pieces; our team can help you compare them.

5. Should I choose Truffle or Porcelain with the mink tray?

   Truffle keeps the gift tonal and rich, which suits the mink tray and a warm house. Porcelain adds a light note against the dark leather, and it's the pick when the room needs brightening or the recipient prefers a softer palette. Both work. Truffle is the natural pairing when you know the house leans warm.

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

Send $275 or more to a single address and it travels with our compliments: free standard shipping, or complimentary local delivery within our local delivery area. Complimentary shipping beginning at $275 applies to each individual address.

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.
