The day itself
One day that's all about them
Birthdays are personal. Pick the direction that matches what they actually like, choose what you'd like to spend, and say it in your own words on the card.
Writing the message
Say their name, wish them a good year, and add one honest line about them. Ask the card assistant for a start; it keeps clear of the stock greeting-card lines.
Suits whom
It works for a partner as well as a colleague; choose sweet, savory, coffee, tea or a sharing gift to suit them.
Delivering to an office
Put the company and the department in the delivery step — office deliveries go to reception in business hours.
What we reach for
What can go in it
Philadelphia Baskets draws from these groups, guided by the recipient, the direction, the budget and the add-ons.
If something is unavailable
Philadelphia Baskets builds each basket singly and stock changes; a replacement item is chosen to keep the direction, the intent and the value.

Philadelphia Baskets delivery facts · About us · Delivery areas
An existing Philadelphia Baskets birthday gift, shown as an example. Your own selections shape the finished basket.
From order to doorstep
Put together for this birthday alone
Preparation starts once the order is placed. What goes in and how it looks follows your recipient, direction, budget, dietary notes and chosen extras.
Picked for your answers
Items are picked to match what you chose, then arranged and finished.
A last look
We check every basket before packing it and sending it on its way.
Substitutions
Some gourmet and floral items are seasonal, so a substitution is sometimes needed. The design, the scale and the value are held.
What may vary
Exact items move with the season and with stock. The recipient, the direction, the budget and the extras you chose still decide the basket.
Bulk and business
Need several birthday gifts at once?
Build it a single time, then list the recipients. Branded cards where you want them, one payment at the end.
