Is the recipient inside the delivery area?
Boston Baskets brings gift baskets to homes and offices in Massachusetts. Type the ZIP code you will send to and the answer appears below, together with what to look for when you choose a Christmas date.
This check covers the area only. The delivery date is set on the product page, which lists just the dates still open for that address.
Choosing a Christmas delivery date
Christmas Day falls on a Friday this year, which makes Thursday, December 24 the final date that lands before it. Boston Baskets does not publish one last order day for every gift. Each basket is booked for a date you pick, and the product page shows which dates remain for the address you enter.
| Gift | Date |
|---|---|
| A single basket, or a handful Choose the delivery date on the product page before adding the basket to the cart; only dates open to the address are listed | Thursday, December 24 at the latest, if the date is listed |
| Five baskets or more for a business Pay for the order and submit it to the team, as the corporate page asks of Christmas bulk orders | Saturday, December 12 |
Christmas baskets people came back to, by price
Each of these twelve baskets was bought for Christmas in at least two of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons. None pulled clearly ahead of the others, so there is no ranking here; they are grouped by price, and each heading gives the share of Christmas orders whose total fell in that range. Prices are today's.
Under $100 · 24% of Christmas orders, 2023–2025
$100 to $149 · 48% of Christmas orders, 2023–2025
$150 and up · 27% of Christmas orders, 2023–2025
Three Christmas seasons in figures
Boston Baskets orders placed from November 1 to December 24 in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Where a comparison helps, it is with all orders 2023–2025.
Picking the right basket
Six things the Christmas orders point to.
Wine is the Christmas favorite
38% of Christmas orders included wine, more than the 33% seen across all orders 2023–2025. The Wine Gift Box with Salami, Cheese & Chocolate Treats is one of several wine baskets under $100; the Christmas baskets with wine hold the rest.
Champagne for a toast
Champagne and sparkling wine went into 12% of Christmas orders, a little under the 15% across all orders 2023–2025. The Holiday Champagne Gift Set with Snowflake Treats on Wood Board is the festive option, and there are more Christmas baskets with champagne.
No alcohol, no ID
When nobody 21 or older will be home to show photo ID, or the recipient doesn't drink, the Small Wicker Basket with Holiday Chocolates Gift Basket ($54.99) and the Deluxe Holiday Snack Gift Basket with Chocolates and Treats ($115.99) are alcohol-free; see all the Christmas baskets without alcohol.
Festive themes sell late
49% of final-week orders were for a Christmas-themed basket, compared with 7% of orders placed more than four weeks ahead. The Holiday Season Sweet and Savory Gourmet Gift Basket and the Holiday Gift Basket with Artisan Pasta, Cheese, and Chocolates are two of the season's themed baskets.
$100 is the line to watch
76% of Christmas orders came to $100 or more, which is also where delivery to Massachusetts becomes free. Below it, the delivery charge is added at checkout.
Usually one basket at a time
96% of Christmas orders held a single basket and 4% held two or more. For a list of clients or staff, the business section below explains the discount and the form.
Business gifts for Christmas
Companies placed 24% of Christmas orders, compared with 22% across all orders 2023–2025, and 47% of their Christmas orders were in more than two weeks before December 25. Ordering five or more baskets takes 10% off the order, and the store recommends paying for and submitting Christmas bulk orders by December 12 so they can be processed and delivered on time.

Christmas questions, answered
What is the last day to order for Christmas?
There is no single date for every gift. The product page lists the delivery dates still open to the address; for a Christmas arrival pick Thursday, December 24 or earlier, if it is listed. Business orders of five baskets or more should be paid for and submitted by December 12.
Can a basket arrive today?
No. Same-day delivery is not offered: every basket is prepared for a date chosen in advance.
Is ID needed for wine, champagne or beer?
Yes. The basket goes only to someone of legal drinking age, 21 or older, who shows photo ID, so choose an address where an adult will be in. Baskets without alcohol, like the Deluxe Bruges Chocolate Assortment Gift Basket with Ceramic Mug, need no ID.
What does delivery cost?
It is free to Massachusetts on orders $100 and over. Under that, the charge is shown at checkout before you pay.
Can I send baskets to several people at once?
Yes. The corporate order form takes as many recipients as you need, and five or more baskets earn 10% off.
How do I track a Christmas order?
Once the order has been processed, follow it on the order tracking page. For anything else, call 1 (888) 912-2388.
