Is the recipient inside the delivery area?
Vermont Baskets brings its gift baskets to addresses throughout Vermont, and only within the state. Enter the recipient's ZIP code to see whether it qualifies and which Christmas date to watch for when you check out.
The result covers the area only. The estimated delivery date and the delivery charge appear at checkout once the full address is in.
When to order for Christmas
Christmas Day lands on a Friday in 2026, so Thursday, December 24 is the final delivery date before it. Vermont Baskets works on next-day delivery and same-day delivery is not offered, which makes Wednesday, December 23 the last chance to order for that Thursday, provided checkout still lists it.
| Gift | Order by |
|---|---|
| Delivered Thursday, December 24 The last delivery date ahead of Christmas Day. With next-day delivery the order goes in the day before, and only while checkout still offers December 24 for that address | Wednesday, December 23 at the latest |
| Delivered earlier in December Pick any earlier estimated date that checkout offers. The holidays can call for extra preparation and coordination time, so it pays not to leave it late | Whenever you are ready; sooner is safer |
| Five baskets or more Buying five or more takes 10% off. Some Vermont addresses need an extra delivery review, so a long list of recipients is best placed early | As early in the season as you can |
Christmas baskets chosen in more than one season
Each of these eleven baskets was bought as a Christmas gift in at least two of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons, and each can be ordered today. One basket finished clearly ahead of the field and wears a #1 badge: the Wine Gift Basket Featuring Chocolate Truffles and Wooden Tool Box. The others carry no rank. They sit in three price groups, and the figure beside each group is its share of Christmas orders. The $100 to $149 group holds three, as only that many qualified. Prices shown are today's.
Under $100 · 30% of Christmas orders, 2023–2025
$100 to $149 · 41% of Christmas orders, 2023–2025
$150 and up · 29% of Christmas orders, 2023–2025
Christmas at Vermont Baskets by the numbers
Drawn from orders placed between November 1 and December 24 in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and set against all orders 2023–2025 where that adds something.
How to choose
What three Christmas seasons of Vermont Baskets orders, 2023 to 2025, suggest.
Wine first, bubbly next
Wine went into 38% of Christmas orders, more than its 31% share of all orders 2023–2025, and champagne or sparkling wine into 15%. The Wine Gift Basket Featuring Chocolate Truffles and Wooden Tool Box is this guide's #1, and the wine and champagne Christmas collections offer plenty more.
Beer and liquor
Beer showed up in 7% of Christmas orders and liquor or whisky in 4%, 2023 to 2025. The Six-Bottle Beer Gift Set with Charcuterie and Bamboo Cutting Board is the beer pick in this guide, and the beer and liquor Christmas baskets cover the rest.
Nobody 21 or older at the address?
If no one 21 or older with photo ID will be there, or the recipient does not drink, go for a basket without alcohol: the Fruit Gift Basket in Small Wide Boat Shaped Basket ($40.99), the Holiday Gourmet Chocolate Truffle Gift Box in Decorative Basket ($102.99) or the Christmas Holiday Gourmet Chocolate and Coffee Gift Basket ($162.99). There are more among the no-alcohol Christmas baskets, and the spa and bath ones suit someone who would rather relax.
Late shoppers pick festive baskets
Of orders placed in the final week before Christmas, 41% were for a Christmas-themed basket; of those placed more than four weeks earlier, 14% were (2023 to 2025). The Christmas gift baskets gather every one of them.
Smaller budgets
70% of Christmas orders from 2023 to 2025 reached $100 or more, yet four of the picks here cost less than $100, beginning at $39.99. The Christmas deals of the week change as December goes on.
One basket at a time
96% of Christmas orders from 2023 to 2025 held a single basket, and 4% held two or more. Thanking a whole team? The business section below explains how.
Christmas gifts for clients and staff
Businesses placed 24% of Vermont Baskets' Christmas orders from 2023 to 2025, against 20% of all orders 2023–2025, and a third of those business orders went in more than two weeks before December 25. Buying five or more baskets saves 10%.

Christmas questions
What is the last day to order for Christmas delivery?
Same-day delivery is not offered, so for Thursday, December 24 the order has to go in by Wednesday, December 23, and only if checkout still offers December 24 for the address. Checkout dates are estimates and the holidays can need more time, so ordering earlier is wiser.
Do wine, champagne, beer and liquor baskets need ID?
Yes. They are handed over only to a recipient 21 or older with photo ID, and an adult signature may be required, so send them where that person will be. If the check cannot be completed, a refund, replacement or re-delivery may not be available. Baskets without alcohol, such as the Holiday Gourmet Chocolate Truffle Gift Box in Decorative Basket, avoid the age check.
Can someone in another state or country place the order?
Yes. Buyers elsewhere in the United States or abroad can order, as long as the basket goes to an address in Vermont.
Can a greeting message go with the basket?
Yes. A personalized greeting message can be added to the gift basket.
What if an item is unavailable?
A substitute is chosen to keep the basket's overall intent, value and presentation. Because of timing and volume, you may not be contacted first.
Can I change an order after placing it?
Contact customer service quickly. Once an order is in progress changes may be limited, and the holiday weeks need extra preparation time.
How do I track a Christmas order?
Open the order tracking page and enter the email address and the ZIP or postal code used for the order. Tracking details appear once the order has been processed and prepared for delivery.
