Some gifts get opened. This one gets set down in the middle of the table and everyone comes over.

A metal bucket basket packed for a celebration: champagne and sparkling cider, two gold-rimmed flutes, smoked salmon, Rustic Bakery crackers and a charcuterie spread, sweet and savory snacks, fresh berries, dried florals, and a striped cotton towel folded at the front that gets kept long after the food is gone.

The bucket is not packaging. It is the part they still have next summer.

Built to order — including yours

Every basket is assembled by hand when you order it. That means this one can be changed. Swap the champagne for something non-alcoholic. Build it to a number. Add your logo to the bucket, your paper, your ribbon, your enclosure card. Order one, or order one for every name on your list — each one shipped individually, with tracking, to its own address.

Tell us your budget and your list. We will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.

Why this one arrives right

Eleven years of this. Nifty Package Co. has built gifts for Warner Bros., Ferragamo, Coach, Meta and Van Cleef & Arpels, and the White House selected us as their official gift wrapping supplier. Every basket is hand-built in Orange County and hand-wrapped, and a handwritten card goes in every one — actually handwritten, not printed under the label.

We are at our best at the moment the recipient opens it. That is the part most gifting companies leave to the shipper.

Contents shift with the season and with what is best that week. If something is substituted, it is built to the same standard by the same hands — and we will tell you.
