NYC Gift Shop: Flower Gift Baskets and Gift Bouquets Delivered the Same Day

Some gifts are bought in a rush on the way to dinner. The good ones are chosen with the person in mind and arrive at their door while they are still thinking about what a nice surprise it would be. That is the gap this gift shop fills for New Yorkers: flower gifts that look thoughtful, are ready to send today, and are carried by hand to any address in the city.

Every flower gift basket and gift bouquet on this page is put together in our flower shop nyc on the morning it goes out, with fresh flowers, a handwritten card and, if you like, chocolates, fruit or a small keepsake tucked in beside the blooms. We deliver across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, usually within hours of your order.

Flower Gift Baskets You Can Send Today

Six flower baskets, each designed as a finished gift: flowers already arranged in a keepsake basket or dish, so nothing needs a vase and nothing needs assembling on the other end.

• Charming Garden ($190): a full, mixed-flower basket in warm garden colors, the kind of gift that fills a dining table. The most sent basket for birthdays, housewarmings and thank-yous.
• Classic Dish ($160): seasonal blooms arranged low in a classic dish. Sits neatly on a desk, a hospital tray table or an entry console, and travels well to offices.
• Lavender Fields ($180): purples, lilacs and soft whites gathered in a basket. A calm, feminine gift for a mother, a grandmother, a teacher or a friend who loves color.
• Ocean Breeze ($190): blues and whites with airy greenery, fresh and cool. A favorite for get-well gifts, new apartments and summer birthdays.
• Peaceful Reflections ($170): gentle whites and creams in a natural basket. Chosen for sympathy, for a quiet thank-you, and for anyone who prefers understated flowers.
• Serene Luxury ($170): premium blooms in a refined, polished basket. The choice for a client, a boss, or an occasion where the gift should look as expensive as it is.

Any basket can be paired with a box of chocolates, a fresh fruit selection, a gourmet snack box or a plush toy. Add them at checkout, or tell us the occasion and we will suggest the right combination.

Flower Gift, Gift Bouquet or Gift Basket: Which One to Send

People search for flower gifts three different ways, and each one is a slightly different thing. Here is how to choose in ten seconds.

• Flower basket gift: flowers arranged in a basket with their own water source. No vase needed, easy to carry, and the basket stays with the recipient. Best for homes, hospital rooms and anyone who may not own a vase.
• Gift bouquet: a hand-tied bouquet wrapped in our signature paper, made to be held and unwrapped. Best for a personal moment, a doorstep surprise or a bouquet handed over in person. Our NYC best sellersare the bouquets New Yorkers send most.
• Vase arrangement: flowers arranged in a glass or ceramic vase, ready to display. Best for offices, reception desks and anyone who wants zero effort.
• Flowers plus a gift: a basket or bouquet with chocolates, fruit, a snack box or a plush toy alongside. Best when flowers alone feel too small for the occasion.
• Living gift: a potted plant that lasts for years. See our NYC plantsfor peace lilies, money trees and jasmine delivered the same day.

Flower Gifts for Every Occasion in New York City

Most of the gifts leaving our shop fall into a handful of moments. Here is what New Yorkers send for each one, so you can order without second-guessing.

• Birthday: Charming Garden or Ocean Breeze with a box of chocolates. Our birthday flowers NYCcollection covers the bouquet route.
• Anniversary: Serene Luxury for a husband or wife, or a basket of her favorite color with a handwritten note. See anniversary flowers NYCfor classic rose arrangements.

• Housewarming: a basket that fills the first empty table, or a plant for the first empty corner.
• Mother’s Day and Father’s Day: Lavender Fields for mom, Ocean Breeze or a fruit basket for dad, ordered a few days early because these are the two busiest days of our year.

• For your wife: Serene Luxury, or a bouquet of her favorite flower with chocolates, delivered to her office where her colleagues will see it.

• For a friend: the basket that matches their kitchen, their favorite color or their mood this week.
• For new parents: flowers for her, fruit for both of them, and a plush toy for the baby.
• For someone in the hospital: a compact basket or dish arrangement that fits a tray table, delivered to the unit desk with the patient’s name.

What Goes in a Gift Basket from Our Shop

Our gift baskets are built around fresh flowers, and everything added to them is chosen so the basket suits every household in New York. We do not include alcohol in any gift, so you never have to ask whether the recipient’s family will be comfortable with it.

• Chocolates and sweets: boxed chocolates, truffles, cookies and baklava from New York bakers.
• Fresh fruit: seasonal fruit arranged with the flowers or in a separate basket for get-well and housewarming gifts.
• Gourmet snacks: nuts, dried fruit, crackers and preserves for office gifts and clients.
• Plush toys: small teddy bears and animals for new-baby and children’s gifts.
• Keepsakes: a ceramic vase, a scented candle or a small frame that stays after the flowers are gone.
• Greeting cards: a handwritten card with every order, or a premium printed card for corporate gifts.

Want a custom basket, a specific chocolate, kosher or halal-certified treats, or a gift built to a budget? Call us with the occasion and the number, and we put it together the same day.

Corporate Gifts and Client Gifts in NYC

Companies across Manhattan and Brooklyn use us as their gift shop for the moments that matter to a business: a client’s signed contract, an employee’s work anniversary, a new hire’s first day, a colleague’s surgery, a holiday thank-you list. We deliver single baskets to offices and homes, or full lists of gifts on a schedule, each with its own card and message. Send us a spreadsheet of names and addresses and we handle the rest, with one invoice.

For office deliveries, we work with mailrooms and reception desks in Midtown, the Financial District, Hudson Yards, Chelsea, Flatiron, DUMBO and Long Island City every day, and we know which buildings need the recipient’s phone number and which prefer a desk drop.

Same-Day Gift Delivery Across New York City

Gifts ordered in the morning are delivered the same day across Manhattan, from Battery Park and Tribeca through SoHo, the Village, Chelsea, Midtown, the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, Harlem and Inwood, and across Brooklyn including Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Bay Ridge and Fort Greene. Astoria, Long Island City, Forest Hills, Flushing, Jackson Heights, Riverdale, Fordham and Staten Island deliveries go the same day when ordered early, otherwise the next morning.

Every gift is hand-delivered by our own drivers, to homes, doorman buildings, offices, hospitals, schools and hotels. We call ahead when a building requires it, and we never leave a flower gift on a stoop in freezing or hot weather. If you want the delivery timed for a lunch break, a birthday dinner or a first morning at a new job, write the window in the order notes.

Why New Yorkers Choose a Local Gift Shop Over a National Gift Site

The national gift websites sell a photo. The basket that shows up is packed by a third-party warehouse two states away, shipped in a box, and arrives looking like a distant cousin of what you ordered. A local NYC gift shop works the other way around: the basket you see is the basket we make, the flowers are cut that morning, and the person who delivers it works for us.

• What you see is what arrives: each basket is made from the flowers and items on the page, and we call you before making any substitution.
• Delivered by hand, not shipped: no boxes, no crushed blooms, no two-day transit.
• One shop, every occasion: flowers, plants, chocolates, fruit and cards from a single order, delivered together.
• Cards written by people: your message in our handwriting, spelled the way you wrote it.
• A person on the phone: call with an occasion and a budget and we will tell you what to send.

What Flower Gifts Cost in NYC

Flower gift baskets on this page are $160 to $190, and the price includes the basket, the flowers, the card and hand delivery. Add-ons such as chocolates, fruit and plush toys are priced individually at checkout. Custom baskets and corporate gift lists are quoted on request, and larger orders are priced per basket at a lower rate.

Gift Shop NYC: Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer same-day gift delivery in NYC?

Yes. Flower gift baskets and bouquets ordered in the morning are delivered the same day across Manhattan and Brooklyn, and to Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island when ordered early. All gifts are hand-delivered by our own drivers.

What is the difference between a flower gift basket and a bouquet?

A flower gift basket is already arranged in a basket with its own water, so it needs no vase and the basket stays with the recipient. A bouquet is hand-tied and wrapped, made to be held and placed in a vase at home. Baskets are better for hospitals, offices and homes without a vase; bouquets are better for a personal, in-hand moment.

Can I add chocolates, fruit or a gift to my flower order?

Yes. Chocolates, fresh fruit, gourmet snack boxes, plush toys, candles and keepsake vases can be added to any basket or bouquet at checkout, and they are delivered together in one visit.

Do your gift baskets contain alcohol?

No. None of our gifts include alcohol, so every basket is appropriate for every home, office, school and hospital in the city.

Can you deliver a gift to a hospital or an office in Manhattan?

Yes. We deliver to hospitals across the boroughs, with the patient’s name and unit, and to offices through the mailroom or reception desk. Give us a phone number for the recipient and any building instructions.

Do you make custom gift baskets?

Yes. Tell us the occasion, the recipient and your budget and we build a basket to match, including specific chocolates, fruit, halal or kosher-certified treats and keepsakes.

Can I order corporate gifts in bulk?

Yes. We deliver corporate gift lists of any size to offices and homes across New York City, each with its own card, on one day or on a schedule, with a single invoice.

What is a good flower gift for someone who does not own a vase?

A flower gift basket or a dish arrangement. Both arrive with their own water source and need nothing on the other end. A potted plant is the other good option.

Can I schedule a gift for a specific date or time?

Yes. Choose the date at checkout and write the delivery window in the notes. We hold the order and make the gift fresh on the day.

What should I write on the gift card?

Short and personal works best: who it is from, why you are sending it, and one line in your own voice. If you are stuck, tell us the occasion and we will suggest wording.

From a basket on a Brooklyn doorstep to a client gift in a Midtown lobby, our flower shop nyc team makes and delivers flower gifts across the city every day of the week.
