Substitutions and Custom Orders

BasketWorks/79Gifts builds each gift basket to order - none of our packages are premade. This allows us to offer our clients a high level of service without compromising quality and value. Please inform us of any special requests you may have in our "special directions" section. Note that because of this policy and to assure freshness and timely delivery, we reserve the right to substitute with product of equal or greater value.

Order fulfillment

BasketWorks/79Gifts practices FIFO method of fulfillment - First In, First Out. Most orders received by noon CST can be delivered or shipped by the next business day. Allow for more time between November 15th and January 1st. We do appreciate as much advance notice as possible.

Safety and Intended Use

We want your gift recipients to be thrilled with their gifts! To help ensure their delight, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Many of our gifts contain enhancements, mechanics, small miscellaneous products and non-edible components. These items are for presentation purposes and decorative use only.

When gift wraps (shrink and cellophane) are removed, they should be immediately and safely discarded to avoid any potential accidents involving children or pets. Only the parent, guardian or custodian can decide whether components and enhancements are suitable or appropriate for the age and maturity of their child.
