Sending Christmas Gifts in Chicago
Chicago is a city of neighborhoods and high-rises, and most Christmas baskets here go to Loop and River North offices, doorman condos along the lake, or two-flats and bungalows out in the neighborhoods. For buildings, include the unit number and a phone number for the front desk, and for offices add the floor and suite. Northwestern Memorial, Rush, UChicago Medicine and Lurie Children's have staff working every day of the holidays. Winter cold is no joke here, so fresh fruit shouldn't sit outside. Evanston and Oak Park are right next door.

Sending to a Hospital, Campus or Office in Chicago
Common places people send Christmas baskets in Chicago, with a tip for each so your basket reaches the right person:
- Northwestern Memorial Hospital – Include the patient's full name and room number, or send staff gifts to a specific unit.
- Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital – Check the hospital's gift policy before sending food to a patient room.

- Lakefront high-rise condos – Include the building, unit number and a phone for the doorman.
How Christmas Delivery Works in Chicago
- Christmas 2026 falls on Friday, December 25. Plan on shipped baskets by mid-December and florist delivery for anything ordered December 21–24.
- Same-day florist delivery is widely available across Chicago, so it’s the best choice for last-minute gifts, fresh fruit and anything going to a hospital.
- Shipped gourmet baskets, towers and tins are better for big corporate orders and for families in the outer suburbs, where you want a guaranteed date.
- Downtown offices and hospital campuses have busy front desks, so always include a suite, unit or department and a phone number.
- Winter in Chicago is cold, so fresh fruit shouldn't sit outside. Pick a delivery time when someone's home, and leave an extra day when snow is in the forecast.

Chicago Christmas Gift Basket FAQs
Can I get a Christmas gift basket delivered the same day in Chicago, IL?
Usually, yes. Chicago is one of the best-covered areas in Illinois for same-day florist delivery. Order florist-delivered fruit and gourmet baskets before the local cutoff, often around 11 AM in the recipient’s time zone and earlier on weekends and peak holidays, and most Chicago ZIP codes can get same-day delivery. Shipped gourmet baskets usually arrive next day or later.
Which Chicago ZIP codes do you deliver Christmas baskets to?
We deliver Christmas gift baskets to every Chicago ZIP code, including 60601, 60602, 60603, 60604, 60605, 60606, 60607, 60608, 60609, 60610, 60611, 60612, 60613, 60614, 60615, 60616, 60617, 60618, 60619, 60620, 60621, 60622, 60623, 60624, 60625, 60626, 60628, 60629, 60630, 60631, 60632, 60633, 60634, 60636, 60637, 60638, 60639, 60640, 60641, 60642, 60643, 60644, 60645, 60646, 60647, 60649, 60651, 60652, 60653, 60654, 60655, 60656, 60657, 60659, 60660, 60661, and to the rest of Cook County.
When should I order a Christmas basket to arrive in Chicago by December 25, 2026?
Christmas 2026 is Friday, December 25. For Chicago, order shipped baskets by mid-December, book office and client gifts in early December, and use next-day or same-day florist delivery for last-minute gifts from December 21 to 24.
Can I send a Christmas basket to someone at Northwestern Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Enter the patient’s full name, room number and unit at checkout, plus a phone number for the hospital. Some units, such as intensive care, don’t allow food or fresh fruit, so for those patients send the basket to their home or address it to the staff at the nurses’ station.
Can I send a Christmas basket to a student at the University of Chicago?
You can, but timing matters. Most students leave campus after fall finals in mid-December, so a basket delivered to a dorm over the break may sit unclaimed. Send it to arrive before finals end, or ship it to the address where they’ll spend the holidays.
How much does a Christmas gift basket for Chicago cost?
Our Christmas baskets run from $39.99 to $349.99, plus a delivery fee shown at checkout for your Chicago address. Most people spend $40 to $100 on family and friends, and $150 or more on clients.
