Sending Christmas Gifts in Lakeland
Lakeland sits halfway between Tampa and Orlando, a city of lakes, swans and brick streets downtown. It's home to Publix's headquarters and a lot of warehouses and distribution centers along I-4, so team gifts are popular before the holidays. Lakeland Regional Health has staff working right through Christmas. Florida Southern College, with its Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, breaks for winter in December. Many retirees live in the area's 55-plus communities. Winter Haven and Plant City are close by.

How Christmas Delivery Works in Lakeland
- Christmas 2026 falls on Friday, December 25. Plan on shipped baskets by mid-December and florist delivery for anything ordered December 21–24.
- Inside Lakeland, same-day florist delivery is usually available when you order early in the day.
- For addresses farther out in Polk County, a shipped gourmet basket ordered a few days ahead is the more reliable choice.
- Smaller businesses often close for the week of Christmas, so send workplace gifts by about December 18.
- December in Lakeland can still be warm, so chocolate and fresh fruit shouldn't sit outside in the sun. Pick a delivery time when someone's home, or have it left with a front desk or guard gate.

Lakeland Christmas Gift Basket FAQs
Can I get a Christmas gift basket delivered the same day in Lakeland, FL?
Often, yes, inside Lakeland itself. Florist-delivered fruit and gourmet baskets can arrive the same day in most Lakeland ZIP codes when you order before the local cutoff, often around 11 AM local time. Addresses farther out in Polk County may only get next-day service, so check the dates offered at checkout.
Which Lakeland ZIP codes do you deliver Christmas baskets to?
We deliver Christmas gift baskets to every Lakeland ZIP code, including 33801, 33803, 33805, 33809, 33810, 33811, 33812, 33813, 33815, and to the rest of Polk County.
When should I order a Christmas basket to arrive in Lakeland by December 25, 2026?
Christmas 2026 is Friday, December 25. For Lakeland, 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 Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center?
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 Florida Southern College?
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 Lakeland cost?
Our Christmas baskets run from $39.99 to $349.99, plus a delivery fee shown at checkout for your Lakeland address. Most people spend $40 to $100 on family and friends, and $150 or more on clients.
