There’s nothing like getting a perfectly curated gift basket — particularly if you’ve got that sucker right on time and nicely wrapped. Be it the birthday of your best friend, a little baby born, someone’s well-deserved promotion or even a simple “thinking of you”, a beautifully curated gift box will say much more than tasty treats, it will deliver a feeling.

At Ilam Florist Christchurch we bring you in heart touching gift basket making. Our Christchurch gift shop offers everything from exquisite indulgences to fresh flowers, a balance of beauty and thought. Plus, with same-day delivery across Christchurch, you can brighten someone’s day with just a few clicks.

What Is in a Gift Basket?

Great question! A gift basket is usually a curated selection of themed items — such as treats, flowers, pamper products or practical goodies — artistically arranged and attractively packaged. Ilham Florist hand-makes every gift basket from scratch with love and care.

Here’s a look at what you might find packed into one of our specially curated gift hampers:

• Fresh seasonal flowers from our Christchurch florist team

• Chocolates and gourmet sweets by local NZ manufacturers

• Relaxing tea or coffee blends

• Candles or bath treats for some self-pampering

• Sweets or artisanal snacks

• Hearing toys or baby necessities for children

• A handwritten message to make it even more special

Each item is selected to accommodate the occasion, whether it is Christmas, a birthday or a corporate affair.

What Goes Inside a Gift Basket?

That depends on who you’re giving it to! Gift baskets are all about versatility, probably the best thing about them. You can fill them with:

• Sweet or savoury snacks (fudge, cookies, crackers, cheese)

• Skincare or relaxation stuff (lotions, bath bombs, sleep masks)

• Beverages (coffee, tea and even bubbles or wine for some gift baskets)

• Florals (always a go-to from our florist shop in Christchurch)

• Books or puzzles for downtime inj silence

• Use Kiwi-made products for that local touch

DIY Surprise Gift Basket: A super fast way to create a gift basket

Especially if you are a DIYer, we get this question a lot!

If you’re pressed for time, here’s an easy way to throw together an impromptu gift basket:

1. Choose a theme – e.g., pamper, food, birthday, baby, Christmas

2. Select 3–5 high-quality items – ensure they go well with each other

3. Include a personal note – such as a handwritten note or photograph

4. Utilize a lovely container – baskets, wooden crates, or stylish boxes

5. Put a bow on it — literally, or cellophane, or perhaps actual flowers

Or... you can leave it to us! We are ready, with the ideas and supplies and the Christchurch delivery service to get it out there.
