Does the basket reach that address?

Maine Baskets delivers inside Maine and nowhere else. Type the recipient's ZIP code to see whether it falls in the delivery area, and what that means for a date before Christmas.

This looks at the ZIP code alone. You pick the delivery date on the product page, and checkout confirms it once the full street address is in.

When to order for Christmas

Christmas falls on a Friday in 2026, which makes Thursday, December 24 the last delivery date before it. Maine Baskets offers next-day delivery where available but publishes no cut-off hour, so treat Wednesday, December 23 as the very latest day to order for Christmas Eve, and only if checkout offers that date.

Gift	Order by
Thursday, December 24 The final date before Christmas Day. Pick it on the product page, and count on it only if checkout shows it as open for the address	Wednesday, December 23 at the latest. No cut-off hour is published, so sooner is better
Any earlier date Holidays and winter weather can slow deliveries, so a date a few days before Christmas Eve leaves room to spare	As soon as the gift is chosen

Wine, beer and spiritsA basket with alcohol goes only to someone 21 or older with photo ID, and an adult signature may be asked for. If no adult will be in, choose a basket without alcohol.

Out-of-the-way addressesRural, island and other remote addresses may need a review before the date is settled.

OfficesDeliveries to offices are made during business hours where possible.

If an item runs outA replacement keeps the basket's value, theme and presentation, and you may not be contacted first.

ChangesAsk for a change as early as possible; once the basket is being prepared, it may no longer be possible.

Christmas baskets bought more than once, by price

Each of these eleven baskets was chosen as a Christmas gift in at least two of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons, and each is on sale today. One was picked clearly more often than any other and carries a #1 mark: the Luxurious Holiday Wine Gift Basket Featuring Gourmet Chocolates and Snacks. The rest had no clear gap between them, so they are not ranked. Each price group shows its share of Christmas orders, and prices are current.

How to choose

Pointers drawn from three Christmas seasons of Maine Baskets orders.

Wine leads the way

47% of Christmas orders included wine, against 39% across all orders 2023–2025. At $39.99, the Premium Wine and Chocolate Truffles Basket with Wooden Corkscrew Set is the lowest-priced basket among these picks; the Christmas baskets with wine hold plenty more.

Bubbly, beer or spirits

Champagne or sparkling wine went into 8% of Christmas orders, fewer than the 11% across all orders 2023–2025, and liquor or whiskey into 6%. The Gourmet Whiskey Gift Basket with Acacia Wood Accessories pairs whiskey with snacks on an acacia board; there are also champagne, liquor and beer Christmas baskets.

No adult with ID at home?

Go alcohol-free: the Christmas Cookie Assortment in Marcus Robertus Lucca Ceramic Basket ($56.99), the Deluxe Cheese and Charcuterie Gift Basket ($71.99) or the Premium Gourmet Gift Set Featuring Cheese, Tapenade, and Chocolate ($110.99). The Christmas baskets without alcohol gather the rest.

Late buyers lean festive

Christmas-themed baskets made up 57% of final-week orders. Ordering late? Start with the Christmas gift baskets.

Most gifts reach $100

72% of Christmas orders came to $100 or more. For something smaller, the gifts under $100 include the Premium Two-Bottle Wine and Hollyberry Chocolate Gift Box.

One basket per person

97% of Christmas orders held a single basket and 3% held more than one. Sending to a whole team? The business section below is the easier route.

Christmas gifts from a company

Businesses placed 25% of Maine Baskets' Christmas orders, close to their 24% share of all orders 2023–2025. They also left it later: 45% of business orders came in the final week, against 28% of orders not flagged as business or bulk. A company list still goes most smoothly when it is in early, and five or more gift baskets save 10%.

Christmas questions

When is the last day to order for Christmas delivery?

Christmas Day 2026 is a Friday, so Thursday, December 24 is the final delivery date before it. Order by Wednesday, December 23 at the latest, and rely on that date only if checkout offers it for the address. No cut-off hour is published, and holidays and winter weather can slow deliveries, so an earlier date is the safer pick.

Does someone need ID for a basket with alcohol?

Yes. Wine, champagne, beer or spirits are handed only to someone 21 or older who shows photo ID, and an adult signature may be asked for. Baskets without alcohol, such as the Christmas Cookie Assortment in Marcus Robertus Lucca Ceramic Basket, need no ID.

Can a basket arrive on the day it is ordered?

Same-day delivery is not offered. Next-day delivery is offered where available, and the product page shows which dates can be picked.

What does delivery cost?

Checkout shows the delivery charge, if any, once the full address is entered.

What happens if an item is out of stock?

Maine Baskets puts in a replacement that keeps the basket's value, theme and presentation. When time is short, this can happen without a call first.

Can I change the delivery date or address?

Ask as early as you can. Once preparation of the basket has begun, a change may not be possible.

Can I include a personal message?

Yes. A personalized greeting message can be included with the basket.

How do I follow my order?

Go to the order tracking page and enter the email address and ZIP code used when ordering. Details appear there once the order is being prepared.
