In this scenario, there's no need to be wary of a big basketcase. Sunshine Baskets puts together lavish gourmet gifts customizable for every holiday and any occasion you can possibly think of. But owner Tamara Davis goes way beyond the predictable celebratory occasions—her creations become as personable as the person accepting the gift. Leaving no basket unturned, Davis has broadened her repertoire to cater to virtually anyone in terms of demographic, lifestyle and hobby. Have your pick—Junk Food Junkie, Showtime Movie, Boater's Glory, Football Fanatic, Golf Lover, Paw Patrol, Chocolate Madness, Coffee Time, Bath & Snacks, Lucky Lady, and even a Finding Dory and an Ultimate Redneck—just to name a few prime examples. Especially noteworthy are the native themed Floridian baskets, to put a little estra "sunshine" in someone's day. Taste of Florida, Life's a Beach and Hurricane Surival Kit consist of locally sourced items such as Sirards Seafoam, Simon's coffee beans, local honey and hot sauces, Amish apple butter and baked breads, keepsake postcards, candles, baggie of Siesta Key sand, Sarasota Taffy, key lime-flavored goodies, flamingo-shaped pasta and craft beers from local breweries.

Davis is continually in search of the most festive and out-of-the-box ingredients to deviate from the boring fruit and candy landmarks. Discover specialty snacks galore, as well as gourmet commodities relating to your desired theme. “Our unique handmade gift baskets are a creative alternative to flowers, and certainly last much longer,” says Davis. “Baskets are stuffed full of great items and gifts that will leave a lasting impression on the recipient.”

All baskets come impeccably “dressed to impress”, wrapped in cello with a handmade bow and ribbons. Daily local delivery is available to businesses, homes, hotels, hospitals and everywhere in between within Bradenton, Venice, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Osprey and Nokomis. Worldwide shipping also available daily. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, call Tamara Davis to customize a bespoke basket!
