We ship using UPS, USPS and FedEx. Ground shipping "typically" takes 1-2 business days in the DC area to 1-5 days natiowide, depending on destination. Some carriers will deliver over the weekend or on holidays, however this is not guaranteed.

All gifts are made to order and may take 1-3 days to process. If you would like to confirm when a gift will ship call or text 301.799.4532 or email hello@capitalgiftbaskets.com and we will be in touch within 1 business day. We do not ship on weekends to avoid gifts sitting in shipper warehouses over the weekend where temperatures may be extreme. Please note that if you choose expedited shipping it is from the date your basket is created, not from the date on which you place the order.

Same day delivery is not available at this time. We hope to be able to offer a more expedited local shipping option during first quarter of 2024. Please contact us with any questions.

You will see options for expedited shipping on the checkout page.

We love charitable causes. We believe that nothing in life matters more than what you do for others. Each year, we allocate a certain amount of funds to support community activities through donations and discounts.

The requestor must meet the following criteria 1) be a current year Capital Gift Baskets customer and a 501c-3 organization which benefits people in the DMV area. If your organization meets these criteria, please contact us for an application.
