Giving the gift of smiley faces.

The gift basket business is all about putting more smiles on more faces. Joining THE original basket boutique as a Creative Partner, Franchisee or Master Franchisor means you bcome part of a unique feel-good industry-that feels good. Really good.

They keep coming back.

We create custom gifts with the highest quality gourmet foods and specialty items.  Loyal customers rely on THE original basket boutique to craft something special for holidays and life events like birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, new babies, condolences and even the occasional "whoops, I'm sorry" gift.  Small businesses and large corporations appreciate our ability to work as a trusted team member by incorporating their own brand onto gifts for immediate recipient recognition. Our reputation for memorable gifts and authentic service keeps customers coming back. Apparently, smiles can be addictive.

Typical franchisee? There's no such thing.

Our franchisees are a fascinating mix of experienced entrepreneurs, ambitious artists, former corporate folks, momprenuers, and even basket company owners looking to take it to another level. Each year we proudly celebrate the local successes of each franchisee in their community, whether they're championing fundraising causes or accepting nominations from their local civic organizations. Everyone on our team makes gourmet gifts, yet everyone is unique, with a variety of interests and objectives.

We like our franchisees and they like us. Others seem to like us too-Entrepreneur Magazine has ranked THE original basket boutique in the Top Franchise list each year since 2007. Aw shucks.
