Create Your Own Gift Basket — A La Carte Gifting from 5280Gourmet
At 5280Gourmet, we believe a gift basket should feel personal. Our A La Carte Gift Basket program lets you build a custom gourmet gift basket by choosing the basket, crate, or container first, then adding the foods, chocolates, snacks, fruit, cheese, charcuterie, Colorado products, and specialty gifts you want included.
This is a great option when you want something more personal than a pre-designed basket. Whether you are sending a birthday gift, holiday gift, thank-you gift, sympathy gift, corporate gift, client gift, or a special surprise for family or friends, we can help turn your selections into a beautiful finished gift.
Start Here: How It Works
Creating your own gift basket is simple: choose your basket, add your favorite products, and our team professionally arranges everything into a polished gift basket ready for delivery.
Step 1: Select a Basket, Crate, or Container
The first step is choosing the basket or container that will hold your gift. This gives us the base for arranging your selections and helps determine how many products will fit nicely.
Step 2: Add Gourmet Products
After selecting your basket, browse our A La Carte categories and add the products you want included. You can build a sweet basket, savory basket, Colorado-themed gift, cheese and charcuterie basket, chocolate basket, healthy snack basket, fruit basket, or a completely personalized mix.
- Chocolate bars, truffles, cookies, brownies, pastries, and candy
- Cheese, charcuterie, crackers, smoked salmon, caviar, and tinned seafood
- Colorado-made snacks, jerky, sauces, seasonings, honey, jams, and specialty foods
- Fresh fruit, produce, vegan products, vegetarian products, coffee, tea, and beverages
- Olive oils, vinegars, truffle products, olives, pickles, condiments, and gourmet pantry items
- Bath and beauty gifts, cocktail mixers, Bloody Mary mixes, and specialty add-ons
Step 3: We Build the Gift Basket
Once your order is placed, our team arranges the products into the basket you selected. We focus on balance, presentation, freshness, and making the finished gift look thoughtful and generous.
Every custom gift basket is assembled with care. You choose the direction, and we handle the presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to select a basket first?
Yes. Please select a basket, crate, or container first. This gives us the base we need to create your finished gift basket.
Can I order only A La Carte products?
The A La Carte products are intended to be added to a basket so we can create a completed custom gift. If you need something different, contact us and we can help guide you.
How many products fit in a basket?
It depends on the size of the basket you select and the size of the products you add. Smaller baskets hold fewer items, while larger baskets can accommodate a fuller gift. If something does not fit properly, we will use our judgment to make the finished basket look attractive and balanced.
