WHO WE ARE
One summer evening we, the Whitman sisters, realized the need for a local and sustainably-sourced gift basket company in our beloved hometown of Greenwich, CT.
Since then, we have made this vision a reality and blended our expertise in marketing and design to curate Greenwich Gift Baskets. Didi graduated from Marymount Manhattan College with a degree in Business and a concentration in Fashion Marketing in 2018. Juliann graduated from The Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University with a degree in Marketing 2020. We truly believe the gift of a customizable and thoughtful basket will delight everyone on a variety of occasions.
All baskets are unique and made to order and will include locally sourced products. We are excited to bring joy to our customers and are looking forward to working with other local businesses.

When did your love of gift baskets begin?
With my love for shopping and career in buying, I have always loved putting baskets together for friends and family for special occasions. Why just buy one thing when you can buy a few things and put them together in a fun way?!
What is your favorite gift basket?
I love all of our baskets since they are all different and made to order! I would say my favorite occasion for the basket would be the Hostess With The Mostess Basket.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time I love walking my two Dachshunds, Ranger and Maverick. I also love playing tennis, running, going to dinner and concerts with my husband, family, and friends, and riding to the beat at Soul Cycle.
Who is your favorite artist?
This one is easy! Taylor Swift, of course.
JULIANN WHITMAN
Co-founder
When did your love of gift baskets begin?
With the success of my garden a few years ago, I started hand delivering the surplus to friends and family in baskets, and still do this today! I love sharing the fruits and veggies I grow, and making a cute presentation in a basket. This is where the inspiration for the Farmers Market Basket came from!
What is your favorite gift basket?
My favorite has to be the Healthy(ish) Sweet Treat Basket since the banana bread and granola come from my kitchen!
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy gardening, baking, playing tennis, and any activity that includes being outdoors! I also really love cooking and sharing meals with family & friends.
Who is your favorite artist?
I’m with Didi on this one, Taylor Swift!
