Hospital, senior living, hospice, campus & hotel deliveries in Minneapolis

A basket ships by parcel to a street address, so it cannot go to a PO box, a graveside or a service. What it can do is reach a bedside, a resident's door, a campus mailroom or a hotel front desk, as long as the order names the person the way that place expects. Below, the kinds of places in and around Minneapolis that boxes get sent to, how each one receives a parcel, and a local example laid out the way the label should read. For a service itself, the same-day flowers on this page go by hand through the local florist.

Hospitals

Parcels go to the hospital's receiving desk or mailroom and are brought up by staff, so pick a delivery day that lands before the expected discharge. Baked goods, fruit and snack boxes suit a room; nothing that needs a fridge. Where a unit does not allow fresh flowers, a basket or a plant is the surer gift.

Also near Minneapolis: Children's Hospitals & Clinics of Mn and M Health Fairview University of Mn Medical Center, and 1 more.

Senior living and nursing homes

Reception signs for the box and staff bring it through, so a weekday delivery reaches the resident faster than a Saturday one. Soft baked goods, fruit and sugar-free boxes are the usual choice.

Hospice care

Reception signs. Most senders choose something the relatives keeping vigil can share: coffee, tea, cookies, fruit.

Also near Minneapolis: Grace Hospice.

Colleges and campus mailrooms

Campus mailrooms hold parcels for pickup and notify the student, so a text to say a box is on the way helps. Exam weeks and move-in are the busy times; care packages go out two business days ahead.

Hotels

The front desk matches the box to the reservation and hands it over at check-in. Ship for the day the guest arrives or the day before, never for after checkout.

How delivery to Minneapolis works

Gift baskets (shipped)

  1. Choose the basket and the delivery day you want. The calendar at checkout shows the days available for your recipient's ZIP code: an order placed by 3:45 PM Eastern can arrive as soon as two days later.
  2. Your basket is packed to order by one of our gift basket partners.
  3. It ships 2-day to Minneapolis; you get a shipping confirmation with tracking when it leaves.
  4. The carrier brings it to the door, the front desk or the mailroom on the day you chose, so it is worth checking that someone will be around.

Next-day delivery is offered for some regions at certain times of the year; the checkout calendar shows what is available for your recipient's address.

Flowers and fruit baskets (hand-delivered the same day)

Order bySame-day delivery
Monday–Friday2:00 PM
Saturday12:45 PM
SundayNot available*

Times are your recipient's local time (Central). Flowers and fruit baskets on this page are fulfilled by James Cress Florist (family-run since 1903) through a florist near Minneapolis that it has vetted: that shop makes the piece from fresh stock and brings it to the door by hand. *Sundays: the florists in that network deliver only on a few major holidays. In the rare case that no florist near Minneapolis can take the order, the full amount is refunded.

If I order a basket today, when can it reach Minneapolis?

Baskets ship 2-day, sooner in some regions, and you pick the delivery day on the calendar at checkout. An order placed by 3:45 PM Eastern can arrive as soon as two days later; the calendar shows the exact days open for your recipient's ZIP code (55401, 55402, 55403 and others).

Can a basket be shipped to Abbott Northwestern Hospital?

Yes. Abbott Northwestern Hospital sits 1 mile out from Minneapolis, and the box goes to its street address. Address the box to the patient's full name with the unit or room number and use the hospital's street address. Hospitals take parcels at a receiving desk or mailroom and staff bring them up, so pick a delivery day that lands before the expected discharge; a box that arrives after the patient has left sits in the mailroom until someone claims it. Fresh flowers are not allowed on some units, so for intensive care or oncology a basket or a plant is the surer gift.

When to ship what to Minneapolis

Baskets travel by parcel and can wait on a step for an afternoon, so the month decides the contents. Thirty-year averages for Minneapolis, month by month, with the ones that matter marked.

  11. Nov now 40°27° Freezing
  12. Dec 27°15° Freezing

November in Minneapolis: afternoons around 40°F, nights around 27°F. A box that waits outside overnight can freeze, so jams, sauces and fresh fruit do better at an office or a front desk than on a porch.

Freezing nights (January, February, March, November and December). The average low reaches 8°F in January. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.

Wettest months (June and July). Around 4.8 and 4.6 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.

On freezing nights a shipped box waits outside; flowers do not. The same-day flowers on this page are carried in by a local florist and handed over.

Normals: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, 1991 to 2020, Lower St Anthony Falls station, 3.0 miles from Minneapolis. Heat: average high 85°F or more. Freezing: average low 32°F or less. Snow: 2 inches or more in the month. Wettest: the two months with the most rain.
