The Sunshine Shop

I was home sick with the flu and family wanted to send me something to help brighten my day. They chose the Sunshine Shop and they were incredibly nice. I missed their drop off knocking at the door but came out to collect such a great basket filled with all kinds of great fresh fruit. As I was picking it up, the woman delivering it came back because she wanted to make sure that she covered up the delivery so it wouldn’t be taken by strangers or be ruined by the sun and had to go to the car to get stuff to cover it. What a great step in customer service that you dont see that much these days.
She was very nice and wished me well, incredibly amazing person. It’s always that special touch of customer service when you interact with a person that is very kind and restores your faith in humanity, especially when you are sick.
If you have a family member not feeling well, someone in the hospital, or just someone special that youd love to send something great to… please use this company. It’ll make the basket that much better with the personal touch they put on it!
Thank you for bringing some Sunshine to my day!

This is a fantastic shop!
I live in Columbus, OH but my family is in middle Tennessee. When my father was admitted to Vanderbilt Medical Center Burn Unit, my sisters and I wanted to send something to cheer him up a bit since we couldn’t be there with him. Flowers were not allowed on the unit, so I started searching for snack baskets with items he would like (he’s not a big fan of sweets). I jotted down a list of his favorite things and started searching every online vendor that one commonly thinks of (Harry & David, Edible Arrangements, etc) but couldn’t find anything that matched my list that could be delivered same or next day without a ridiculously high delivery fee ($ 40 for shipping — no thanks!).
As a last ditch effort, I decided to look for a local shop. I found The Sunshine Shop — and all my frustration disappeared as soon as I called them! I gave the friendly shop clerk the list of things I wanted to send him — pears, summer sausage, cheese, crackers, mixed nuts, and a couple additional items I can’t remember now — she confirmed that they had each item and gave me options when they were available. After about 10 minutes of providing my list of his favorites and discussing options with the clerk, my order was taken and I waited — not breathing — for the damage… I thought she was kidding and came back with an extremely reasonable price (much less than all the web stores and the delivery fee of only $ 5). They also took my credit card info over the phone since I was not in the area. Within 2 hours of placing the order, my sisters and I received a text from our dad saying how much he loved the basket.
I can’t express how happy I was with the service I received from this great gift shop! They managed to make this seemingly small part of the whole situation our family is dealing with very easy. I’ll never send a gift basket in Nashville from anywhere else!

What a great Shop, with one phone call I had the ideal juice basket ready for pick-​up within an hour. I will never shop anywhere else for gift baskets.
Thank you ALL that made it possible to bring a smile to a sick friend in the hospital. Your the Best! Jarod 403.8265

The Sunshine Shop is a gift basket store that has been around since 1954. Your eyes do not deceive you — it’s seen Watergate, the assassination of Kennedy, the invention of velcro, and lived to tell the tale.
Sunshine is a family business, and according to one of the staff members, some of their customers (or their customers’ families) have been with them since they opened. The options include fruit, candy, Christmas, Tennessee, birthday, sympathy, get well, plant, pasta, garden, congratulatory, golfer, seafood, baby shower, coffee, tea, and breakfast-​themed baskets, ranging from $ 26-​$ 125.
Although gift baskets aren’t really my style, I can see the appeal of giving and receiving these giant baskets full of all kinds of different goodies. The folks at Sunshine Shop seem to be good at what they do, judging by the attention I saw a staff member giving a customer. If you want to make your gift more personalized, you can also bring items in to be included in the basket. Sunshine also offers delivery service.
