We all know someone far from home. Maybe it's a college student cramming for finals, a service member stationed overseas, or a friend who moved away but still calls Kentucky home. The Kentucky Care Package is our way of helping you send them a big, warm hug from the Bluegrass!
The smiles start the moment it arrives. This bright red gable-style picnic box is topped with a red-and-white gingham bow and a built-in handle, so it's gift-ready the second it lands on the doorstep. Inside, we packed a little bit of everything that makes Kentucky so special:
- Sip a true Kentucky original. Ale-8-One has been a Bluegrass favorite since 1926, with a crisp ginger-citrus flavor that tastes like home to anyone who grew up here.
- Unwrap a sweet Ale-8 twist. Our Ale-8-One Candy Stick turns that famous soda flavor into an old-fashioned treat.
- Savor a Louisville classic. Bauer's Modjeskas have wrapped soft marshmallow in rich, buttery caramel since 1889.
- Enjoy a timeless candy bar. The Blue Monday from Ruth Hunt Candy pairs creamy pulled candy with smooth chocolate.
- Taste a Kentucky original. Mom Blakeman's Original Pull Candy has been handcrafted in Kentucky since 1941, delivering a soft, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth bite that's impossible to forget.
- Crunch into sweet and savory snacks. Cappy's Caramel Popcorn is made with natural ingredients and no preservatives, while Najla's Rosemary Shortbread with sea salt offers a sweet-and-savory surprise.
- Fuel up like a jockey. Jockey's Delite Snack Mix blends peanuts, raisins, and colorful chocolate candies for a fun, munchable mix.
- Keep a piece of the track. A Dirty Old Horseshoe from Churchill Downs is a real keepsake from the home of the Kentucky Derby.
- Send a little love. The "Somebody in Kentucky Loves Me" magnet says it all and lives on the fridge long after the snacks are gone!

Have a question about our wonderful Kentucky gift baskets? We've put together answers to some of our most common questions to help you out!
How quickly will my gift basket ship?
We work hard to get your gifts out the door as quickly as possible, usually within 1-3 business days! Shipping times will then vary based on the destination. If you have a specific deadline, please contact our team, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
What are my delivery options?
We proudly ship our authentic Kentucky gift baskets nationwide! For our local friends, we also offer a convenient Louisville pickup option at our store or local delivery. Simply select your preferred method during checkout.
Can you make substitutions or create a custom basket?
Absolutely! To ensure your gift arrives perfectly, we may occasionally need to substitute an item with another of equal or greater value. For custom gift baskets or special requests for corporate gift baskets, please reach out to us directly so we can create something truly special for you!
Can I include a gift message?
Of course! Every gift should have a personal touch. You will have the option to add a gift message during the checkout process. For corporate orders, we can also discuss including branded materials.
What if an item is out of stock?
We strive to keep our most popular items ready to go! If a specific item in a basket is temporarily unavailable, we will substitute it with a similar product of equal or greater value to ensure your gift is still packed with Kentucky charm.
What about food allergies or dietary restrictions?
Because our gift baskets contain a variety of products from different local artisans, we cannot guarantee they are free from allergens like nuts, soy, gluten, or dairy. If you have concerns about specific ingredients, please contact us before ordering.
Our shipping schedule is Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM, using UPS Ground Service as our primary shipping method. We strive to ship orders the same day. Orders placed after 2 pm EST may ship the following day.
While we aim to ship all orders the same day, items like chocolates, pies, and cakes require extra care. During the hot summer months (June-September, sometimes October) we avoid shipping these perishable items on Fridays, and occasionally on Thursdays.This varies based on temperatures and distance.
This precaution ensures that these delicate items do not sit in hot UPS vans or warehouses over the weekend, when shipments are not actively moving. Any orders we hold for this reason will be shipped the following Monday, unless it's a holiday.
