Let’s be honest about what we are: a working date farm, not a gift-wrap company. There’s no velvet ribbon here, no branded tissue paper you’ll throw away. What a Desert Sun Dates gift box actually is: the freshest Medjool dates in California, packed by the farmer’s own hands, with your gift note included — shipped anywhere in the lower 48, shipping included. The people we send them to seem to think that beats ribbon.

Sealed containers of fresh California Medjool dates packed with care as a gift box
What arrives: sealed farm containers, packed snug, your note on top. Honest as the fruit.

How a farm does gifting

  • Your gift note, included. Tell us what to say in the order notes at checkout — it goes on a card, on top of the fruit. First thing they see.
  • Packed like it matters. Sealed containers, padded, sized boxes — no rattling, no crushed fruit, no invoice inside (never, on gift orders — just say it’s a gift).
  • Current-harvest fruit. A gift of dates picked this season, from a real family farm — the story is the wrapping.
  • Straight to their door, shipping included in every price you see.

We’d rather spend on the fruit than the box. A gift box here means jumbo fresh Medjool and your note on top — not $9 of cardboard theater.

Gift questions

Can you include a gift note?
Yes — include it in the order notes at checkout and it rides on top of the box, every time.

Will there be a price or invoice in the box?
No. Gift orders ship with the note and the fruit, nothing else.

How long do they keep?
Months — dates are the rare gift that won’t wilt. Point them at our storage guide and the box lasts past the occasion.

When should I order for the holidays?
Standard transit is 2–5 days after packing; order the second week of December to land calmly before the 24th.
