Testimonials

I have worked with Mark before and we were amazed by his creation.
This time he knew we were going for something very special for our wonderful Nephew and did he ever achieve that and so much more! Working with him is like working with a friend. I told him what we were looking for and he got it all and then some into that perfect basket.
Our Nephew loved it and we love you for creating just what we wanted to send him.
We can’t thank you enough Mark. We will always come to you as our basket butler
It was perfect, Sandy R Kerr

The back story is that I love the Chewy commercial with dogs Giorgio and Ralph chatting and singing about the arrival of “the peanut-butter box,” so it was an epic surprise to discover my very own peanut-butter box on the porch recently. Basket Butler owner Mark Ballis did an outstanding job of curating the contents to the gift-giver’s exact guidelines and designing the box to fit my ongoing preoccupation with this commercial, right down to the colors and font on the professionally printed label. It was delivered to my doorstep precisely when the sender requested, with the delicious goodies packaged beautifully. Absolutely made my day to receive it and to see the great attention to detail that was put into crafting the order — PERFECT gift and amazing service from Basket Butler!

Mark has always gone above and beyond in providing the most beautiful baskets to my clients. Each have been so personal and well put together. I love to see the look on their faces when they receive them. His pricing is more than reasonable with all the brilliant gifts he provides in his baskets. 

Mark is phenomenal! My team and I had a last minute request for a basket for a coworker and he was able to get it done and delivered same day! The service and communication were amazing. I would highly recommend this company and definitely use it again. Thank you for helping us out Mark! We appreciate you!

Whenever we need a basket we will call Mark first. The personal service and attention to detail was beyond amazing. He knew we were helping our daughter comfort a friend and his mother after getting the news of his fathers death.
The last thing they needed was more flowers so we offered a fruit basket which was met with approval. But when Mark himself delivered it and added extras it really lifted their spirits. He called it the “the gift basket to eclipse all other gift baskets….such a wonderful assemblage of tasty things!” We can’t thank you enough Mark. You are wonderful!

My daughter had her baby two weeks early in Arizona and I was still in Virginia. I planned to put a hospital survival basket together when I got there but the baby had other plans ????. I called Tammy in a panic and told her of my dilemma and she and Mark walked me through the process of putting together three baskets into one perfectly balanced basket that included something for everyone! It was as beautiful and surprising as my new granddaughter. They absolutely loved it when it arrived and since they didn’t have time to have a snack basket ready, they were so happy when it was delivered it the next day (at no extra charge)! It was the most incredible shopping experience I’ve had in a very, very long time. I’m still blown away by the warm and friendly customer service. Thanks again y’all!

I had been looking for the perfect anniversary basket to send to a very special couple in AZ. None of the commercial sites had anything that seemed to fit the bill. I happened upon Mark’s website and gave him a call. He was able to put together the perfect gift with a personal touch! Highly recommended!

Mark is an absolute delight to work with. My daughter is a freshman at the University of Arizona and I have already used him two times. I will be back many more, five stars. His professionalism, attention to detail, presentation and customer service is amazing! He goes above and beyond and is so accommodating. He takes such pride in his work and I am so grateful I found him.

Thanks Mark!

I just want to say thank you for going above and beyond. You worked with my daughter in Tennessee to build a basket made just for me and all the things I like. (I am a Denver Broncos Nut and also like red wine and anything caramel) You also went out of your way to deliver it at 7:30 pm as I apparently wasn’t home at other times you attempted to deliver it. Thank You! Thank You!

Basket Butler has the best customer service! It was Christmas week and suddenly we couldn’t go to Tucson to see family, so needing a fast present I emailed Basket Butler from on their website and 30 mins later they called and could fill and deliver the basket before Christmas! Excellent Looking Basket! Excellent Customer Service !! 10 Stars if they were available!!

I was extremely pleased with this company. They handled my request in a personal way and delivered a wonderful gift basket exactly as promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
I highly recommend Mark and Tami.

It’s so difficult when sending gifts from overseas to know what you will get however with Mark on the job it was not only easy but I felt relaxed and confident knowing he would do a great job. He went above and beyond to get the basket to our friend (even when I sent him to the wrong address!). It is so good to see a business that understands the importance of gift giving and how to make it a special experience not only for the person receiving the basket but the buyer as well. Truly grateful Mark

Beyond impressed! Mark’s customer service, speed and attention to detail helped me and my company get a basket delivered same day. Making this impact meant a lot to the recipient and Mark just earned a return customer!
I wish every business had Mark’s mantra for meeting customer needs. Thanks Mark, it’s been a pleasure working with you. Five stars.

I’ve known Mark Ballis for years and call him a friend. I have purchased baskets in the past and the recipients have loved them. This week I found myself in the position of BEING a recipient, as Mark and some other friends put together a “Get-Well” basket for me. The thought that went into it was amazing- I love the snacks, but the cartoon character band-aids were my favorite part, showing that Mark really does go out of his way to provide a very personal touch.

Need to let someone know you care? Call Mark.

Found the Basket Butler via Google search & called Mark from Kansas City area for an extremely last minute basket for my dad to wish him a Happy Father’s Day. Mark was so kind & after a brief conversation by phone, within just a few hours the most perfect basket was delivered to my parents door. Highly recommend & will absolutely order again in the future!!

I called Mark at 2pm asking for a delivery by 4pm. He happened to be in Marana however after explaining my panic-he drove back to his shop and met with me to help me create the most beautiful basket in a matter of 30 minutes! I was able to deliver the basket at 4pm on the dot. It made a HUGE impression and impact on a very important contract!!! Thank you Mark! We will only go thru you going forward!!! You are amazing!!

HELLO MARK,
JUST A LINE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE BASKET YOU DELIVERED IS BEAUTIFUL AND I THANK YOU FOR MAKING A SPECIAL EFFORT TO OBTAIN ALL THE ITEMS I REQUESTED. I SHALL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU WHENEVER THE OCCASION ARISES.

We luckily found Basket Butler when searching for a local company in the area who would customize 2 gift baskets. Not only did Mark Ballis do that, he went above and beyond to make it special for the family who was to receive these 2 baskets. One was for the adults and the other for the teenage boys – and that’s not easy to put together for teenagers! Mark, thank you for keeping joy in our daily lives especially during these challenging times.

I told Mark what I wanted, and he went ABOVE and beyond to create a beautiful southwest themed basket for our out of country visitors. SOOOO much more for my money than I would EVER get from a national chain!!! Basket Butler is definitely one of the most valuable hidden treasures in Tucson!

Thank you so very much for the amazing basket you created for me on behalf of Dollar Mark. From the teas and delightful yellow infusion tea pot to the huge “Thank You” cup and insulated travel mug PLUS the relaxation products and gift cards and lots of purple (my fav)–WOW!! What a wonderful creation that fits me to a “TEA” (pun intended ????). So many thanks for the amazing work of art! YOU SO ROCK!!!

I contacted Basket Butler with a special request for my anniversary and he exceeded my expectations! Aside from the fact that it was short notice, he made it super easy and was in communication with me the whole time. The basket was perfect and I appreciate the personal touch! Will definitely buy again. Thank you!

While searching for a gift basket, I was disappointed with the quality of the available products from leading national floral and gift basket companies. I happened across Basket Butler on line. In reviewing the web site, I realized with Basket Butler, I could customize the basket, shop locally and support local artisans making unique Tucson products. Mark was so easy to work with, and delivered a unique and elegant basket. I highly recommend Basket Butler!

I never have to worry about how the recipient of a Basket Butler gift basket is going to feel. They are consistently loved by anyone who receives one. Big or small, let Mark assemble a gift basket that will impress anyone for any reason!

How do you thank your neurosurgeon for helping you walk again ?! You send a basket from Basket Butler! Truly, I was thrown from a horse and I needed spinal surgery . I have the best neurosurgeon in the world and needed to thank him for getting me back on my feet. Mark at Basket Butler created the most amazing and unique basket I’ve ever seen!!! When you need a gift that says it all -this is what you should send! Amazing!!!

I called upon Mark twice within several weeks for condolence baskets, never an easy task. He handled the requests with the utmost professionalism, had both delivered as promptly as I had requested, and the gesture was truly appreciated by each recipient. I will undoubtedly turn to Mark again for his beautiful creations!

We have used Mark’s baskets to compliment business development for the past several years. The Butler’s baskets are well presented, well organized, and provide a unique gift option. The cookies, treats, and snacks are always fresh and delectable. The pretzel sticks – a personal favorite – offer a unique touch that is always welcomed. The product is perfect and highly recommended!

My stress level was out of control before I met Mark when it came to partner gifting. He has changed this experience for me tremendously.
I give Mark a list and he makes it happen. Thank you Basket Butler for all your amazing work and attention to detail.

Mark’s dedication to creating the perfect basket for you is impressive. He helps you pick the perfect baskets for your clients or loved ones, and prepares them as if they were for his own family! The love he puts into his work will show when you see the happy faces of those who get his baskets.

I turn to Basket Butler for a variety of gifts each year, and Mark never disappoints! The quality of the baskets impress everyone who sees them. Our clients and staff are always excited to receive one. The quality and presentation of each basket keeps me coming back. I’ve asked for baskets one at a time, as well as large holiday gift quantities. Every time I throw a curve ball to Mark, he steps up to the plate and knocks it out of the park! It’s been a wonderful partnership!

Since I have met Mark, he has gone above and beyond EVERY TIME to make sure the baskets I’ve ordered are extraordinary with individual pieces that made each one priceless! From a very special basket for an amazing women well into her 90s to baskets themed around World War II – Mark made sure every basket had items that brought back memories. Trust Mark every time to do your gift baskets – amazing baskets, affordable, exceptional customer service and a dear family man committed to his country and community!

I have used Mark more than once for an idea of gift giving. He knew just how to put together a gift perfect for the person I was giving it to.

Whether you wanted to throw in some ideas of your own or don’t have the time Mark will put it together perfectly. Mark’s baskets are beautifully presented & you can expect you will be giving more than a gift basket when using Basket Butler, you will be giving a gift of gratitude!

Mark Ballis made a basket for my Nurses Day Giveaway. I had an idea of a couple things that I wanted in it and he did all the rest. It was so simple and came out looking very good. It was finished quickly and priced well, so I’m very pleased and can’t wait to give it to the winner of the drawing!!

I was the lucky recipient of a baseball-themed gift basket made by Mark at Basket Butler. It had all the required ingredients-popcorn/crackerjacks, pretzels, chocolate, peanut snacks, etc. Perfect for the sports lover in your family or a fun kid’s basket to break up the summer doldrums. I highly recommend Mark for your next gift-giving opportunity.

For the past several years, Mark with Basket Butler has designed gift baskets for me to thank clients. The presentation is always outstanding, and when I walk in the door to take them to a client, the response is amazing! Mark takes great pride in his work, and is prompt and attentive to any special requests. The baskets clearly make a statement, the products are bountiful, and clearly will express gratitude and show great appreciation for the business! The baskets have continued to be a hit and have led to referrals and future business from my clients.
