Black Eyed Susan began as a gift basket company in 2004. The company produces Maryland gift baskets. All baskets either feature products that are made in Maryland or carry a Maryland theme.  Business owner Susan Seaman states, “Black Eyed Susan Gift Baskets began selling corporate baskets that specialized in making Maryland visitors feel welcome and their stay more memorable. However, shortly after we began the business and were voted “Best of Baltimore” we began to receive orders from consumers. Our business took off and to date we have sent a taste of Maryland to 45 states.”

Black Eyed Susan Coffee, Candy, Cream and More features some of Maryland’s finniest foods, gifts, local art and of course the “Best of Baltimore” Maryland Themed Black Eyed Susan Gift Baskets. Seaman states, “We are delighted to partner with some of the region’s best local businesses including Zeke’s Coffee and Wockenfuss Candy. The shop also sells pre-packaged goodies including Chesapeake Bay Snack Mix, UTZ Crab Potato Chips, Blue Crab Bay Co. Nuts and Drink Mixes, Maryland Fortune Cookies and Berger hometown chocolate cookies. Plus they sell gift and apparel items featuring the Baltimore Ravens, Orioles and Maryland Themes.

Black Eyed Susan Gift Baskets LLC is a woman owned business.
