History
Established in 1954.
Always family owned and operated, The Sunshine Shop has seen three generations of gift makers. Since 1954, we’ve created our baskets with the taste and style of the time. That’s 60 years of design ideas for your baskets; enough experience to be the première place for your gift giving needs.
It all started in 1944 when a local fruit and vegetable wholesaler named Lon Tanksley decided to make fruit baskets for his friends and employees at Christmas time. He enlisted the help of his daughter, Mary Ann Papuchis, and her best friend, Aileen Rogers. Mrs. Rogers developed our first fruit basket design for Mr. Tanksley that year. It was so popular among their recipients that Mr. Tanksley began to sell fruit baskets as a side business out of his wholesale produce warehouse, creating the first gift basket shop in Nashville, TN. After closing down the wholesale business, Mr Tanksley opened The Sunshine Shop, supplying Mary Ann and Aileen with new and exciting items for their gift baskets.

Business Owner
Janet bought the business from her mother in 2004. Since she grew up making baskets with her mother, it is inherent for her to try to make each gift basket a special one for the recipient as well as the giver. Each basket is made with love and care according to customer specifications after the order is placed.
