Deal of the Day

4.9 / 5.0 · 984 verified reviews

Deal of the Day is where we drop a rotating pick of our hand-assembled baskets at a sharper price, so shoppers watching the total can still send something that punches above its tag. Expect wine and chocolate truffles, Italian gourmet with biscotti and breadsticks, coffee and wafers, or a wooden crate stacked with cookies, crackers, pretzels, and popcorn, real bottles and full-size treats, not sample-size fillers. Prices start at $124.99 on this page and climb through the low-$200s to a $264.99 cheese-and-truffle showpiece.

Personalized message included with every basket

Damage protection

If anything arrives damaged, we make it right

Who buys the Deal of the Day, and what they send it for

Two shopper types keep coming back to this page. The first is a repeat sender with a last-minute reason to reach out, a friend's promotion, a coworker's rough week, a hostess showing up unannounced at a dinner party. They want something better than a grocery-store box and they'd rather spend $125 than $200 on it. The second is a small-business buyer sending a batch of client appreciation gift baskets or year-end corporate gift baskets and needs the per-recipient number to work across a list of twelve or thirty.

The rotation tends to cover the same use-cases that drive our best sellers, thank-yous, birthdays, a low-key sympathy send, a housewarming for new neighbours, and a coworker milestone. The Perfect Pairings wooden box lands well as a shared-office gift, the Italian gourmet crate reads as a proper thank-you, and the cheese-and-truffle option at the top of the range holds its own as an anniversary or executive gift. If nothing on sale fits the recipient, you can always build your own basket from scratch instead.

Common Questions

Deal of the Day FAQs

How often does the Deal of the Day change?

The Gourmet Gifts refreshes the Deal of the Day regularly, so the lineup rotates based on what our team is featuring that week. If you spot a basket you love at a deal price, grab it, once it's gone from the deal collection it goes back to regular pricing. For a broader look at what's popular year-round, browse our gourmet gift baskets.

Are the deal baskets the same quality as your full-priced ones?

Yes, every deal basket is hand-assembled with the same personally taste-tested products as the rest of our collection. Nothing on this page is clearance or short-dated stock, it's the same Perfect Pairings Wooden Box or European Cafe Delight Basket you'd pay full price for, just featured at a promotional price this week. You can compare against our wine and cheese gift baskets to see the range.

Can I get a Deal of the Day basket delivered same-day in Toronto?

Yes. The Gourmet Gifts offers same-day delivery in the GTA on orders placed before 4 PM ET, 7 days a week. Coverage includes Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, and Oakville, and deal baskets like the Artisan Treats Wooden Crate are hand-packed the same morning by our local team. You'll get live notifications from our delivery van as your basket is on its way, and you can also check our birthday gift baskets if the deal doesn't match the occasion.

Can I upgrade an item in a deal basket to something nicer?

Absolutely. Even on deal pricing, you can upgrade individual items to a higher-priced alternative by paying the price difference, and you can add extras like a bottle of wine or extra chocolates. If you'd rather handpick everything from scratch, our build your own basket option lets you assemble one item by item.

Is a Deal of the Day basket appropriate to send as a sympathy gift?

It depends on the basket. Something like the Healing Hugs Sympathy Gift Basket is specifically designed for condolences, but a wine or celebration-themed deal basket wouldn't be the right tone. If the occasion is bereavement, we'd steer you toward our sympathy gift baskets where every option is chosen with that moment in mind.

Do you ship Deal of the Day baskets across Canada?

Yes. The Gourmet Gifts ships deal baskets across Canada via UPS, with next-business-day delivery available to select at checkout. From British Columbia to the Maritimes, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and Halifax, your basket is hand-assembled the day it ships and a UPS tracking number is sent the moment it leaves our workshop. If you're sending a deal basket that contains wine or champagne, an adult of legal drinking age with government-issued photo ID must sign at delivery, and alcohol availability is confirmed at checkout, you can also explore our champagne gift baskets for the full range.

What makes a basket worth featuring as the Deal of the Day?

We rotate in baskets that showcase what we do best, hand-packed wooden crates, artisan biscotti, imported truffles, premium coffee, at a promotional price for a limited window. The Classic Gourmet Gift Basket, for example, includes cheeses, chocolates, olives, and truffles across a generous spread, and featuring it as a deal gives more shoppers a chance to try our top-tier gifting. For similar quality year-round, see our chocolate gift baskets.

Can I add a personal message to a Deal of the Day basket?

Yes, every order includes a free printed card message that you write at checkout, no extra charge. Whether the deal basket is heading to a colleague as a thank you or to a friend for their birthday, we'll include your personalized note tucked in with the basket. If you want inspiration for the note itself, our thank you gift baskets collection has plenty of gifting ideas.
