What makes our gifts different

The details that turn a basket into a gift worth remembering.

Real wine and spirits

Many of our baskets include real wine, champagne, and craft spirits, curated to the recipient and the occasion.

Handcrafted, not packed

Every basket is hand-assembled to order — nothing sits pre-built on a shelf.

Canadian-sourced

Chocolates, preserves, snacks, and pantry items come from Canadian artisan producers wherever possible.

Same-day in the GTA

Order by our daily cutoff for same-day delivery across the Greater Toronto Area, next-day across Canada, and cross-border shipping to the U.S.

We make it right

If something isn't right with your order, reach out and we'll take care of it.

Gift guide questions, answered

How do I choose the right gift basket?

Start with the occasion and the recipient. Use the guides above to narrow by occasion (birthday, sympathy, corporate), by recipient (for him, for her, new parents), or by theme (food and wine, seasonal). If you're still unsure, our "Gift advice by situation" section points you to the right collection in one tap, or contact us and we'll recommend something.

Can the gift baskets include real wine or spirits?

Yes. Many of our baskets include real wine, champagne, whisky, and craft spirits, curated to the recipient and the occasion. Baskets containing alcohol ship under applicable provincial and cross-border regulations.

Do you offer same-day delivery?

Same-day delivery is available throughout the Greater Toronto Area when you order before our daily cutoff, with next-day delivery across the rest of Canada and cross-border shipping to select U.S. markets.

Can you handle large corporate or bulk orders?

Absolutely. Our corporate concierge handles branded baskets, bulk orders, employee recognition, and custom client-appreciation programs. Reach the team at corporate@thegourmetgifts.ca and we'll build a program around your budget and timeline.

Do you have gifts for smaller budgets?

Yes. We curate thoughtful options at every price point, including a budget-friendly selection and weekly deals. The "I'm on a budget" situation tile and our under-$100 popular guide are the fastest way to find them.

Can I personalize a gift or add a message?

Most baskets can include a personalized gift message at checkout, and we offer custom and build-your-own options across several collections. For fully bespoke gifts, contact us before ordering and we'll tailor the contents.

Where do you ship?

We ship to every province in Canada and to select markets in the United States, with same-day delivery across the Greater Toronto Area and next-day delivery across the rest of Canada.

What if I still can't decide?

Reach out to hello@thegourmetgifts.ca and tell us the occasion, recipient, and budget. Our gifting team responds within one business day with a curated recommendation, often the same day for time-sensitive gifts.
