CUSTOM GIFT baskets

We create curated gifts to suit every occasion — seasonal, thank-yous, acknowledgements, staff and client gifts, realtor closing gifts, teacher presents, and anything else that deserves celebrating. Choose your budget, your theme, and let us do the rest — or contact us for a consultation. If you prefer to be more hands-on, you can come and fill a cart with your selection of goodies, and we will happily package them in a bag, basket, or box.

We can deliver gift baskets within Calgary – and, if you are looking to share some fabulous delights with friends who live elsewhere, we can arrange for shipping across Canada!
