INDIVIDUAL CUSTOM GIFT BASKETS
We have the gift baskets Calgary loves! We create curated gifts to suit every occasion — seasonal, thank-yous, acknowledgments, staff and client gifts, realtor closing gifts, teacher presents, and anything else that deserves celebrating. Choose your budget, and your theme, and let us do the rest — or contact us for a consultation. Are you thinking about customizing a gift basket? 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 or basket. Together we will create a gift basket that is sure to please!
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!
