Behind the Basket: How Baskits Curates the Best of Canada
2025 Jun 23rd
At Baskits, we believe a gift should tell a story—one that reflects the values of quality, community, and creativity. That’s why we’re proud to source from some of the finest Canadian artisans and brands, turning each basket into a tribute to the heart of Canadian craftsmanship.
Our commitment to local sourcing is more than a trend; it’s a celebration of Canada’s incredible makers. From small-batch food producers to boutique wellness brands, we go beyond the big names to discover products that are deeply rooted in their communities. By supporting homegrown talent, we’re not only offering gifts of exceptional quality—we’re also giving back to the places that inspire us most.
Whether it’s handcrafted shortbread from Mary Macleod’s or smooth maple syrup from the forests of Ontario, each element in our baskets is chosen to honour the spirit of Canada.
The Art of Curating Unique Gift Baskets
Curating a meaningful gift basket takes more than good taste—it takes vision, purpose, and care. At Baskits, we start with a simple question: What experience do we want the recipient to have?
From there, our expert team thoughtfully selects items that complement one another in flavour, theme, and presentation. Every detail matters, from the texture of a cozy throw to the aroma of fresh-ground coffee. We pair savoury and sweet, classic and modern, indulgent and practical, ensuring there’s a little surprise in every unwrapping.
We also consider the moments our baskets are meant to celebrate—whether it’s a birthday, a housewarming, or simply a thoughtful “just because” gesture. With that in mind, we design each collection to reflect a genuine sense of occasion.
Celebrating Canada’s Finest: Signature Products
Our Canadian gourmet collection featured here showcases the very best of local excellence. Each item is carefully chosen not only for its flavour or design, but for the values it represents: sustainability, heritage, and innovation.
A few standout items include:
- Dabble & Drizzle truffles and buttery cookies, handmade in small batches using premium ingredients
- Crackle & Pop popcorn and chips, combining nostalgic flavours with a modern twist
- Slice of Canada maple syrup and preserves, bottled straight from Canadian maple forests
- Mary Macleod’s iconic shortbread, baked to perfection using the original 1981 recipe
These products aren’t just crowd-pleasers—they’re part of Canada’s culinary identity. By including them in our gift baskets, we offer a taste of home to Canadians and a warm introduction to newcomers.
