2025 Jun 22nd

Gourmet gifting isn’t just about food—it’s about creating a moment of joy, surprise, and lasting connection. At Baskits, we’ve elevated the art of giving by designing gourmet baskets that are more than treats. They’re celebrations of Canadian craftsmanship, refined taste, and thoughtful presentation. Whether you’re recognising a milestone, showing appreciation, or simply sending a heartfelt gesture, our gourmet baskets deliver an experience that speaks volumes.

From savoury snacks to sweet indulgences, every item we include is carefully chosen for its quality, taste, and ability to make someone’s day. With a focus on sourcing from top Canadian brands and beloved international names, we’ve crafted gourmet baskets that feel personal, purposeful, and truly unforgettable.

The Heart of Every Gourmet Basket

Each gourmet basket we offer is thoughtfully curated to include a blend of premium food items that satisfy a range of palates. We believe in offering more than just snacks—we craft a full sensory experience.

  • Handcrafted truffles and chocolates from Dabble & Drizzle
  • Buttery shortbread cookies from Mary Macleod’s
  • Sweet and savoury popcorn from Crackle & Pop
  • Creamy Castello Brie cheese paired with fig and walnut preserves

The variety is intentional. We aim to offer a rich combination of textures and flavours—perfect for enjoying solo or sharing with others.

Sweets, Snacks, and Canadian Delights

Baskits is proud to champion Canadian-made products in many of our gourmet offerings. These locally made treats bring a touch of homegrown flavour to every basket and showcase the best in Canadian food artisanship.

  • Mimi & Liloo chocolate bars, tea blends, and covered biscuits
  • Gourmet almonds with maple, chilli, or café-latte coatings
  • Savoury puffed snacks and premium nut blends
  • Small-batch jams and artisanal preserves for cheese pairing

These thoughtful selections bring comfort, indulgence, and a bit of discovery with every bite.

Artisan Beverages to Match

No gourmet experience is complete without a beverage pairing. That’s why we complement our food offerings with premium drinks that enhance the gifting moment.

  • Hatch Coffee Roasters’ premium beans for bold, balanced flavour
  • Loose-leaf and bagged teas in comforting blends
  • Alcohol-free sparkling beverages for inclusive gifting
  • Optional champagne or wine baskets for celebrations

Whether your recipient prefers a cozy cup of tea or a celebratory toast, our beverage offerings help set the tone.

More Than a Gift—A Lasting Impression

There’s something timeless about the moment a gift basket is opened. We’ve seen it unfold again and again—a parent receiving a gourmet basket on their doorstep, smiling as they discover a favourite cookie from their childhood. Or a colleague, overwhelmed during a busy workweek, pausing to sip fresh-brewed coffee and unwrap a piece of shortbread, feeling seen and appreciated. These aren’t just treats; they’re tangible reminders of connection. At Baskits, we believe every product inside our gourmet baskets carries that same intention—to spark joy, bring comfort, and remind people that they matter.

Perfect for Every Occasion

Our gourmet baskets are versatile and well-suited for a wide range of personal and professional moments. Whether you're celebrating or comforting, there's a basket fit for the occasion.

  • Corporate milestones: Recognize promotions, client relationships, or employee appreciation
  • Birthday and anniversary gifts: Add a luxurious and delicious twist to their special day
  • Housewarming or thank-you gifts: Ideal for new homeowners, helpful neighbours, or thoughtful hosts
  • Holiday and seasonal giving: Send festive cheer with beautifully wrapped gourmet selections

With each gift, we strive to create a lasting impression that reflects care, style, and generosity.

Thoughtful Options for Every Diet

We understand that thoughtful gifting means being inclusive of dietary needs. That’s why many of our gourmet baskets can be customized or selected with specific lifestyles in mind.

  • Vegan options with plant-based chocolate, nut mixes, and cookies
  • Gluten-free selections for those with dietary restrictions
  • Kosher gourmet baskets that meet traditional guidelines
  • Nut-free baskets for allergy-friendly gifting

Each variation still upholds the Baskits standard of quality, taste, and presentation, so no one has to miss out on the gourmet experience.
