Alcohol Gift Baskets

4.9 / 5.0 · 597 verified reviews

Alcohol gift baskets set a bottle of whiskey, gin, or vodka beside the savoury food you'd actually want with it: salted almonds, artisan crackers, aged cheese, pretzels, and a good sauce. They go out to bosses, fathers-in-law, clients who just signed, and friends who've earned a proper pour. Each one is hand-assembled by our team before it heads out to an address anywhere in Canada.

Spirits Baskets for the People Who Are Hard to Shop For

The guy who insists he doesn't need anything still says yes to Irish whiskey with cheese and crackers. That's most of who shops this page: birthday gift baskets for him when a tie won't do, retirement send-offs, Father's Day, a housewarming the hosts will crack open that same night. On the business side, spirits do the heavy lifting for client appreciation gift baskets and for congratulations gift baskets after a deal closes or a promotion lands.

One bit of etiquette worth following. Check that your recipient drinks, and think about the household it's landing in. A gin or vodka basket with cheese and crackers reads like a shared celebration rather than a solo nightcap.

Common Questions

Alcohol Gift Basket FAQs

What if I'm not sure which spirit the recipient actually drinks?

Pick the basket around the food and the occasion, and the bottle becomes the bonus rather than the gamble. Sets like the Gracious Vodka & Savory Delights and the Gin Lover's Gourmet Gift Basket pair their bottle with almonds, crackers, wafers, cheeses and sauce, so there's plenty to enjoy even if the spirit isn't their usual pour. If you know they lean toward brown spirits, our whiskey gift baskets are the safer bet, and every product in them has been personally taste-tested by our team before it goes in.

Can I get an alcohol gift basket delivered same-day in Toronto?

Yes. The Gourmet Gifts offers same-day delivery in the GTA on orders placed before 4 PM ET, 7 days a week, covering Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Oakville and the surrounding suburbs. Spirits baskets are hand-packed the same morning by our own team and carried by our local delivery van, so you'll get live notifications as the basket is on its way. One thing to plan for with any basket containing alcohol: an adult of legal drinking age has to be there to receive it, with government-issued photo ID and a signature at the door. You'll find the same same-day option on our liquor gift baskets as well.

Can I upgrade the bottle in one of these baskets to something nicer?

Yes, you can upgrade individual items, including the bottle, to a higher-priced option by paying the difference, and you can add extras on top. Bottles can't be removed from a set, so if you want a completely different lineup the cleanest route is to build your own basket and handpick every item from scratch. There's no minimum order for either option.

Is an alcohol gift basket appropriate for a business or client gift?

It works well when you know the recipient drinks and the relationship is established, which is why spirits sets are a regular pick for client thank-yous and senior team recognition. The Gourmet Gifts works with companies across Canada on corporate gift baskets, including custom packaging and branding. If you're unsure about a recipient's preferences or company policy, a gourmet set without a bottle is the lower-risk choice.

Do you ship alcohol gift baskets to Vancouver, Calgary or Halifax?

The Gourmet Gifts ships across Canada via UPS, with next-business-day delivery available to select at checkout, from British Columbia and Alberta through Quebec and the Maritimes. Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Halifax are all regular destinations, and a UPS tracking number is sent the moment your basket leaves us. Alcohol delivery availability does vary by region and is confirmed at checkout, and an adult of legal drinking age with photo ID needs to sign for the delivery. Our wine gift baskets ship the same way.

Is there a non-alcoholic option if I'd rather not send a bottle?

Absolutely. Our gourmet gift baskets carry the same artisan crackers, cheeses, sauces, nuts and sweets without any bottle, which makes them the easy call when you're not certain the recipient drinks. They're hand-assembled the day they ship, same as every alcohol basket on this page.

What am I actually paying for at the higher price points in this collection?

The bottle is the biggest part of it, and the rest goes into premium artisan pairings rather than mass-market filler. The 8-Year Reserve Set, for example, brings an aged pour together with crackers and pretzels in a presentation box that's built by hand, never factory-packed. With over 14,000 five-star reviews behind us, presentation is the part customers comment on most when the gift is opened.

Is a bottle-based basket a good anniversary or milestone celebration gift?

It's one of the better ones, because a shared bottle and a spread of savoury snacks turns into an evening rather than another object on a shelf. Redbreast sets and gin pairings land especially well for anniversaries, promotions and retirements. If you'd like something built more specifically around a couple, our anniversary gift baskets are worth a look, and every order includes a free printed card message so your note arrives with the gift.

Can you send a gift basket with alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol is only sold as part of a gift basket and never on its own, so wine, beer, champagne and spirits appear inside curated baskets rather than as standalone bottles.

Do you handle corporate gifting?

Yes, end to end. Tell us who you are gifting, how many and when it has to land, and we come back with a curated proposal, volume pricing and a delivery plan for one address or a full recipient list.

Where do you deliver gift baskets?

We deliver gift baskets across Canada. Same-day delivery is available in Toronto and the GTA on eligible orders, and every other province is served by our courier partners. You can check your own town on the delivery page.

Can I include a personal message?

Yes. There is a field at checkout for the message that goes on the card with the gift, and on bulk orders you can write a different message for every recipient.
