Chinese New Year Gift Baskets Hand-Packed in Canada

Lunar New Year gifting runs wide. Sons and daughters sending baskets home to parents, in-laws greeting each other for the first family visit, colleagues acknowledging a Chinese-Canadian client's most important holiday of the year, and companies thanking a team that's been heads-down since Q4. A wine and cheese pairing suits the sit-down family dinner. A chocolate and truffle mix reads warmer for a friend or a young couple. For business gifting, the corporate gift baskets range scales cleanly across a client list without losing that hand-packed feel.

If you want to fine-tune what's inside, upgrade individual items by paying the price difference, add an extra bottle or box, or build your own basket from scratch. Sending across a wider holiday stretch? The lunar new year gift baskets collection pairs well for anyone marking the season with family in another province.

Common Questions

Chinese New Year Gift Basket FAQs

Are Chinese New Year gift baskets appropriate for both family and business gifting?

Yes, our Chinese New Year baskets work equally well for family, friends, and business relationships. The Gourmet Gifts hand-assembles each one with premium chocolates, wines, and gourmet treats that suit celebratory gatherings and formal client appreciation alike. If you're gifting to colleagues or clients, our thank you gift baskets pair beautifully as a follow-up gesture after the holiday.

What kinds of treats come in your Chinese New Year gift baskets?

Expect a mix of Belgian chocolates, truffles, artisan crackers, gourmet cheeses, and wine pairings, all personally taste-tested before we include them. The World's Finest Belgian Indulgence leans sweet with candy, chocolates, fudge and truffles, while the Perfect Pairings Gourmet Gift Basket pairs cheeses and crackers with liquor for a more savoury spread. Every basket is built by hand in our workshop, never factory-packed.

Do you offer same-day delivery in the GTA for Chinese New Year baskets?

Yes. The Gourmet Gifts offers same-day delivery in the GTA on orders placed before 4 PM ET, 7 days a week, including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, and Oakville. Your Chinese New Year basket is hand-packed the same morning and sent out with our own local delivery team, with live notifications as it's on its way. For a red-and-gold celebration piece, the Amanti Red & Cheese Indulgence is a fitting choice for the occasion.

Can I upgrade the wine in a Chinese New Year basket to something nicer?

Yes, you can upgrade the wine, champagne, or liquor in any basket to a higher-priced option by paying the price difference at checkout. Wine and spirits can only be upgraded, not removed, and an adult of legal drinking age with government-issued photo ID must sign for delivery. Alcohol delivery availability varies by region and is confirmed at checkout, and you can browse upgrade options in our wine gift baskets range.

Is it too late to order a Chinese New Year basket close to the date?

Probably not. GTA shoppers can place an order before 4 PM ET the day of and get same-day delivery through our local team, and everyone else can select next-business-day delivery at checkout. Baskets are assembled fresh the day they ship, so ordering close to the celebration still gets you something hand-packed rather than warehoused.

Do you ship Chinese New Year gift baskets to Vancouver and across Canada?

Yes, we ship Chinese New Year gift baskets nationwide via UPS, with next-business-day delivery available to select at checkout. From British Columbia to the Maritimes, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and Halifax, your basket is hand-packed the day it ships and a UPS tracking number is emailed the moment it leaves our workshop. If the recipient prefers something wine-forward, the wine and cheese gift baskets collection ships coast to coast as well (with adult signature and photo ID required for anything containing alcohol).

Can I include a personal message or card with the basket?

Yes, every order includes a free printed card message that you type in at checkout, whether it's a Lunar New Year greeting in English, Mandarin, or Cantonese. We print it on a quality card and tuck it into the basket before it ships. Pair the message with something like the Luxurious Red Wine & Savory Treats for a warm, celebratory delivery.

What if I want to send Chinese New Year baskets to a whole team of employees?

The Gourmet Gifts handles multi-recipient Lunar New Year gifting through a bulk order form you can grab from our site, jot in each recipient's address and message, and send back to the team, we'll take it from there. It's how a lot of corporate clients across Canada handle year-end and Lunar New Year lists for staff and clients. You can download it from our bulk order form page and reach out with any questions on branding or timing.
