Asked often

A few things worth knowing

Will the recipient see the price?

No. Prices and receipts are never included on or with the gift. The invoice goes only to the email address used to place the order.

Can I add my own item to a basket?

Yes, for $15 per basket. Send us the item with your order number and we will unwrap the basket, build it in and wrap it again with fresh cellophane and ribbon.

Get in touch before your order ships so we can hold it. Anything attached outside the basket, such as a card, is done at no charge.

Talk to us first

How do I send baskets to several people at once?

Checkout works out shipping for one basket by default, so orders going to more than one address are handled by our team.

Send us the recipient list with addresses and card messages. We confirm the delivery plan and any extra shipping before anything is charged, and we can keep the list on file for next year.

  • One form covers every recipient
  • A different card message per person
  • One invoice for the whole order

How bulk orders work

Answers

Popular questions

Who are The Gourmet Gifts?

A Canadian, woman-owned gift basket company and a certified Women's Business Enterprise. We curate and hand-pack every basket ourselves rather than drop-shipping them, which is why we can change what goes inside one.

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.

Browse baskets with alcohol
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.

See where we deliver
Can I include a personal message?

Yes. Write your card message on the product page before you add the basket to your cart. On bulk orders you can write a different message for every recipient.

Can I change my order after placing it?

Contact us straight away by phone or email. Orders are marked as processed within about ten minutes of payment and sent to production, so a change cannot be promised. During holiday periods we need at least seven days notice to change an order.

Contact us
What payment methods do you accept?

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB and PayPal. The icons at the bottom of any page show exactly what is accepted right now.

What is your refund policy?

Once payment is submitted we do not issue refunds. Baskets are assembled to order and go into production within minutes, and food cannot be resold. If a gift arrives damaged, wrong or in poor condition, tell us within 24 hours and we will put it right.

Read the refund policy
How are you rated?

4.8 out of 5 from more than 14,000 reviews collected by Judge.me after delivery. Reviews are published as they are written, including the critical ones, so you can read the complaints as well as the praise.

Read the reviews
Is there an age requirement for baskets containing alcohol?

Yes. By ordering a basket that contains alcohol you confirm you are at least 19 years old. Age can be checked when the order is placed and again by the courier at delivery, so send it to someone who can show identification.
