Put your product in our baskets

We build gift baskets around products we would send ourselves. If you make something that belongs in one, we would like to taste it.

Read what we look for before you send samples. Most of it comes down to volume, shelf life and whether you can supply us through a full gifting year.

Why partner with us

What you get out of it

We are a small buying team, so a yes means a real working relationship rather than a listing.

A customer base that buys premium

Our baskets go to households and businesses who are buying a gift rather than a bargain, so products are chosen on quality rather than price.

Your product, presented properly

Everything is hand-packed. Your item is arranged, wrapped and presented as part of a gift, not dropped into a carton.

Named where it counts

Suppliers are credited in the basket contents and in the marketing that goes with them, so the people who enjoy your product can find you.

What we look for

The criteria, before you send anything

These are the conditions a product has to meet to be considered. Worth reading first: it saves you posting samples that we cannot take on.

Supplier requirements for The Gourmet Gifts.
RequirementWhat we needWhenWhy we ask
Wholesale pricing RequiredPrice list with your samplesSend your standard wholesale list. Tell us the discount off MSRP you can hold at volume.
Shelf life 4 months minimumFrom the date we receive stockBaskets are built ahead of peak season, so short-dated stock cannot be used.
Volume 1,000+ units per SKUOn the SKUs we selectWe need to know you can repeat an order, not just fill the first one.
Availability October to OctoberFor the selected yearA basket runs a full gifting year. A SKU that disappears mid-year breaks the range.
Exclusivity in the GTA RequiredWhile we carry the SKUWe do not stock products supplied to other gift basket companies in the Greater Toronto Area.

Meeting all five does not guarantee a listing, and we cannot review every submission individually. If your product fits the range we will be in touch.

What to send

How the process works

Send samples whenever you are ready. There is no window and no fee.

Send samples

A few samples of each product you would like us to consider. Pick your best sellers and anything you think suits a gift basket.

Any time of year

Include your numbers

Wholesale price list, lead time for ordering, and the contact details of whoever handles trade accounts.

In the box

We taste and assess

We look at the product itself, how it presents in a basket, and whether it meets the five criteria above.

After it arrives

We come back to you

If it fits the range we will contact you about pricing and a first order. Samples are not returned.

If there is a fit

Before you apply

Questions suppliers ask

Where do I send samples?

Fill in the form below and we will reply with the shipping address and the name to mark them for.

Sending the form first means your samples arrive with a file already open, rather than as an unexplained box.

Do you pay for samples?

No. Samples are sent at your own cost and are not returned.

We taste and assess everything that arrives, including products we end up not taking on.

What if I cannot meet the volume yet?

Tell us anyway, in the message field, with the volume you can hold today.

The thresholds are what we need for a listing in the main range. Smaller producers sometimes fit a limited or seasonal basket instead.

Not sure your product fits?

Send the form with what you make and the volume you can hold. We would rather see it and say no than miss something good.
