At My Baskets, making gift baskets is what we do. Creating stunning gift baskets for birthdays, anniversaries and holidays and sending them out to customers all over Canada. Once a year during the holidays, we have our annual tradition: everyone stops what they’re doing and makes one gift basket just for themselves.
Working at a gifting company during the holiday season is apt to make one feel an awful lot like one of Santa’s elves. You spend your day putting together the best luxury gift baskets for the holiday season. Gourmet gift baskets stuffed with Candy Cane Hot Chocolate and packed into baskets resembling miniature Sleighs or metallic red and gold bins bearing the words MERRY CHRISTMAS across the front. You work hard to ensure that every Christmas gift basket and unique holiday gift box goes out around the country in time for everyone’s seasonal celebration.
The phrase “kid in a candy store” is meant to describe a person surrounded by everything they could ever possibly want. Now imagine being an elf in Santa’s workshop, surrounded by mountains of toys and piles of candy and sweets, and your job is to give them all away. Bringing holiday cheer to others is a rewarding position, of course. But once all the presents have been sent off with couriers and loaded into shipping trucks (Santa’s sleigh can’t carry it all) the best reward is yet to be reaped.
The season was spent chatting with customers about the best gift baskets for their employees. It was filled with basket makers creating festive ribbons and bows to adorn gourmet holiday gifts for customers to send to their family and friends. And after a season of arranging and creating gifts for others to celebrate the holidays with, the employees of My Baskets were given a chance to make a different kind of basket; one for ourselves.
The joy and excitement of staring at a workroom full of cookies, chocolates, chips and other delicious snacks that now have the potential to be delicious snacks eaten by you, is pretty incredible. Whatever basket we chose, each employee was allowed to select the items that went into it and fill it with whatever we wanted. We were able to create the best luxury gift baskets however we saw fit.
Remember the kid in the candy store? This was us, a room of full-grown adults, gleefully filling baskets with gourmet chocolate and savoury crackers until, in some cases, our baskets were almost too heavy to lift.
Thinking about why gift baskets are such a universally beloved gift, the answer seems simple. Every unique gift basket and each luxury gift box set is a gift that’s actually many gifts. A present can be opened once, but when you open a gift basket you get to sort through it and discover every item it contains. Gift baskets have something for everyone.
I don't have feedback from the recipient yet, but the process to order the basket was simple and it arrived on time, as advertised. Communication from the company was terrific! When I didn't receive a delivery confirmation, I emailed to ask. I received same day communication (10pm on a Saturday) to let me know my basket was delivered. And then I received another email on Monday morning. Great service!
The basket was great and good value. This was my first order and I will be ordering again, and have already recommended your service. Thanks
Excellent customer service. Will definitely use again.
I ordered two baskets for Rush Hashana. I was so happy that they arrived on time.
I didn’t see the baskets but the receivers said that they were beautiful !
A couple of weeks ago I had cause to complain to Mybaskets about items substituted in a gift package. Initially too it seemed my complaint had been ignored as I heard nothing back.
I'm pleased to say Mybaskets has resolved the issue and restored my faith as a customer. Thankyou Mybaskets
Hello unfortunately the recipient has not received the gift. I had to file a claim with UPS as they stated it was delivered but again the basket did not arrive at his home, I was so excited for him to receive it as it had great reviews.

My closed ones had a smile on their face 😊 fantastic basket and beautiful flowers. Howevet not so happy with the delivery guy. I mean snarky comments should be avoided. If the reciepent mentioned keep it outside the door just keep it. May be they are running late or May be they have to pick up their kids. Life can happen.
The receiver loved it.
My friend, Rita, sent me a lovey basket of healthy treats to aid in my recovery after surgery, from your company. They did the trick! I’m on my way to healing and will be dancing about. Thank you.
I had a basket delivered to my brother- in - law for his 80 th Birthday and he was very happy to receive such a great basket.Thank you so much!
