Best Gift Baskets Toronto
At Edible Promotions Inc. we have created hundreds of gift baskets since we opened in 2012. We know it is joyful to gift a basket to a special client, friend or family member; and it is equally joyful to receive a basket from someone special. Our goal is to always create a basket that reflects our client’s wishes and to exceed their expectations.
Gift baskets are personal gifts extending our best wishes and are often used to impress the receiver. It is important that the message be represented in the look and contents of the gift basket. Many of our current clients came to use our services because they once received one of our baskets themselves. We truly want to SHOW YOUR GOOD TASTE as our tagline says whether we are providing a gift box, gift basket, or an individual event handout.
Gift baskets are big business in Canada and can be quite varied in price, product type, size and shape, as well as theme. Most major retailers in the food industry also offer seasonal baskets to their customers. We are fortunate in Canada to have many cheese shops, bakeries, maple syrup producers, farm market vendors, and breweries. These specialty businesses offer their local products as well as the benefit of knowledge of their ingredient supply and their own distinct flavours.
We are pleased to offer our GRAND RIVER TEA and APPLE FLATS cocktail mixes as suppliers for Edible Promotions Inc. Collaborating with other small businesses is especially important for our local economy, and it ensures that our own custom chocolate products reach a larger market. We support each other and all of our clients benefit.
We are also environmentally aware at Edible Promotions Inc. as we purchase discontinued lots of baskets and ceramic containers. This adds cost savings that we can pass on to our clients. We also find recycled rolls of ribbon and ornaments that reduce waste to our landfills. Left over party favours often become cute pop by gifts.
At Edible Promotions Inc. we use a variety of basket containers from metal tins, wooden planter boxes, cloth bags, wicker baskets, and plastic and ceramic pots. People seem to prefer to gift a container that the receiver can then use again in their home or business.
Baskets from Edible Promotions Inc. are most commonly used as client and employee gifts along with door prizes and fundraising items.
We have recently been making more personal baskets for birthdays, anniversaries, and wedding gifts as the pandemic has made shopping in stores a possible health risk .
We have shipped out many gift boxes for personal and business related gifting to help our clients shop safely from home.
When it comes to making a gift basket, quality and appearance are very important. Size makes a big impression along with other considerations. The creative process includes placing items securely in place with glue dots in the proper spot to coordinate colour and balance in the basket. It is a good idea to eliminate any strong scented items especially with food items in the basket.
Price of the products included is a big consideration especially if working within a client`s budget. Buying in bulk, on sale, and negotiating wholesale pricing with suppliers helps keep costs in check. Knowing the likes and dislikes , the age, and the gifting purpose is important as well.
The elderly and small children may have safety needs to consider. A basket for a client should be accompanied by a note and a business card telling the client why they are special. If the basket contains a bottle of wine and glasses, be sure that the client is open to receiving alcohol. If in doubt, you can add a bottle of dealcoholized beverage.
Here are a few basket themes and some items to consider including in the basket:
Travel Gift Basket You can include a hairbrush, some 100 mL travel bottles , a sleep mask, a neck pillow , sunscreen and a hat, a puzzle book, and our favourite chocolate airplane.
