Our Story

The search of 'Premium yet Affordable' gifting options

Baskets and Beyond Founder

In some way, Baskets and Beyond has been in the making since I was a little girl. I remember myself as a 7-8 year old, pouring my heart into creating baskets for my mother on every special occasion. These were simple, innocent baskets filled with small treasures like chalk, crayons, pre-owned claw clips, and sometimes a sweet treat. Each basket had a hand-written note, all with the goal of putting a smile on my mother's face.

This love for crafting gifts grew with me and bloomed into my love life. I continued to make baskets for my partner, including a special "25 gifts for the 25th birthday" basket that he still cherishes to this day. As I found myself creating more and more baskets for friends, family and loved ones, my partner recognized my innate skill and motivated me turn this passion of mine into a profession.

However I didn't want to create just another run of the mill gift baskets company. I wanted it to be different, something that truly touched people's lives. Thus I set on the mission to learn what people really wanted. I very quickly realized that there were myriad number of gifting companies - but none that were premium yet truly affordable. A large number of Canadians want access to thoughtfully curated gift baskets, but without breaking the bank. 

And so, with my beautiful 2-year-old daughter by my side, we handpick every item with care to create the most 'Premium yet Affordable' gift baskets. Baskets and Beyond is not just a startup, it's my sanctuary, where I pour my heart and soul into bringing joy and happiness to your lives.

Come to Baskets and Beyond for the most lovingly crafted gift baskets that will brighten your loved ones' day.
