There’s a novelty associated with having a personalized gift delivered right to your door marked with your name on it. Whether you’re sending a gift to a friend or family member you won’t have the chance to see in person this holiday season, or you’re just looking for a unique gift to make someone feel extra special, sending a gift basket is a great option.

There are so many talented gift basket artists operating in York Region putting their own flair on the traditional gift basket. Here are some of the makers pushing the boundaries with their local gift basket businesses:

Blushin’ Gifts

This team of leading ladies is giving traditional gift baskets a face lift. Their brand is built off the motto that “the perfect gift is different for everyone,” allowing customers to curate fully customized boxes for their recipient(s). From bridesmaid proposal boxes to health and wellness boxes, the premise is simple: choose from a selection of aesthetically combined pre-made boxes or make one yourself in just three easy steps. Their holiday collection features an assortment of festive-themed boxes for both him and her, including our personal fav, the “Midnight Holiday” moscow mule gift set.

Their range of holiday baskets are perfect for so many gift giving possibilities, from employee/client gifts to jaw-dropping baskets with “all the bells and whistles.”. For the holidays, our pick is the “Seasons Greetings Christmas Sleigh,” that leaves your recipient with an adorable holiday decoration once the treats are done!
