1. Canada In A Basket

Address: 55 Byward Market Square
Contact: (613) 241-2088 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Wednesday, 8:30 AM – 7:00 PM | Thursday, 8:30 AM – 8:00 PM | Friday, 8:30 AM – 8:30 PM | Saturday, 8:30 AM – 8:00 PM | Sunday, 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Giving a local gift is always a great way to impress clients or treat friends, and Canada In A Basket really nails it with their all-Canadian products. Everything they offer is 100% Canadian-made, which makes your gift feel super special.
They also have fun themes, like Seafood Symphony or BBQ Lovers, for anyone with specific tastes.
Someone we spoke to actually bought their maple-themed box for a coworker, and said the quality of the syrups totally blew them away.
You get to build your own custom basket too, picking out items by province and favourite suppliers. With this, you’ll have full control over the style and mood of your gift.
The only small hassle is you have to call for a local delivery quote, which makes checkout just a bit less smooth.

This store did hit the spot
I was looking for the perfect gift basket and let me tell you, this store did hit the spot! Especially last minute gift idea.. Matt was an angel, he told me all my options (even picking my own stuffs) and he proceeded to wrap it up graciously. I’m definitely going back there for all my events, hopefully I get to be served by Matt each time.. Easily 5 stars 🔥

2. Made In Canada Gifts
Website:https://www.madeincanadagifts.ca/
Address: 50 Rideau St.
Contact: 613-729-6378 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Saturday, 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM | Sunday, 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Finding a store that also supports local Canadian makers can be a bit tough, but Made In Canada Gifts makes it super easy.
They only carry Canadian-made products and even won a Retail Council of Canada Ambassador Award for their support of local communities.
You can pick out huge hampers that include goodies from different provinces, like spreads from Newfoundland or smoked salmon from British Columbia.
Their selection fits lots of budgets too, with boxes starting as low as $105 and going up to really impressive jumbo baskets at $269. It’s really easy to mix things up with both food and personalized home decor.
But keep in mind that there are no returns on food items and same-day delivery isn’t always guaranteed, so you’ll want to call ahead if you’re in a big hurry.

3. Edible Arrangements
Website:https://www.ediblearrangements.ca/
Address: 240 Bank Street, Unit 101
Contact: 613-237-0100
Hours: Monday-Saturday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Sunday, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Edible Arrangements brings a unique twist to gift baskets by turning fresh fruit into bouquets that look just like gorgeous flower arrangements. This is a fantastic choice if you want your gift to be both healthy and eye-catching for a special event.
Everything is made fresh locally, not shipped from far away, so you know you’re getting top quality. Someone who ordered a pineapple daisy bouquet for a friend said the fruit was super crisp and sweet, which made their day.
If you need something last minute, they even offer same-day delivery when you order before 5 p.m. during the week.
But keep in mind that they only offer edible gifts, so you won’t find keepsakes. Also, you have to be careful with severe food allergies since there’s a chance of cross-contact.

This was by far the best Mother’s Day gift I ever gave her
I order a large edible arrangement from Florida for my Mom in Richmond at around 5:pm and they were delivered that evening. Mom is 91 she doesn’t need anything but she was absolutely overjoyed with it and was so proud and happy to be able to show it off and share it with all my brothers & sisters today that came over. This was by far the best Mother’s Day gift I ever gave her. Absolutely delicious too. Thank you so much.

4. Crafted By Noor Inc
Website:https://www.craftedbynoor.com/
Areas Served: Ottawa
Contact: [email protected] | 613-800-2400
Hours: Monday-Thursday, 9:30 AM – 8:00 PM | Friday, 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM | Saturday, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM | Sunday, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Sometimes, a typical wicker basket just doesn’t set the right vibe for a festive occasion. That’s where Crafted By Noor Inc really stands out, offering amazing balloon-based hamper alternatives and creative cultural collections.
They go all out with special setups for Ramadan and even have a heartfelt Palestine collection. You can add a personalized floral balloon basket as a fun centrepiece, maybe on that coffee table you scored at one of the best furniture stores in the city.
However, it’s worth noting that custom orders need around three to five days to process, so you’ll want to plan. Also, their delivery covers only a strict 50-kilometre radius around Ottawa.
Customer Reviews
Everything was done very well
My childhood best friend graduated from university and I wanted to gift her something special. Crafted by Noor made that easy for me! I found exactly what I was looking for and she loved it! Everything was done very well and the quality was amazing. The customer service was exceptional and Noor is very personable and nice. She even added a greeting card to include a message from me (which was a nice surprise)! Will definitely use the service again for future events 😊

I would definitely be coming back
I had picked up a custom Balloon basket gift set with a bear and I can definitely say she did an amazing job! I was very last minute, placed an order in the evening and she had it ready for me in less than an hour, looking exactly how I wanted it if not better! I would definitely be coming back and would recommend to anyone looking to get a special someone something to remember!

5. Jacobsons
Website:http://www.jacobsons.ca/
Address: 103 Beechwood Ave.
Contact: 613-746-6002 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Tuesday, Saturday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Wednesday-Friday, 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM | Sunday, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Nothing screams luxury like a big block of premium artisan cheese paired with fancy crackers. Jacobsons knows how to deliver on this craving, focusing on warmth and family hospitality.
You can pick from beautifully themed culinary boxes, like the popular Aperitivo Gift Box. The best part is that they cut their cheeses to order, so everything is always fresh.
They’ve been serving Ottawa for over 15 years, and they really understand what food lovers want.
Curbside pickup is super simple, though there’s a small packaging and processing fee to keep in mind. Their fresh cheeses are only available for local Ottawa delivery too.
Lastly, the selection is very food-focused, so you won’t find keepsakes or non-food souvenirs here.
Customer Reviews
