We found Dazzle Basket to be a breath of fresh air for anyone who needs a quick, high-quality gift in Calgary. They’re known for offering same-day and weekend deliveries, a game-changer for those last-minute “I forgot a birthday” moments. 

The real beauty of Dazzle is the variety—over a thousand products to choose from, with themed baskets ranging from spa indulgences to gourmet snacks and wines. 

Their website’s “shop by price” feature is also noteworthy, categorizing items from under $100 to luxury options exceeding $250. This makes it easy to find a thoughtful gift without feeling overwhelmed, whether you’re looking to splurge or stay within a budget.

We also love the range of payment options available, from credit cards to Apple Pay, which adds to the convenience. 

The only catch is their $15 delivery fee within Calgary, which may make you think twice if you’re on a tight budget. But if you’re after fast, flexible service with great variety, Dazzle Basket really delivers.

Excellent same-day order service

“I contacted Dazzle Basket for a same-day order and was happy to hear the basket I was eyeing on their site was available for pickup within a few hours! The basket was arranged so beautifully with carefully selected items of high quality. The birthday girl this basket was for was really impressed and pleased with her gift. We are looking forward to ordering again with Dazzle Basket!”

Great with corporate requests 

“Ordered 25 baskets for corporate promotion. We have used other providers in the past, however Dazzle Basket provided a far superior ordering process and products. They were prompt, professional, and accommodated all our needs within a reasonable budget. Very impressed folks (sorry! we were sneaky and ask your team to deliver to a person who going to review your basket). Please keep up the great work, we hope to use your services in the future!”

The Gift Designers in Calgary has an impressively diverse selection, covering everything from kid-friendly baskets with chocolates and toys to more refined options with snacks, cheese, coffee, and wine. 

From what we’ve seen, customization is their skill. You can add personal touches to make the basket just right, or if you’re pressed for time, they’ve got well-crafted pre-made themes that take the guesswork out of choosing.

We also appreciate that they back their products with a satisfaction guarantee. While custom gifts aren’t eligible for exchanges, they’ll issue in-house credits or replacements on pre-designed themes, so you know they stand by their work. 

It’s also neat that for bulk or last-minute orders, The Gift Designers makes the process smooth, offering options for quick pickups and pre-prepared baskets ready to go. 

Just keep in mind that they’re closed on weekends, so planning ahead is key. And while the $16 flat delivery fee could be a downside, the quality and customization make this a go-to choice for meaningful, well-presented gifts.

Beautifully packaged 

“My friend gifted me a basket for my baby shower full of bath time essentials and I love it! It has high quality, good brands and a nice mix of products. Plus it was packaged so beautifully. I can’t wait to use it all during bath time once baby arrives. Based on this gift, I would definitely check them out in the future for my own gift purchasing!

Accommodating and budget-friendly 

“I had a lovely experience with this company!! The staff were friendly and so easy to work with! I ordered a sympathy gift basket for a friend that had some modifications, not only were they quick to accommodate my request but they also made it fit within the budget AND worked to deliver it the next day. Thank you so much for everything!! I will definitely be ordering from here again!!”

Maggie’s Gift Baskets has carved out a niche for itself by featuring local Calgary goods. This makes them a great pick if you’re looking to support local businesses and charities, and they’re usually on the high-quality side.

We noted how they put a lot of thought into their collections, with options ranging from corporate gift baskets (large/bulk orders) to charcuterie sets and everything in between. 

And kudos to their customer service, especially with their accommodating team that’s known to handle specific requests or even unusual ideas for personalizing a gift. 

For those on a budget, Maggie’s may be a bit pricier than some alternatives, as most of their options start over $100. They do have a few spa options under that mark, but food and wine baskets generally lean toward the higher end. 

Nonetheless, their attention to quality and commitment to local products make Maggie’s a top pick for unique, high-quality gifts with a Calgary flair.

Happy recipient 

“I live in Portugal and ordered a personalized birthday basket to be delivered to Calgary. The beautiful basket arrived on the specified day and the recipient was very happy with the gift. I am grateful to the team who answered all my questions. I will definitely order again in the future. I definitely recommend Maggie’s Gift.”

Accommodating and receptive to strange ideas

“I have nothing but praise for Maggie’s Gift Baskets. Their baskets are always stunning and we get great feedback from our clients who receive the baskets. They are super accommodating and receptive to strange ideas/requests from us! It has been a pleasure working with them and I look forward to many more opportunities.”

BB Basket has a strong commitment to supporting local businesses. They go out of their way to source from local companies, so their baskets have a personal touch that stands out, especially if you’re gifting to clients who’ll appreciate something local. 

We noticed that their packaging is a nice bonus, and it’s clear they put care into every detail, making sure each gift looks amazing when it arrives. 

It’s also worth mentioning that they have gluten-free and fruit basket options, which makes finding a suitable gift for different dietary needs easy.

Another plus is their 7-day return policy on shelf-stable items, offering some peace of mind if you need a return or exchange. Delivery fees start at $15, a standard for Calgary, but it can add up if you’re shipping multiple baskets. 

It’s a bummer that they’re closed on Sundays, but if you’re looking for beautifully presented baskets that support Calgary’s local businesses, BB Basket is a solid choice.

Unique and customizable baskets

“If you are looking for something unique, this is the place for you. They have loads of candies and tasty treats. And many unique and customizable gift ideas. Topped off with friendly staff.”

Helpful and thoughtful

“From the first interaction to the final delivery, these folks were the best.  Genny was helpful and thoughtful with great suggestions for the basket.  The basket itself was awesome.”

A Basket Case is a charming choice for gift baskets in Calgary, with a wide selection of locally-made items perfect for various occasions, from baby showers to “just because” gifts. 

Their free next-day delivery within Calgary is a huge perk—just order by 9 p.m. the night before, and you’re all set. It’s rare to find that level of convenience without an extra charge, so it’s definitely a highlight.

We also appreciate their 7-day return policy for damaged items; they’re quick to replace or issue a credit, which makes the whole experience feel more secure. 

Their attention to detail stands out, too, with stories of them reaching out to confirm gift messages if something is missed. 

On the flip side, their pricing does tend to run a bit high (especially for food or treat baskets, which usually start over $100), but the quality and customer care make it feel worth it. Overall, for local, quality baskets and attentive service, A Basket Case is a Calgary gem.

Quick delivery

“What a great service!  Very quick, delivered exactly as promised.  When I forgot to include a gift message they contacted me asking if I wanted one.  I love the personal service.  The hamper was a hit!  My mum was thrilled with all of it.  Thank you.  I’ll be back.”

Patient and responsive

“Our corporate order arrived today and we are super pleased!  Throughout the selection process Shayla was very patient and responsive.  The baskets themselves are stunning, they were thoughtfully created and we are excited to give them to our clients.”
