Why Nanaimo is Falling in Love with Nanaimo Gift Baskets (and We Just Won an Award to Prove It!)

It’s hard to believe that six years ago, Nanaimo Gift Baskets started with a simple idea: to make gifting local, thoughtful, and easy. Since then, we’ve hand-delivered thousands of gift baskets to birthdays, baby showers, get-well wishes, retirements, housewarmings, and just-because moments all across Nanaimo and beyond.

This year, we’re incredibly proud to share that we’ve been awarded the Business Consumer Choice Award — a huge honour that’s based entirely on customer feedback and community support. To everyone who has ever ordered a basket, referred us to a friend, or left a kind review — thank you. This award is yours too.

What Makes Nanaimo Gift Baskets Different?

The Gentlemen's Retreat - Custom Gift Basket

✅ Locally Curated Products – We fill our baskets with high-

quality, often local treats and treasures. Whether it’s small-batch jam, artisan chocolates, or handcrafted bath goodies, every item is selected with care.

✅ Personal Touch – Every basket is made to order, wrapped beautifully, and delivered with heart. We’re proud to offer that personal, boutique experience — with the reliability and polish you’d expect from a bigger brand.

✅ Fast, Local Delivery – Most baskets can be delivered within as little as 3 days! We know that sometimes life calls for last-minute gifting, and we’re here to help you show up — even from afar.

✅ Something for Every Occasion – From sympathy baskets to new baby arrivals, teacher gifts to client thank-yous, we’ve got thoughtful options for every moment that matters.

A Huge Thank You, Nanaimo ❤️
