At Gift Baskets By Design, we believe in the power of supporting local and ethical companies!

Why? Because we are a small local business, and it's in the day-to-day relationships which we cultivate that creates a wonderful culture of sustainability. If we detach ourselves from who we are doing business with, everything suffers. The products, the people. We want none of that. Many of our gift baskets feature products sourced from Calgary's talented artisans, showcasing the rich tapestry of creativity within our community. By choosing our gift baskets, you not only provide your loved ones with unique and high-quality items but also contribute to the growth and sustainability of local businesses, which in turn, will only help us have more!

We are continually adding and showcasing great local products in our gifts.

Here are just a few of the wonderful local businesses we feature in our gifts:

• All Things Jill

  • Calgary, Alberta
  • From their website... "Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Beyond an environmental perspective, sustainability means caring for our coworkers, our workplace, and our community. Sustainability also guides our manufacturing. Our products are handcrafted from start to finish, with no automated processes. Every shower steamer, bath bomb, mineral soak, and bum balm is hand-pressed, poured, and labeled. We believe it’s that mindful, human element that makes each final product so special."

• Oyaco Baby Products

  • Calgary, Alberta
  • From their website... "From the Japanese words ‘oya’ meaning parent, and a version of the word ‘ko’ meaning child, Oyaco was established two decades ago by a desire to support the journey of Canadian parents and their families. This is the foundation and the heart of everything we do and all that we stand for. We take great pride in the products we represent and have been fortunate to partner with ethical global brands that support our vision of providing innovative and safe solutions for parents. The brands in our portfolio have been carefully selected, tested, and evaluated by a panel of peers and moms and they all meet safety standards and governmental regulations."

• Stormy Acres Hops Farm

  • Aldersyde, Alberta
  • From their website... "Welcome to Stormy Acres Hops, your go-to destination for all things hops! Located just south of Okotoks, we're a family hop farm growing 10 hop varieties tailored to meet the demands of the local craft and home brewing community. But that's not all—we're also skilled artisans, crafting a diverse range of hop-inspired items and premium beer gear. Our story begins with a shared dream among myself, my husband, and my brother. In 2020, we decided to take a bold leap and redefine our life's journey. We packed up our lives, along with our two amazing kids, and set our sights on a new farm adventure. Since then, immersing ourselves in the farm life has brought us immense joy and fulfillment. This journey is our labor of love, and we can't wait to share it with you." Find out more HERE.
