It’s Summer! Summer means more time outside in warm weather. Everything is green and everything is good. It’s the season for amusement parks, ice cream, splash ponds and lazy days. Responsibilities seem a little less important, and fun seems a little more urgent. It’s no wonder then, that summer love is a thing. There are dozens of songs written about it, and August is definitely the biggest month when it comes to wedding season. Simply put, it’s the easiest time to be outside with friends to celebrate any happy occasion.

We want you to get excited when you think of our gift baskets. There’s so much fun to be had when you look at each individual item, and find something new with each one. Our baskets are an experience – one that you will relive every time you dig in to a new treat. They remind you of just how thoughtful someone has been to you, and let you try things you may have never thought to try before.

Our New Products Team is always striving to find new ideas for gift baskets that look great and taste exceptional, and bring adventure to people each day. Today, we are sharing something we find sadly lacking in the gift basket world: gifts for people with dietary restrictions.

This year, Marilyn Denis and James Cunningham came up with a fantastic Father's Day gift guide! Helping Canadians all over the country get a better idea for what Dad wants for Father's Day, they were sure to include Yorkville as their choice for No. 1 Dads everywhere with our No. 1 Dad Ultimate Gift Crate and No. 1 Dad Gift Crate. After all, who doesn’t enjoy receiving a gift basket?

At Yorkville, we sincerely believe that everyone can appreciate a thoughtful collection of carefully selected goodies. We’re hoping to modernize the gift basket model and change the way people think about them – don’t get us wrong, we love our wicker – but times are calling for some surprising and delightful new options too.

For any occasion, they’re a beautiful way to show someone just how much you care to treat them to something special. Handmade with love in Toronto, our baskets are dressed to impress, and always full of surprises.
