The Christmas baskets people chose most, by price

Each of the twelve gifts below was ordered for Christmas in at least two of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons, and they are sorted by what those Christmas orders came to. Only one finished far enough clear of the rest to carry a rank. Prices are today's.

Three Christmas seasons in figures

Picking the right basket

Six pointers drawn from the season's orders.

Wine climbs at Christmas

Wine was in 38% of Christmas orders, compared with 32% over all orders 2023–2025, and the Wicker Picnic Basket Wine Gift with Brie and Chocolate Truffles was the season's most-ordered gift. Browse the wine gift baskets. For bubbles, see the champagne gift baskets.

No alcohol, no ID

If the recipient doesn't drink, or nobody 19 or older will be in to show photo ID, pick a basket without alcohol: the Holiday Gift Basket with Coffee, Cookies, and Acacia Board ($103.99) or the Assorted Gourmet Cookies Gift Basket with Two-Tone Mug ($93.99).

Festive names win late

In the final week before Christmas, 53% of orders held a gift with a holiday name in its title; four weeks or more ahead, only 8% did. The Festive Chocolate and Tea Holiday Gift Basket fits a late order, and the Christmas gift baskets hold more.

One basket is the usual order

96% of Christmas orders held a single gift and 4% held two or more. Sending to a client list or a whole team? The business section below explains how.

Weekend orders wait for Monday

14% of Christmas orders were placed on a Saturday or Sunday. The courier runs Monday to Friday, so those leave on Monday; same-day delivery, which runs only in Toronto and parts of the Greater Toronto Area, keeps going at weekends.

The $100 line

80% of Christmas orders came to $100 or more, and from there delivery is free across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Under $100, checkout shows the charge before you pay.

Christmas gifts from companies

Businesses placed 43% of Christmas orders, well above the 30% they make up across all orders 2023–2025. They also plan further out: 43% of their Christmas orders went in more than two weeks before December 25, and only 21% came in the final week, against 36% for everyone else.

Questions about Christmas orders

It depends on the address. Same-day delivery, only in Toronto and parts of the Greater Toronto Area, takes orders until 11 a.m. local time on Thursday, December 24. By courier, order before 2 p.m. local time on Tuesday, December 22 where delivery takes up to 2 business days, or on Monday, December 21 where it takes up to 3. For any other address, the postal code checker shows how many business days to allow.

Is anything delivered on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or at weekends?

There are no deliveries on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year's Day. The courier works Monday to Friday; same-day delivery, which runs only in the places listed above, carries on through weekends up to Thursday, December 24.

Do gifts with alcohol need ID?

Yes. Alcohol deliveries follow provincial law, and the person accepting one must be of legal drinking age, 19 or older, with photo ID. If nobody that age will be in, send a basket without alcohol, such as the Assorted Gourmet Cookies Gift Basket with Two-Tone Mug.

Orders of $100 and more travel free across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Below that, and for courier addresses, the charge appears at checkout before payment; a remote address can carry an extra service charge.
