You do not have to be in Abbotsford.

Abbotsford sits in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver with Mount Baker filling the skyline across the border, and it was formed when the districts of Abbotsford and Matsqui amalgamated in 1995. Farmland covers much of the city, the University of the Fraser Valley is here, and the Gur Sikh Temple in Clearbrook, built in 1911, is the oldest standing Sikh temple in the country.

Order from anywhere in Canada or outside it, put the Abbotsford address in at checkout with any apartment or buzzer number, and the box goes straight to them. I am one person packing boxes in Canada, not a shop on their street, so what arrives is the same box and the same card whether they live in Abbotsford or three provinces away.

One place in Canada, free shipping to every address in the country.

Sending one to Abbotsford.

Berries, poultry, dairy and greenhouse crops make this one of the most productive farming areas in the country by value, and the aerospace and manufacturing businesses at the airport add to it. The Gur Sikh Temple in Clearbrook, built in 1911, is the oldest standing Sikh temple in Canada and a National Historic Site, and the city has long had large Sikh and Mennonite communities.

Farm country with a mountain in every south-facing window.

One box, three sizes.

The box I send most often, matched to the person rather than the date. What goes inside changes with the season, so I describe each size by how full it is rather than listing it.

No two boxes are exactly alike. Every photograph shows the style and the quality rather than the exact box, and every occasion has its own shelf.

Start with the occasion.

The same boxes, sorted by the reason you are sending one. Every shelf ships free to Abbotsford.

Why people send a gift in Abbotsford.

The Abbotsford airshow in August

The airshow at the airport is one of the largest in the country and it brings family and visitors into town every summer. A host or thank-you gift suits the weekend well.

The end of berry season

The valley runs on berries through the summer, and the work is long and weather-dependent. A gift once the picking finishes is a plain, well-timed thank-you.

University of the Fraser Valley milestones

UFV graduates students into nursing, trades, agriculture and business each spring, with many staying in the valley. A box at their own place marks the step simply.

A family wedding season

The city has large Sikh and Mennonite communities with strong extended-family traditions, and wedding and engagement seasons bring a lot of gift-sending with them.
