Christmas gift baskets and boxes, shipped free across Canada
Hi. Every SwipeGifts box is packed by hand, by me, here in Canada, and your card goes in written out in your own words. Nothing inside has a price on it, and shipping anywhere in Canada is on me.
I pack each box by hand here in Canada, and your card is written out by hand.
Boxes from $99 to $299, or build your own from $50.
Merry Christmas, Mom. Open this one first.
Love, Sara
One Christmas box, three sizes
One box, three sizes, and the same handwritten card in every one. The size is how full it comes, not a different idea. What goes in follows what is good that month, so I tell you how it feels rather than what is in it. The photos show the style; the one that arrives will be its own.

Build your own gift box
From$50Pick the box, then fill it by feel: something sweet, a warm drink, something to keep. I'll pack it the same way.
The card is the part they keep.
You type the message when you order, up to 280 characters. I write it out in pen on a real card and set it on top, so it's the first thing they read. It reads like a note from you, not something from a warehouse.
Stuck on what to write? You could start with one of these:
"Thinking of you this year.""Save this one for the morning.""Merry Christmas from all of us."
There are more Christmas lines in my guide to writing a gift card message.
Merry Christmas, Mom. You said no gifts. I heard you and did it anyway.
Love, Sara
How to choose a Christmas box
Start with who it is and what the rules are. An office exchange usually has a cap, and my smallest box is $99, so it fits a cap of that much or more and it is over the line on a $25 one. For a friend or a neighbour, $99 to $119 covers every box under $100 and the Signature size above them. For family, $119 to $189 is the honest middle, and the Signature size at $119 sits at the bottom of it. For a partner, a parent, or the one gift you want remembered, there is the Premier size at $189, the luxury boxes for her and for him at $299, or the Luxury size at $299. My guide to how much to spend on a gift in Canada goes relationship by relationship.
Under $100
Nine boxes from $99 to $119, plus build your own from $50, for the people you see once a year and the exchange at work. Shipping is free on every one of them, the $99 box included.
$100 to $200
Three boxes from $119 to $299: the Premium Executive Box, the Grand Celebration Box and the Just Because Gift Box. The Signature and Premier sizes of the Christmas Gift Box, at $119 and $189, are in the sizes section above.
Over $200
For the ones you want remembered: the Luxury Gift Box for Her and the Luxury Gift Box for Him, both at $299. The Luxury size of the Christmas Gift Box, at $299, is in the sizes section above.
For her
The Luxury Gift Box for Her at $299 is the one I'd pick for her. For a smaller budget, the Cozy Cup Comfort Box at $99 or $119 and the Warm Hug Box at $99 or $119 keep December quiet rather than busy.
For him
For him, the Luxury Gift Box for Him at $299 is the one to send if the budget allows. Below that, the Premium Executive Box at $119 suits a desk and the Coffee Routine Box at $99 or $119 suits a morning.
Secret Santa and the office exchange
Five boxes from $99 to $119 that suit a name drawn out of a hat: easy to like, nothing too personal, nothing anyone has to pretend about. Check the cap before you order, because $99 is as low as I go. My Secret Santa guide has ideas below $50 too. Still drawing names? My free Secret Santa draw puts everyone in a hat and sends each person their own link, no sign-up.
For a team
Easy-to-like boxes from $99 that work as a gift from the whole office. If it is a teacher you are thinking of, the four teacher boxes have their own page. Sending one to everyone on the team? See team orders below.
Sending to a whole team?
Same boxes, each one going to its own address with its own handwritten card. Order 5 to 25 yourself at $119, $189 or $299 a box. For more than 25, or for your company's branding on the card, ask me for a quote.
Team orders are open all year. I answer quote requests within one business day.
A box is a non-cash gift. Under the Canada Revenue Agency's policy on gifts and awards, non-cash gifts to an arm's-length employee are generally not a taxable benefit while the total stays at $500 or less per person in a calendar year, so the Signature and the Premier sit under that line with room left. This is a summary of public policy and not tax advice. The full explanation, with the CRA links, is on my corporate page.
| Size | Per box | 5 boxes | 10 boxes | 25 boxes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Signature | $119 | $595 | $1,190 | $2,975 |
| Premier | $189 | $945 | $1,890 | $4,725 |
| Luxury | $299 | $1,495 | $2,990 | $7,475 |
Before tax, with free shipping. Self-serve orders are 5 to 25 boxes. More than 25 is by quote.

Questions people ask me
When should I order Christmas gifts in Canada?
Shipping is free anywhere in Canada and takes 1 to 7 days in transit. I can't promise an exact arrival date, so order at least two weeks ahead. You can pick a preferred delivery date at checkout.
What is inside a Christmas gift box?
It depends on the box. The Christmas Gift Box is a mix I choose for the person: something sweet, something warm to drink, something to keep, with your card on top. The Signature holds about 5 things and the Premier about 6 things. What goes in changes with the season, so I describe it by feel rather than listing it. There's no price on anything inside.
Do you have Christmas gifts for her and for him?
Yes. For her, the Luxury Gift Box for Her is $299, and the Cozy Cup Comfort Box at $99 or $119 and the Warm Hug Box at $99 or $119 suit a smaller budget. For him, the Luxury Gift Box for Him is $299, the Premium Executive Box is $119 and the Coffee Routine Box is $99 or $119. The Christmas Gift Box works for anyone, in three sizes from $119.
Do these work for Secret Santa or an office exchange?
They work where the cap is $99 or more. Five boxes from $99 to $119 suit a name drawn out of a hat: easy to like, nothing too personal. If your exchange caps at $25 I'm over the line and I'd rather say so than pretend. My guide to Secret Santa gifts under $50 has ideas at that budget. If you have not drawn names yet, the free Secret Santa draw on this site does it in a minute and sends everyone a private link.
Can I order Christmas boxes for my whole team?
Yes. You can order 5 to 25 boxes yourself on my corporate page at $119, $189 or $299 a box. For more than 25, for boxes going to separate home addresses, or for your own wording on the card, ask me for a quote and I'll price it by email within one business day.
Is a gift box taxable for an employee in Canada?
A box is a non-cash gift. Under the Canada Revenue Agency's policy on gifts and awards, non-cash gifts to an arm's-length employee are generally not a taxable benefit while the total value stays at $500 or less per person in a calendar year, so the Signature at $119 and the Premier at $189 sit under that line with room left. The Luxury at $299 still fits but uses most of the room. This is a summary of public policy and not tax advice, so check it with your own accountant. The longer version, with the CRA links, is on my corporate page.
Can I send boxes to more than one address?
Yes. A personal order goes to one address, so a list of people means one order each, and every box gets its own handwritten card. For a long list, use the quote form and send me the addresses instead of typing them one at a time.
Can I return a Christmas box?
All sales are final. Every box is food, skincare and other things that cannot be resold once they have left here, and each one is packed by hand to order. If you have a question before you buy, email me at team@swipegifts.com.
Thanks for reading this far. If you have a question about any box, write to me at team@swipegifts.com. I read every email, and I write back.
