You do not have to be in Kamloops.

Kamloops sits where the North and South Thompson rivers meet, in a dry, hill-ringed valley that looks more like sagebrush country than the rest of British Columbia. Thompson Rivers University is up on Sahali, the city is a long-standing rail junction, and Sun Peaks brings a winter crowd about an hour north.

Order from anywhere in Canada or outside it, put the Kamloops 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 Kamloops or three provinces away.

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

Sending one to Kamloops.

The river splits the city into a South Shore and a North Shore and locals use both names constantly. Thompson Rivers University sits up on Sahali above the valley, the rail lines still run through the middle of everything, and Sun Peaks brings a winter crowd about an hour north.

Two rivers meet, the city splits in half, and locals will always say which shore.

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 Kamloops.

Where I ship in Kamloops.

Free shipping reaches every address in Kamloops, with no surcharge for any neighbourhood and no minimum order. A few of the areas boxes go to:

  • SahaliThe hillside district on the south side holding Thompson Rivers University, with long views over the valley.
  • AberdeenA newer residential area high on the south side, built out over the last few decades.
  • North KamloopsThe North Shore core across the river, with its own commercial strip along Tranquille Road.
  • BrocklehurstA large North Shore residential neighbourhood near the airport, mostly family housing.
  • WestsydeThe northernmost part of the city, along the North Thompson River and semi-rural at its edges.
  • ValleyviewAn east-end neighbourhood on the south side, above the river and the highway.

Why people send a gift in Kamloops.

Thompson Rivers University convocation

TRU graduates students each June, many of them from smaller communities across the interior and the north. A box at their own place marks the day without anyone driving the canyon.

A ski season at Sun Peaks

The resort an hour north gives the city a real winter season, and plenty of households here work or play in it. A warm gift in the middle of that stretch suits how people live.

The end of a hot, dry summer

Kamloops summers run hot and the valley bakes. The first cool week in the autumn is a natural moment to send something to someone who has been shut indoors with the blinds down.

A tournament weekend

The city calls itself the tournament capital of the country and hosts sport events most weekends of the year. A thank-you for whoever billeted a team or hosted the family is a fitting gift.
