You do not have to be in Kelowna.

Kelowna is the largest city in British Columbia's Interior, strung along the east shore of Okanagan Lake in the middle of the province's orchard and wine country. UBC Okanagan sits above the city in Glenmore, the W. R. Bennett Bridge crosses to West Kelowna, and Big White brings a winter season to a place best known for its hot, dry summers.

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

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

Sending one to Kelowna.

Summers are hot and dry, the lake is the centre of everything from June to September, and Big White gives the place a real winter season an hour up the road. UBC Okanagan sits above the city in Glenmore, and the wine and tourism industries carry a large share of the work.

Across the bridge is a different city, so read the address before you order.

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 Kelowna.

Where I ship in Kelowna.

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

  • DowntownThe lakefront core around Bernard Avenue and the waterfront park, walkable and busy through the summer.
  • GlenmoreA valley north of downtown running up to the UBC Okanagan campus, mostly residential with newer development.
  • RutlandA large eastern district that was its own community before amalgamation, dense and diverse with its own town centre.
  • Lower MissionA settled lakeside area south of downtown with beaches, parks and older family housing.
  • Upper MissionNewer housing climbing the hillside above the Mission, with long views across the lake.
  • Kettle ValleyA planned neighbourhood in the Upper Mission built around a village square, named for the old rail line.

Why people send a gift in Kelowna.

UBC Okanagan convocation

The Okanagan campus holds its ceremonies in June, and many students came from elsewhere in the province or the country. A box at their place is an easy way to be present without the drive over the mountains.

The end of harvest

Orchards and vineyards here run flat out from late summer into October, and the crush is a genuine finish line for a lot of households. A thank-you or a well-done gift lands well once it is over.

A retirement to the lake

The Okanagan has drawn retirees for generations, and plenty of people here moved away from family to be beside the water. A box on an ordinary day carries further than it would across town.

Ski season at Big White

Winter turns the city into a base for the hill an hour up the road. A warm gift in the middle of that season suits how people actually live here.

Questions about sending to Kelowna.

How does sending a gift basket to Kelowna work?

You order from wherever you are, enter the Kelowna address at checkout with any apartment or buzzer number, and write the message you want on the card. I pack the box by hand in Canada and send it out with free shipping. There is no price on anything inside, so it arrives as a gift. For a birthday or another dated occasion, order with a week or two of room.

Which parts of Kelowna do you ship to?

Free shipping reaches every address in Kelowna, including Downtown, Glenmore, Rutland, Lower Mission, Upper Mission, and more. Nearby communities like West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland are covered too. There is no extra charge for any neighbourhood.

Anything worth knowing when you send to Kelowna?

West Kelowna is a separate city across the bridge, and Lake Country and Peachland are their own districts, so confirm which one is on the address.

Is shipping to Kelowna really free?

Yes. Every order ships free to Kelowna and everywhere else in Canada, with no minimum and no promo code. The price you see is the price you pay, and boxes start at $70.

Do you send corporate gifts to Kelowna?

Yes. I handle corporate orders shipped to individual addresses across Kelowna and the rest of British Columbia. Corporate gifting starts at $119 a box. Email team@swipegifts.com for a quote.

Where to go next

Somewhere in Kelowna there is someone who would not expect this. I will pack the box by hand, write your card out in pen, keep every price out of it, and send it free to their door, the same as I do everywhere else in British Columbia.
