You do not have to be in Red Deer.

Red Deer is Alberta's third-largest city and the service centre for central Alberta, sitting almost exactly midway between Calgary and Edmonton on Highway 2. The Red Deer River runs through it with the Waskasoo Park trail system along the banks, Red Deer Polytechnic trains much of the region's trades and nursing workforce, and Westerner Park hosts the summer fair.

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

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

Sending one to Red Deer.

The Red Deer River cuts through the city with the Waskasoo Park trail system along its banks, which is the city at its best. Red Deer Polytechnic trains much of the trades, nursing and business workforce for the region, and Westerner Park holds the summer fair and the agricultural shows that bring central Alberta into town.

Halfway up the province, where half the city actually lives in the next town.

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 Red Deer.

Why people send a gift in Red Deer.

A Red Deer Polytechnic graduation

The polytechnic graduates students into the trades, nursing and business each spring, most of them staying in central Alberta. A gift sent to their place marks the finish of a hard programme.

The end of a rotation

Service-sector and field work in central Alberta runs on rotations and long stretches away. A box timed to a return home is a practical, well-judged gesture.

Summer at Sylvan Lake

Sylvan Lake is where the region spends its summer, and a lot of families have a place or a standing invitation there. A host gift suits a weekend that everyone plans around.

Westerner Days in July

The summer fair at Westerner Park is a fixture of the central Alberta calendar and brings the surrounding towns into the city. It is a natural week for a thank-you or a host gift.
