You do not have to be in Sherbrooke.

Sherbrooke is the largest city in Quebec's Eastern Townships and sits where the Magog and Saint-Francois rivers meet, with the old mill gorge running through the middle of downtown. It is a mostly francophone university city, home to the Universite de Sherbrooke, with English-language Bishop's University in the Lennoxville borough.

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

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

Sending one to Sherbrooke.

It is a university city and a mostly francophone one. The Universite de Sherbrooke is one of the larger French-language universities in the province, and English-language Bishop's University sits in the Lennoxville borough, a reminder that the Townships were settled by English speakers before the francophone majority arrived in the nineteenth century.

A gorge through the middle of town, and a card that should probably be in French.

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 Sherbrooke.

Where I ship in Sherbrooke.

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

  • FleurimontA large eastern borough that includes the university hospital centre, mostly residential with a mix of older and newer housing.
  • Mont-BellevueThe central borough holding the Universite de Sherbrooke campus and the hill and park the borough is named for.
  • LennoxvilleA historically English-speaking borough at the confluence of the rivers, home to Bishop's University and a distinct village core.
  • Rock ForestA western borough merged into the city in 2002, spread out with residential streets and open land.
  • BromptonThe northernmost borough, a former town around a paper mill, still separate in feel from the rest of the city.
  • Jacques-CartierA northwest borough of dense residential streets close to the city centre.

Why people send a gift in Sherbrooke.

Convocation at the two universities

The Universite de Sherbrooke and Bishop's both graduate students into the same small city each spring, one in French and one in English, so late spring is the busiest sending season of the year here.

A card written in French

Most of the city lives in French. Writing the message in French at checkout, even a single line, is the simplest way to make a box feel like it belongs where it landed.

Ski season in the Townships

The Eastern Townships are ski country, with hills a short drive from the city and a long winter to use them. A warm gift in the middle of that season suits the place.

Autumn in the Townships

The hills around Sherbrooke turn colour early and the region fills with visitors for it. It is a natural moment to thank whoever hosted you for a weekend.
