You do not have to be in Toronto.
Toronto is Canada's largest city and really six cities at once: the 1998 amalgamation joined Old Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, York and East York into one municipality. A single Toronto address can mean a glass tower over the lake or a postwar bungalow on a quiet street, and knowing which one helps you write a card that fits their world.
Order from anywhere in Canada or outside it, put the Toronto 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 Toronto or three provinces away.
One place in Canada, free shipping to every address in the country.
Sending one to Toronto.
It is also one of the most diverse cities anywhere, with a very large share of residents born outside Canada and a long list of languages spoken across its neighbourhoods. That shows up in how people mark occasions here, from a downtown graduation to Diwali, Lunar New Year or Eid with family in the suburbs. A gift box with a card in your own hand reads as personal in a place this large and this fast-moving.
Six cities in one, and a card in your own hand still reads as personal.
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.

Where I ship in Toronto.
Free shipping reaches every address in Toronto, with no surcharge for any neighbourhood and no minimum order. A few of the areas boxes go to:
- DowntownThe core: condo towers, the Financial District on Bay Street, and the underground PATH walkways. Most buildings have a front desk that signs for parcels.
- North YorkA dense second downtown up Yonge Street around Sheppard, mixing condo clusters with established residential streets and large suburban communities.
- ScarboroughToronto's diverse eastern district, a popular landing spot for newcomers, with family homes, apartments and some of the city's best food from around the world.
- EtobicokeThe western part of the city, running from lakeshore neighbourhoods to leafy postwar streets and newer subdivisions further north.
- The AnnexA leafy area of Victorian and Edwardian homes next to the University of Toronto, long home to faculty, students and independent shops along Bloor Street.
- YorkvilleA small, upscale district just east of the Annex known for luxury shopping, galleries and restored Victorian houses turned into boutiques.
Why people send a gift in Toronto.
Convocation season at U of T, TMU and York
The University of Toronto's St. George campus sits downtown, Toronto Metropolitan University is at Yonge and Dundas, and York's main campus is up in the northwest. Spring and fall convocations bring a wave of graduations, and a box is an easy way to mark one from out of town.
A new job on Bay Street
The Financial District is the centre of Canadian banking, with the bank towers clustered around Bay and King. A first role at a bank or a law firm is a real milestone here, and a gift is a warm way to say congratulations without crowding their first busy weeks.
A first condo or a move across the city
Toronto runs on condos, and a first place downtown or a move out to North York or Etobicoke is a genuine occasion. A box sent to the new address, care of the front desk, lands as a proper housewarming.
Holidays across many calendars
With so many communities here, the reasons to send run all year. Diwali, Lunar New Year, Eid and Caribbean Carnival in August all bring their own gatherings, alongside the usual birthdays and the December holidays.

Questions about sending to Toronto.
How does sending a gift basket to Toronto work?
You order from wherever you are, enter the Toronto 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 Toronto do you ship to?
Free shipping reaches every address in Toronto, including Downtown, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, The Annex, and more. Nearby communities like Mississauga, Brampton, Markham are covered too. There is no extra charge for any neighbourhood.
Anything worth knowing when you send to Toronto?
Toronto addresses span six former municipalities, so the neighbourhood and a unit number both matter on the label. In a condo the front desk usually signs for parcels, so the building address with the unit is normally all you need.
Is shipping to Toronto really free?
Yes. Every order ships free to Toronto 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 $99.
Do you send corporate gifts to Toronto?
Yes. I handle corporate orders shipped to individual addresses across Toronto and the rest of Ontario. Corporate gifting starts at $119 a box. Email team@swipegifts.com for a quote.
Where to go next
Somewhere in Toronto 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 Ontario.
