r e h t e g o t e l p o e p g n i Bring 35 years r e v o r fo
Hello and welcome to the Baskits 2021/22 catalog! This year’s catalog is the culmination of a year of incredible challenges and amazing perseverance by our Baskits family, and I couldn’t be prouder of the result. Within these pages you will find some of the most beautiful and impactful gifts Baskits has ever produced, including excellent new products and designs that you just can’t find anywhere else. We are so excited for these gifts to start bringing the joy for which they were intended! While this past year has been challenging for all, I am pleased to report that Baskits has used this time to improve our business in ways that will ultimately benefit our customers. We have acquired a fleet of branded delivery vehicles which will provide an even more elegant experience to our gift recipients. We upgraded our back-end technology to allow us to execute at an even higher level, particularly with large and complex orders. Most importantly, we acquired a new flagship operating facility & head office which will be our home for years to come. In addition to our internal successes, I am also proud of our external recognition, including our second straight acknowledgement as one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies by The Globe and Mail’s Report on Business Magazine, recognition our whole team proudly shares. Of course, we recognize that these successes could never be achieved without our incredible customers whose support we appreciate more than ever during these times. We will continue to make every effort to provide you with the very best customer service while delivering the finest gifts consisting of the highest quality products sourced here in Canada and around the world. Thank you for your incredible support! SI NC ER ELY,

SÓ LUXURY Woman owned natural bath, body and cleaning products from Mission, British Columbia
“When we began our partnership with Baskits 4 years ago it was the BIGGEST contract we had ever received and continues to be one of our biggest purchasers. Not only are we proud and honoured to be featured in the gorgeous gifts created by the Baskits team, we are inspired that Baskits was also created by women!”
IT’S SÓ GOOD:
Amanda started Só Luxury in 2015 while on maternity leave as a remedy for her own son's eczema. She gifted the signature Coco Oat Milk Bath to her friends that year for Christmas who all encouraged her to sell it - the rest is history!
WHY WE LOVE IT SÓ:

Baskits was thrilled to find these eczema friendly, all natural bath products over 4 years ago! Once owner Robin Kovitz tried the Coconut & Oat Milk Bath for her young children’s sensitive skin, she was hooked - we knew our customers would agree! Find SÓ Luxury in our Baby and Self-Care Gifts

Woman owned and made by hand in Montreal, Quebec
“Baskits is easy to work with and we have always felt appreciated and supported as a supplier. We are very proud to collaborate with another Canadian woman owned business for the last seven years!”
DOT & LIL:
Anne Dardick’s bath obsession was the driving force behind founding Dot & Lil in 2008. Thirteen years later, their products are all still made by hand, by a team of 15 people in their Montréal atelier. The Dot & Lil line has always been inspired by great ladies of the past, the beauty of tradition, and the special world of flowers.
WHY WE LOVE THEM:
The Baskits team has been working with Dot & Lil for over 7 years! We love that this woman owned business has continued to create their beautiful products by hand for all these years! Find Dot & Lil products in our Self-Care Gifts

MARY MACLEOD'S The best shortbread in the country, from Toronto, Ontario
Mary Macleod opened her bakery 40 years ago. She had just survived breast cancer, was newly divorced and needed to support herself. She was a passionate baker and would make treats for local food markets in the Yonge and Eglinton area of Toronto. Everyone loved her shortbread, so she took a brave step, opening Canada's first shortbread-only bakery under the marquee of the Capitol Theatre in Toronto and the rest is history.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
Baskits has been working with Mary Macleod’s for OVER 30 YEARS! We love our loyal partnership! Find Mary Macleod's products in our Holiday and Gourmet Collections
“Our brand is all about quality and we partner with like-minded customers, vendors, and staff. Baskits is aligned with our vision of bringing the best to its customers. We've worked with Robin and her team to create special packages that you can only find at Baskits. This is great exposure for our second generation, woman owned bakery and it has helped us grow.”
