Baskits Catalog - 2022/2023 Collection

Bringing people together for over 35 years

Hi, my name is Robin Kovitz and I’m the President & CEO of Baskits Inc., North America’s premier gifting service. I’d like to welcome you to this year’s catalog – a treasure trove of beautiful and elegant gifts with something for everyone, and every occasion. We hope you enjoy it and that through our products you will find something special to show love, to impress, to thank, to congratulate, to connect or just to say that you are thinking of them.

I am often asked how I ended up running a premium gifting company. There are two key elements of my life that brought me to this wonderful and exciting point. First, as a born entrepreneur, I have wanted to own and run a company for as long as I can remember. This motivated me to closely observe my family’s food business, even as a child. It lead me to the Commerce program at Queen’s University followed by a Master of Business Administration from the Harvard Business School. It also led me into traditional financial jobs including investment banking, business consulting and private equity. This path helped to pave the way to my eventual acquisition of Baskits Inc. in 2014.

The second element that brought me to Baskits was the observation that I made in my personal and professional life that there are very few compelling avenues through which people can connect, and maintain those connections, in special and meaningful ways. As life speeds up, we have less time to care for and cultivate these critical bonds between us – whether it is with our family members and friends, or with our business contacts, employees and customers. You can imagine my excitement when the opportunity to acquire Baskits came along. Here was a company that had been in existence since 1985, with wonderful products and a stellar reputation, that was using gifts to connect people in such a seamless and impactful fashion. I jumped at the chance to acquire Baskits Inc. and am so happy that I did.

Today more than ever, we at Baskits are keenly focused on our mission of connecting people and bringing joy into our customers’ and gift recipients’ lives. It keeps us motivated and inspired to provide the highest quality products, exceptional customer service, state-of-the-art infrastructure and systems resulting in an overall gifting experience that is truly second to none. We hope you enjoy our catalog and hope to assist you with all of the special connections that life has to offer.

SINCERELY, Robin M. Kovitz

Our exculsive, luxury baby line

WHY WE MADE IT:

As a mom, CEO Robin Kovitz had a vision to create a line of baby products and clothing that were not only useful, but well made and top quality. Taking from her own experience of being a new mom and receiving baby gifts that lacked in quality and babysafe ingredients, she and the Baskits team designed a brand of products that any new parent would be delighted to receive!

WHAT WE MADE:

You'll find only baby-safe ingredients in all of our baby skincare products that are gentle on baby's skin and our clothing is made using quality materials like 100% Cotton or 100% Cashmere that are soft and long lasting. Shop our exclusive Jake and Jill baby collection at www.baskits.com and see the difference!

Named after our CEO Robin's children, the Jake and Jill brand focuses on luxurious, well made and useful products that are not only of superior quality and value, but also exclusively available at Baskits!

WHY

WE MADE IT:

Named in honour of CEO Robin's late grandmother who was the epitome of strength, grace and family values. Each product has been carefully designed using luxe materials that will become elegant additions to any home.

WHAT WE MADE:

Beautiful acacia wood cutting boards, soft scented candles and 100% cashmere items, are just a few options to choose in the collection. Discover our full line of luxury house and home products delivered with world-class service.

Muriel Kovitz (1926 - 2021)

We are proud to introduce Empress & Co., a luxury gifting brand that epitomizes the delivery of world-class products with world-class service. Empress & Co. personifies the spirit and ethos of the Empress in each of our lives.

In some ways, an Empress is an uncommon figure in history. She is the ruler of an empire. But the concept of an Empress is so much more evocative than a simple expression of power. It suggests sophistication, elegance, empathy, femininity, wisdom, compassion, courage and grace. In that broader sense, many of us have been blessed with an Empress figure in our lives. Someone who radiates these traits and inspires us by their character and example.

My Grandmother Muriel has been an Empress in my life. She has deeply influenced every step of my journey, and every element of who I am as a person. Born in the 1920s, Muriel used her grit, determination and smarts to overcome many of the societal ties that bound women in those days and beyond. While lovingly raising a family, she served on significant boards of directors, advised Prime Ministers, served as the Chancellor to a major university and was awarded the Order of Canada. And she accomplished all this with an ever-present aura of effortless sophistication, wisdom and positivity.

We created Empress & Co. to honour Muriel and as a tribute to the Empress in each of our lives. The Empress spirit inspires every aspect of our company and ensures we meet the incredibly high standards of an Empress in everything we do.

BIRTHDAYS

Shopping for the perfect birthday gift has never been easier! Our Birthday gift boxes and baskets have been designed to deliver maximum birthday joy and to brighten the big day of anyone special in your life.

We ship all across Canada & the USA.

WHY WE MADE IT:

At Baskits, every gourmet gift basket includes only the finest, highest quality products. Our high standards led us to search Canada and the world for products we could proudly include in our gift baskets. We visited countless local artisan shops and hand made chocolatiers, sampling and testing every product along the way. When we could not find incredible tasting sweet treats all in one banner, we created our Dabble & Drizzle brand.

WHAT WE MADE:

From our irresistible peanut brittle to our delectable melt-in-your-mouth truffles, you won't find these products anywhere else! One bite and you will fall in love with our Dabble & Drizzle products. Find Dabble & Drizzle products included in many of our gift collections or purchase them individually. Visit www.baskits.com to treat yourself to these exclusive products.

At Baskits, we have extremely high standards! We try & taste every product to make sure it's worthy of being in our gifts. When products don’t meet our high standards, we find top artisans and work with them to develop new products ourselves.

THERE'S A REASON IT'S CALLED THE MOST wonderful TIME OF THE YEAR!

Our Holiday Collection features savoury & sweet indulgences perfect for the season! Exceed expectations with beautifully designed and hand-crafted gifts. Our Holiday gift baskets radiate the holiday spirit, wishing every recipient a season that's merry and bright.

WHY WE MADE IT:

We love everything sweet at Baskits, but sometimes, there’s nothing better than a salty, savoury snack!

Enter Crackle & Pop, our gourmet line of the very finest snacks, including hand roasted nuts, kettle corn and potato chips.

At Baskits, we are serious about snacking! In pursuit of the best quality snacks that will impress even the most discerning critic, we created Crackle & Pop, a delicious assortment of snacking treats.
