With such a sophisticated and innovative design, the new Gourmet Trotter hamper is transforming the traditional alfresco dining experience. Its brilliant and sleek design, fine dining accessories, innovative and portable system makes this product unlike anything you have seen before.

The Gourmet Trotter is a mobile picnic hamper with complete service for 4 and features many fine accessories including: designer double walled glassware, English porcelain plates, French style Laguiole cutlery, embroidered linen napkins and stackable stainless steel bowls, salt and pepper grinder, corkscrew and cutting board. Three individual modules are held together by a unique hidden magnet system and are designed to be transported as a ‘tower unit’ on a golf trolley (included). Being module makes transporting the system very easy – even the golf trolley folds together for convenient storage.

We just brought in two favorites from the Perfect Petzzz new wild animals collection: the panda and the koala. They are both absolutely adorable, super soft and as always, these breathing animals are so realistic looking. The new wild animals arrive in an attractive cardboard box that can be used to carry the animal along with a beautiful plush pet bed, a wooden brush, collar, adoption certificate, 1 D alkaline battery and a “Did You Know” info card.

We have sold so many of these cute little animals to so many different types of customers, from the very young to the elderly.  They make great companions and are sure to bring a smile. To check our complete collection of Perfect Petzzz please check our website.

We were recently asked to make some gifts for a Bond themed party. We have done many themed gifts in the past but this one was a lot of fun to put together. We decided work around 3 Bond movie themes: Diamonds are Forever, Goldfinger and Casino Royale.

For the Diamonds are Forever gift, we used our Martini Time gift basket as a base. For a cool look, we filled the acrylic cocktail shaker with decorative plastic ‘diamonds’ wrapped in turquoise organza and added chocolate cigars.

For our Goldfinger gift basket, we used a gold faux leather container and combined it with gold gourmet products and chocolate cigars along with the 007 personalized ribbon.

For the Casino Royale gift, we used a black faux leather container and went with a poker theme.

All the baskets had their respective movies included to complete the look.

Here’s a recent project we did for a client, and would like to share with you. We did a variation on our BBQ Aficionado gift basket to incorporate more of a picnic theme. The focus of the design was to make all of the products as visible as possible while making sure that the design would hold up to being on display for over a month at over 180 location across British Columbia. One of the key features of this picnic basket is the bbq tool set from Picnic Time featuring an apron, hat, glove and 3 piece tool set. To compliment the bbq set we included salmon rub (from The Metropolitan Chef), steak rub and Canadian burger mix (from Wildly Delicious). For the picnic side there’s a traditional red and white checkered fabric tablecloth with ready to eat gourmet foods such as lobster & salmon spread, antipasto, crackers, French jam, champagne apricot biscotti chocolate, pistachios, almonds and mustard.

Here are some great gift ideas for dad on his day. For the complete Father’s day gift collection, please visit our website.
