Edible Arrangements specializes in creating special fruit creations that have been artfully crafted and arranged like a bouquet. Their fresh fruit basket arrangements can be made even better by ordering them covered in gourmet chocolate too!

Should you want to go all out, the Incredible Edible – Chocolate Spectacular is a 3-foot tall arrangement that can serve up to 200 people! If you’re wondering how this is delivered to you, it isn’t – Edible Arrangements will create it at your venue to ensure its freshness.

This, and the other Chocolate Spectacular variants need at least a 48-hour advance notice, which is understandable. It features chocolate-dipped apple wedges, white chocolate-dipped strawberries, and a variety of fresh fruits in season.

This awe-inspiring arrangement is quite expensive, priced at $2,399.99 at the time of writing. Don’t worry though, Edible Arrangements have plenty of other fruit basket options to appease almost everyone’s budget and tastes.

You can get a Growing Daisy Expression at $29.99 as a simple gift for a colleague or a friend. It features a daisy-shaped pineapple, cantaloupe wedges, and other seasonal fruits.

Likewise, you can choose the mid-priced Salted Caramel Fall Daisy that comes in two sizes starting at $54.99. It features pineapple leaves, orange slices, salted caramel apple wedges, and more.

With over 50 different fruit bouquet baskets to choose from, they offer same-day delivery for a majority of their products. They even have items solely for special occasions and you can request special add-ons such as balloons and even teddy bears for a personal touch.

They have three branches in Edmonton, which provides you with options as to locations if a particular store can’t fulfill your order. If you visit a branch, you can also get free samples to help pick out your fresh fruit gourmet basket.

Bloomex began as a small flower store in Toronto in 1999 and expanded its services to include gifts in 2005. Today, their mission remains the same and is relatively simple: to offer Canadians affordable gifts of high quality.

With 17 varieties of gift baskets to choose from, we like that they are all relatively affordable, ranging from $39.99 to $134.99.

Their premium offering is the Super Deluxe Fruit Basket, which includes 24 pieces of fruits in season along with nuts and preserved cherries. It comes in three sizes and can include pears, peaches, plums, or mango, just to name a few options.

Other fruit combination baskets include cheese, wine, chocolate, and flowers. You can also add an “Extra Touch” for an extra fee, such as balloons, teddy bears, greeting cards, or deluxe packaging.

Bloomex also offers a unique corporate account membership if you regularly send gift baskets or flowers. Benefits include a 20% discount for all your employees and a dedicated corporate account manager you can contact for your concerns or orders.

The other benefit of a corporate account is that you can customize your own fruit basket, which isn’t offered for regular customers. You can supplement these with corporate giveaways as well.

Moreover, Bloomex has a loyalty program for all customers, into which you are automatically enrolled when you make a purchase. Each time you order, you’ll be credited with 2.5% worth of Bloomex Bucks based on your final checkout price.

Customer Reviews

Bloomex is popular with corporations because of the special discounts and the turnaround time for rush orders.

Sarah de Joybert, the Marketing Director or Vichy Laboratories L’Oreal Canada, is one such client, and shares her experience:

“We have been getting calls, emails and faxes all day from stores that have received their bouquets. It was definitely a very unexpected delivery, and thus so much more appreciated. I heard many comments on how beautiful the flowers were as well as the presentation of them. So MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Thanks so much for working with me on this. It was tight, delicate and extremely well executed.”

Jennifer Chang, the Corporate Programs Coordinator of Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, also works with Bloomex to handle gift baskets. She writes:

“Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is pleased to recognize Bloomex as a Silver Ribbon Partner. Bloomex generously supports CBCF through the October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Holiday and Mother’s Day campaigns.  Bloomex also provides CBCF with beautiful flowers and gift baskets for its many volunteers, supporters, Run Directors and special events.

Gift it Up Inc. is a homegrown Edmonton company that provides custom-made gift baskets to the residents of the area. Officially founded in 2017 but with over 10 years of experience in the craft, they source only the finest ingredients for their products.

If you’d like to support a small start-up, this company is a great place to start. Every order is literally made-to-order, so you can rest assured of the product’s freshness.

While they have over 70 different premade themed gift baskets to choose from, there are only 6 themed fruit basket options available. We would have preferred to have seen more variety for fruit baskets offered, but it does help narrow down your choices fairly well.

We like their premium option, aptly named “Soothing Touch” because it comes with a variety of non-fruit snacks such as artisan bread cookies, salmon pate, and cheese, just to name a few. It even has locally made products such as Albertan tortilla chips, wine jelly, and beef jerky.

If you want a simpler option, the “Fresh Fruit” basket contains a basic assortment of fruit but includes gourmet popcorn and pretzel crisps. This is laid out in a 12″ wicker basket, wrapped up and tied with a bow.

For themed fruit baskets, be prepared that substitutions may occur, depending on the availability of some products. But don’t worry, they’ll let you know beforehand if there are any changes.

Gift it Up Inc. likewise specializes in creating custom gift baskets, so you can flair it up as you please! Each basket is wrapped with finesse and finished off with a handmade decorative bow.

Before your order is delivered, a photo will be sent to ensure that you approve of the final look and design. While they do charge delivery fees, it will be hand-delivered to your chosen destination so you can rest easy knowing it gets there safe.

Customer Reviews

Gift it Up is known for its personalized service and personal touches that keep customers coming back. Kara, one of their clients, shares her thoughts:

“I wanted to thank you for the wonderful gift you put together for my in-laws. She was thrilled and loved everything that you picked out. She was so happy to see everything sourced local and will highly recommend people contact you. She said it was so beautiful she did not want to take it apart”

Gourmet Baskets by Kathi was founded in 1998 by Kathi Sheedy when she designed gift baskets for her father’s company. Today, she serves the greater Edmonton area with uniquely crafted products, both for individuals and corporations.

What we like best about Gourmet Baskets by Kathi is that she will prioritize using products or ingredients produced locally, whether in Edmonton or anywhere in Canada. However, she will also use international products if the client prefers, or if it needs to fit into the theme.

Her baskets are geared towards the higher end of the spectrum, with high-quality ingredients to match. Each branded item that’s included will be carefully chosen to keep in line with the luxury standards.

We also like that Gourmet Baskets by Kathi is willing to creatively deviate from using a traditional basket to hold the items. She can likewise include small personal touches such as a gift card, custom color ribbon, and even corporate branded keepsakes.

One of her unique themed baskets is for new-mothers-to

-be, aptly named the “Post Partum Basket”. This includes everything the expecting mother needs when coming home from the hospital, such as healthy fruits, breastfeeding snacks, vitamins, and other essentials.

Gourmet Baskets by Kathi is also known for being able to come through quickly on rush orders and is more than happy to have clients add her on her speed dial. She also willingly donates to charities and organizations, such as a fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy and to help raise money for local firefighters.

With over three decades of experience and a wide array of products, Gourmet Baskets by Kathi is one of our top choices for a fruit basket in Edmonton.

Customer Reviews

Gourmet Baskets by Kathi provides excellent service and is the main reason she has a solid following. One of her regular customers, Ted Bradshaw, shares:

“We have used Kathi for the past two seasons to deliver Thanksgiving baskets to our clients. We are exceptionally happy with the quality and have received nothing but praise from our clients.”

John Bodnar, another customer, also adds:

“Working with Gourmet Baskets by Kathi is a simple and easy. Call her up and she looks after everything! Incredible service and very professional!”

Shy Bhasin, a customer, was in need of a basket for her best friend’s daughter’s birthday. She turned to Specially Made for help and has nothing but praise for the service and outcome. She shares:

“Mei did a wonderful job!! I was being picky and she got all the things I asked for and switched things around that I didn’t like! She was super understanding, kind and accomodating….just a real pleasure to deal with. I can tell she works really hard to please her customers. And her work is just so gorgeous…she did everything so creatively!! She was great and would recommend this company to all my friends!! Thanks Mei!! Bless your heart!! “

Rodney Hatcher, another customer, highly recommends Specially Made. Let’s listen to his story:

“If you are struggling to think of/find a great gift for someone you care about, stop looking because you’ve found your solution. Specially made is by far the best place to go for custom gift baskets. The owner, Mei, is a dream to work with. She knows exactly which questions to ask to get to the heart of what you’re trying to find for someone. Not only is she thoughtful when putting everything together, but incredibly hardworking…I know exactly where I’m going the next time I need a gift basket either personally or professionally.”
