Gift Baskets Delivered to UBC, SFU, BCIT, Capilano University, Emily Carr University and Campuses Across British Columbia
Sending a child to university is a proud moment shadowed by a quieter one. You find yourself wondering whether they are eating properly, sleeping enough, or getting through a cold in a room a long way from home. A care package is a small and tangible answer to that.
Our student baskets are filled with fresh fruit, baked goods and nutritious snacks, alongside fruit juice, mineral water, tea or coffee. Every basket is customizable. Tell us their favourite foods or fruit varieties, or ask us to add multivitamins, pain relief or basic toiletries — give us a budget to work with and we will build around it.
How Campus Deliveries Travel
Every campus order travels by courier. We ship with Purolator or UPS rather than scheduled-delivery services, because a basket arriving at a depot on a Wednesday should not wait until Friday to reach a residence. Shipping is calculated at checkout by destination and weight.
Orders placed before 11:00 AM Pacific Time are dispatched the same business day. Orders placed after that dispatch the next business day.
Chosen to Arrive as Well as They Leave
Because these baskets travel, the contents are selected for the journey. Fruit is chosen for firmness — apples, pears and citrus — rather than soft varieties that bruise in transit. Cheeses are aged and shelf-stable, needing no refrigeration until opened. Student baskets contain no alcohol, so no adult signature is required on delivery, which matters when a parcel is going to a residence mailroom rather than a front door.
Adding Your Own Touch
A greeting card is included with every basket, and we can print your message on it. If you would like to add something specific, or build a basket from scratch, our custom gift service lets you choose the container and the contents — though baskets containing alcohol can only be delivered within British Columbia and are not suitable for campus addresses.
Please include a mobile number for your student so the courier can reach them. For urgent orders, call 604 514 8315.
