Who We Are and Why We Exist.

Our hearts are heavy but our spirits are inspired. We continue to be sensitive about how to show up for you, our valued Guests, your friends & your family.

We are created to be disciples of happiness, support, encouragement & hope and to continue to support you, and work with you as you support others. Our thoughts & prayers are with you, your family & friends, and your businesses.

We are conflicted about promoting our services right now but we fall back on the fact that we’ve always stated that we exist to help you foster relationships. How can we do this now? What support can we be?

These are new days! It’s time to pivot with the change in times. Each of us has the chance to think differently, live differently, work differently and even relate differently to one another. My hope is that COVID-19 and the struggle will bring us closer. My prayer is that we will adjust as a human race and value each other a wee bit more, value life for what it is … PRECIOUS.

Let’s allow COVID-19 to change us! To change us for the betterment of our world, and our relationships. What else is the meaning of life if it’s not about relationships!?

At times like this we can be your vehicle to deliver a care package & gift box/basket to someone who is isolating, or give a gift to a family member or coworker that is feeling discouraged, worried & fearful.

We are here to serve you. Let us help!

We’re just a phone call away to help you 403-201-5021 and fr0m across Canada our Toll Free # is: 1-(877)-49-GIFTS (44387)

Here we are, right in the heart of Summer 2021. The past 18 months saw unprecedented challenges, yet we were astoundingly inspired by the resilience, tenacity and kindness expressed by our valued guests and community.

We commend all of you for persevering through such challenging times. As we are created to be disciples of happiness, support, encouragement and hope, we eagerly rose to work with you in support of your loved ones. We saw an increased capacity to express love and connect which became a distinct opportunity to create memorable moments through unique and innovative gifting. As a result, TGD has grown, thanks to you, our valued guests and for that, we are eternally grateful.

Over the past 18 months we have evolved, shifted our thinking, adjusted our perspectives and the ways we relate to one another. We have become more sensitive and compassionate, appreciating life and the lives of one another. We have allowed ourselves to be touched and moved by how fragile life truly is and how important it is to cherish each precious moment. As we move forward together, TGD is excited to continue to partner with our guests, both existing and new, to strengthen and rebuild both relationship and community.

About the Owner

Since participating in a selective entrepreneurship program as a young adult, Noreen Ward wanted to start her own business. In 2002, the oil and gas business she worked for closed its doors, and she leaped at her friend’s proposition to start up a gift basket company. Within two years, Noreen had bought out the whole business.

Each day in her tiny basement suite, she would roll up her bed (a camping mat) to make room for baskets and inventory. In 2004, TGD was officially online and catered to personal and corporate audiences. Eventually, she moved into a larger home, but when she couldn’t squeeze any more baskets into the bathtub :), she moved the company into an industrial warehouse space (2013).

By 2017, Noreen had grown the business to five employees, including her own in-house courier. She continues to expand the business and aims to become an innovative leader in the gifting industry.
