7 of the Best Gift Delivery Services in Winnipeg

Gifts are a great way to show how much you love and treasure family and friends. Thanks to the growth of the Internet, presents of all sorts–both physical and digital–can now be sent through delivery services.

And while many online shopping platforms and electronic wallets offer “send a gift” options for more convenient sending, nothing beats the thrill of selecting items and customising them in a box or basket before delivering them to a certain person.

So, if you’re looking for the best gift delivery services in Winnipeg, read on! Our FAQ section below will also give you additional information on availing of these services.

How much do gift delivery services cost on average?

The costs of gift delivery services primarily depend on the items being sent, the size and weight of the package, labour fees, your chosen courier, and where you live.

Additional prices may also stem from where the gift is being sent and the total amount of gifts availed. 

For example, some gift stores offer free shipping above $100, although delivery should only be within Canada. Supplementary fees may be required for parcels to be delivered to the USA or internationally.

Here is a table of some common gift ideas and minimum delivery rates you might find in Winnipeg’s gift shops, their average price range and starting delivery fees:

TYPE OF GIFT	AVERAGE PRICE	STARTING DELIVERY RATE
Flowers	$30	$68
Chocolates and candies	$82	$30
Stuffed toys	$29	$60
Jewelry	$450	$13
Fruit basket	$46	$44
Gourmet basket	$25	$12.50
Wine and cheese	$59	$12.50

If you’re looking for the perfect edible arrangements for all sorts of occasions, we think Edible Arrangments is the best stop for you.

This gift store primarily serves a mouthwatering selection of gift-friendly treats such as fruit, chocolate, candies, and baked goods. They can be arranged in platters, bowls, baskets, and vases.

Our personal favourites are the smoothies and fruit cup! For us, these are healthy and delicious gifts ideal for your fitness-loving family and friends, or any loved one craving refreshing and delicious treats.

Besides being delicious, we like that these arrangements are freshly made. We can imagine how special recipients must feel when they receive their items in quality condition.

Now, what we didn’t like about this gift store is that it can be inconsistent when it comes to the presentation quality of its gift packages.

Another downside for us is hearing reports of some of staff members’ unprofessionalism when dealing with customer criticisms about missing gift items. Sadly, we’ve heard of surprises being spoiled just because a gift was delivered either too early or too late.

We think that management may need to remind their team of the valuable role they play in creating memorable experiences for people. 

Customer Reviews

Beautiful fruit arrangements that stay fresh

“Excellent service for out-of-town deliveries. Last year a huge fruit bouquet was delivered to my family for Christmas. It arrived fresh, beautiful, and yummy. This week I ordered a small box sent to a senior in a residence. She was thrilled and said it was beautiful. Excellent service, what more can I say!” – April Vance

Great selection of delicious gift arrangements

“Beautiful and delicious-looking arrangements. Very nice idea for fruit lovers, and people who don’t need anything.  I have received a package, and just gave one to singing, and both were very appreciated and enjoyed.  I was able to think up this idea and have it delivered by supper time, all in one day.   Very highly recommended for a unique gift!  I was when able to phone on my order to ensure same-day service.   Thank you Edible Arrangements!” – Kim

If you’re looking to pair your edible gift platters or vases with fresh flowers, Osborne Florist is the place to go.

Since 1971, it has provided numerous flower arrangements for all sorts of occasions, ranging from weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and funerals.

What we like about this florist is that it accommodates orders for other celebrations and regular days. This means you can have flowers delivered to your loved ones on any random day and hopefully make their day just a bit brighter!

It’s always great when a shop offers suitable alternatives for their regular offerings. Should you have family or friends who aren’t fans of flowers, Osborne Florist also has a wonderful curation of decorative house plants that will surely liven up any space.

A word of caution, however: we’ve heard of instances where the actual arrangements aren’t up to par with the advertised samples on their website. 

We’ve also heard reports about missing items (balloons, stuffed animals, etc.), sub-standard arrangements, and customers receiving the wrong flowers.

Upon checking, delivery services also seem to be inconsistent. We’ve heard some client stories about their items not arriving on the set schedule.

Hopefully, management is already working on improvements in terms of their product quality and customer service.

If you’re looking for an alternative gift store and delivery service with floral arrangements, we found that King’s Florist at Portage Avenue is a great option.

For one, the store offers an extensive variety of flowers for different occasions. Whether you want roses for your significant other, sunflowers for a summer gift basket, or floral centerpieces for your wedding, this florist will likely have what you need.

We also love how the shop offers floral arrangements ranging from blooms in vases to rustic wreaths, romantic bouquets, and quirky gift baskets. 

The shop also offers balloons, chocolates, and plushies to add sweeter and more personal touches to the floral gifts.

On the downside, we were told that some orders had old and wilting flowers in them. The good that came out of this was seeing the shop’s willingness to take responsibility and improve their service.

And speaking of delivery, we’ve heard reports of deliveries coming in late. We hope management has already tweaked their operations strategy to address this, as they are in an industry where time is always of the essence.

As a whole, what we do admire about King’s Florist is that it is constantly leveraging customer feedback to improve the overall experience. Given this, we’re quite confident that they’ll continue to take criticisms well and use these as a way to be better at what they do.

Customer Reviews

Love the store’s huge array of flowers

“I like this store as it has all kinds of flowers and the staff was so helpful. It was time to close, but she stayed for over 25 minutes to help me with the gift flowers. I am very thankful for the lady who helped me out that day. For sure I will come back. The other thing I want to mention is that the price is also nice here.” – Ela

Excellent staff gave me great gift ideas

“Friendly staff, fresh flowers, and hassle-free suggestions. What more do you need from a florist? Thank you for reminding me about Mother’s Day which is next month and for offering to call closer to the date!” – Kamil Lark

Lakewood Florist might initially seem like “just another flower gift shop”, but we chose to include it in our list because it offers other fun gift baskets that go well with their flower arrangements.

We’re a fan of this shop’s gourmet and junk food gift baskets, which we think are perfect for your loved ones craving delicious and indulgent snacks! Nothing spells “love” more than someone’s favourite comfort food, in our opinion.

In terms of floral arrangements, we appreciate the fact that Lakewood Florist does special arrangements for holidays including Hanukkah, Passover, Kwanzaa, National Boss Day, and Professional’s Day.

We think that this is a thoughtful gesture for specific cultures and groups. It shows how they are willing to go out of their way to customise floral and gift arrangements suitable for various celebrations and beliefs, even if not everyone in Winnipeg observes them.

In terms of delivery, we found that the shop is punctual in shipping gift orders. While there were times that packages were delayed due to uncontrollable circumstances, the team continues to commit themselves to the promptness and constant improvement.

We did hear that there have been a handful of issues regarding honoring coupons. We think it would be best if personnel are constantly updated about ongoing promos and coupons so that they can handle these properly when a customer claims them.

Customer Reviews

A prompt and excellent gift store overall

“Very happy to have found Dan and Tanice this week. I needed an urgent request and they graciously accommodated me. Top-notch professional service. They asked the right questions, attentive to details. I will be back!” – Paul Guimond

Highly recommended for floral gifts.

“Lakewood Florist was very professional in handling my order. Although not all the flowers in the arrangement I selected were in stock, the florist was able to arrange a piece that was even better than what I had originally ordered! It says a lot when a company goes above and beyond amidst a pandemic. Not only was the florist attentive and took the care to call to ensure my needs were met, but also was very kind and ensured my safety was kept in mind with curbside pickup. I will definitely order from Lakewood Florist again, and highly recommend this shop for your arrangement needs!” – Hailey Kostusik

If you’re looking for gifts that last longer than the other presents mentioned here so far, Small Mercies offers an excellent array of preserved flowers, scents, candles, jewelry, coffee, and bath and body kits.

We think these rustic gift options will surely make any recipient feel pampered and special!

Upon checking, these gifts are also customisable, which makes them more unique. We like that you can create a kit that reminds you of the recipient, which is a meaningful form of personalisation.

We recommend looking into the store’s card selection as well. These cards have interesting doodles and photographs with witty statements that will make whoever you’re giving them to delighted!

Since this store’s items are mostly personalised, expect slightly higher prices. However, we think these are worth paying for as you will be getting presents that are aesthetically pleasing, not to mention long-lasting.

And from what we’ve found, gifts are packaged securely and beautifully! These are delivered as fast as possible so recipients can get them on the right time and date!

One slight downside that we’ve identified, however, is that the dried flower selection is quite limited. That said, we suggest adding on other dried flowers to make your bouquet fuller and bigger.
