Almonte Monthly Surprise

A great gift for any occasion

Maybe you want to mark a friend’s birthday, send a sick friend get well wishes, congratulate a neighbour on their new baby, celebrate seasonal festivities or send a care package ‘just because’. 

We have created a selection of goody bags as a monthly surprise to fit the bill.  Each package will be beautifully bagged with tissue and ribbon and we will include your personal message.

If being ordered to ship, the items will be packaged in a box.  Any of the following ‘goody bags’ can be made into a gift basket; however, an additional fee will apply.

We’re always trying to balance between keeping in popular favourites and sourcing new ones. Selections will invariably include some items not shown in our sample photos. Please just ask if you’d like more detail on your options!

Prices start at $50 and the sky is the limit.
