I would suggest unique gift baskets, which operates out of Vancouver B.C. You can order all kinds of gift baskets from their website, and since they are in B.C., delivery should be no problem. Their website is at http://www.uniquegiftbaskets.ca/

Alcohol is Provincially controlled in Canada, so wine is not an option. Go to regular sites such as Sears, Futureshop, Amazon.... or simply get something there and ship it UPS, SameDay, Purolator, post office express or whatever....
you'll pay shipping. Mark contents as 'gift' to help avoid duties (not many anyway sine North American Free Trade Treaty

I do not believe Unique Gift Baskets (senlin's suggestion) does alcohol, in any case it is far, far away in Vancouver. BUT I DO BELIEVE YOU ARE IN LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! British Columbia has become a noted wine growing area and now makes some of the world's best wines (one of them won this year's London, England Wine Show competition). In fact Grand Forks is located not too far (about 175km) from B.C.'s best wine appellation (Okanagan Valley). B.C. alcohol laws are also (like in most of Canada) somewhat cockamamie but they do allow direct-to-consumer sale from the wineries and from VQA stores (stores that sell only
appellation controlee B.C. grown wines). Give a call to the British Columbia Wine Institute (1-800-661-2294) after 9AM Pacific time and ask them about what the situation is for VQA stores or individual wineries or maybe even independent businesses making a gift basket with B.C. wine(s) and delivering it and get names of those located in Grand Falls (no VQA stores there but perhaps there is an independent who buys from the provincial alcohol monopoly store there) or shipping to there.

(Meanwhile you can peruse B.C. wineries - perhaps some of them do and promote gifts at their sites - at www.winebc.com.)

Good luck!

Yes, for lots of options, go to your favourite search engine, and instead of .com, type .ca.

Like Yahoo.ca Then, click on the little "search in Canada" bubble. It won't eliminate non-canadian websites, but it will limit them.

Many major American catalogue based retailers will ship to Canada.

In addition to that, here are some websites of stores in Canada. And yes, some of them have stores in the US.
