A new gift and lifestyle shop is adding colour, creativity, and community connection to Martensville. The Busy Basket Store will celebrate its official grand opening on Friday, February 7, inviting residents to explore a thoughtfully curated space designed to make gifting easier, and more meaningful.
“Busy Basket Store is a new retail business dedicated to serving the everyday needs of Martensville residents while contributing positively to the local economy. Our grand opening event will mark the beginning of our commitment to providing quality products, friendly service, and a welcoming neighborhood shopping experience,” The Busy Basket Store’s Joyce Ojeifo, said.
At its heart, The Busy Basket Store is a gift shop with something for everyone. Located at the corner of Main Street and Centennial Drive North, next to 7-Eleven, The Busy Basket Store offers a wide selection of locally curated and Canadian-made items. Shoppers will find custom and grab-and-go gift baskets, home décor, beauty and wellness products, clothing and accessories, party supplies, balloons, and faith-inspired décor. The family-run business aims to be a year-round destination for personal gifting, while also serving as a convenient resource for local businesses looking for staff appreciation gifts, client thank-yous, milestone celebrations, event prizes, and more.
The shop features an eclectic mix of products, many of them handmade or sourced from small creators. The main retail space includes items such as scrapbooking supplies, natural pet treats, matching pet-owner apparel, plantable greeting cards, hand-poured candles, Christian gift items, upcycled art supplies, hand-blown glass jewelry, fidgets, and more.
An extension of the shop, known as Side B, offers quality clothing, makeup, lash clusters, press-on nails, hair accessories, specialty candy and chocolates, mini-Bluetooth speakers, chargers, pop culture collectibles, and additional gift items.
Having already made a strong impression with local shoppers, the store is quickly gaining popularity and earning rave reviews from satisfied customers.
Beyond retail, The Busy Basket Store places a strong emphasis on community connection. The business partners with local makers, supports Martensville causes, and plans to donate a portion of gift basket sales to charitable initiatives. The store also serves as a FedEx and UPS drop-off and pickup location and is one of the only helium providers in the area, adding everyday convenience for residents.
The February 7th grand opening marks an important milestone for the business and an opportunity for the community to officially welcome The Busy Basket Store to Martensville’s growing local business scene. Residents are encouraged to stop by, shop local, and explore what the store has to offer.
The Busy Basket Store is located at #3–7 Centennial Drive North. More information and updates can be found online at thebusybasket.ca or by following @tbbasketstore on social media.
