About Us

Welcome to Simply Said, an environmentally friendly line introduced by The Treasure Chest in April 2007.

The Treasure Chest began as a dream and vision in December 2000 and after seven years our solely family run business has grown and flourished.

The new Simply Said line was introduced because of our desire to promote the work of very talented people and our concern for the health of our planet and the quality of life for my grandchildren and their grandchildrens’ generations. Everything contained in our Simply Said line is consumable, recyclable and reusable. No mass produced ingredients are used in our gifts and most are painstakingly handpicked or handcrafted by artisans passionate about their craft.

We are a home based business located in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada and have operated an online shop, The Treasure Chest Gifts ‘n’ Baskets, since the inception of our business in 2000. With the love and support, not to mention invaluable assistance, of very talented family members, The Treasure Chest has grown and expanded throughout our seven years of business.

We ship worldwide and value our clients in Australia, Singapore, Middle East, South America, U.S., U.K., Canada….. and even include members of U.S. naval ships as our customers. Wherever there is a computer with an internet connection, The Treasure Chest will ensure the gift ordered arrives as requested on time…..every time.
