You know, a restaurant in the west end usually doesn't deliver in the east, so "GTA" doesn't help. I asked because someone on the board may be able to make a valuable suggestion if just we knew the main intersection. You may find more options if you were willing to share that information.
As a relatively new mother (with a 13-month-old), I can definitely confirm how useful it is to have prepared food in the house during those first few weeks, or even months!! Alas, I thought I was ahead of the game, cooking and freezing dinners before, but they didn't last nearly long enough... If you could also share how much you are looking to spend, that would be helpful, too.

I actually don't have a specific person in mind in this case. When my supervisor asked me to gather "creative" gift ideas last week, the creative gift idea sample that he gave is that our colleague in Calgary once ordered luxurious breakfast to a stafff who just had little baby at home. I therefore thought about asking whether we could find the same kind of service in GTA. Maybe I could find out what exactly our Calgary colleague ordered first?
The budget that my supervisor goes with these type of occasions are $50-$200.

Well, I would probably go to Summerhill Market and purchase a variety of prepared foods for dinners and lunches, and see if they could put together a fruit bowl, to go with it. They also have some delicious treats like banana bread.
Check out this page. They have a variety of pre-designed "hampers," or you can make your own:

And, delivery is possible!

You're welcome! Let us know if your boss ends up doing this and how it works out.

re: chutchut
Just two more suggestions for consideration -- you could think about hiring a personal chef. We used to do this in the past when I was working. We would agree on a few dishes. She would come to our house with all groceries and cooking equipment and would prepare, package the food with cooking/heating instructions and store in fridge or freezer. We also gave this as a gift to a new mom a few years ago. I believe you can also hire one to cater meals, parties etc. To find a personal chef, try www.cdnpca.ca (Canadian Personal Chef Association).
You can also arrange for pre-prep of various dishes through Supperworks. You can put the meals together yourself at one of their locations, or they will do the work for you (www.supperworks.com).

Thanks!
I saw http://mamaluv.com/en/ introduction from http://www.toronto.com/article/700216... today. It looks like a good idea and I might try it myself someday.
The new parents
The holiday season can be hectic, especially with a new little one. Give new parents the gift of free time now or in the New Year with hassle-free pre-made dinners. You choose a one-to-seven day tailor-made catered package (or a long-term package) and have gourmet meals prepared in advance and dropped off to be enjoyed any time. Deluxe packages include the addition of soups and desserts. For the time-starved, it’s an idea that’s as delicious as it is practical. (Two-day Deluxe Package, $118, Mamaluv.com)
