I’ve gathered some of my favourite local (Vancouver made) products, perfect for gifting this holiday season or any season! If you’re not from Vancouver, most of these brands have an Etsy shop or shop on their website, but I highly recommend checking out your local craft markets and gift shops, buying local not only supports your local artists, it also helps the planet. No shipping, less packaging and waste, and you’ll feel good not supporting those giant corporations and supporting your local economy instead.
I already have some of those handmade beads from Marlowe beads, no matter what colour combination you get they go with just about every outfit. And I’ve read I See You I Am You by Casey Jo Loos a million times over, I classify it as modern poetry, but really it’s life advice, observations, realizations and generally just beautifully written. My friend Angie from Five15 creates beautiful art prints, pins and most recently, mugs! This holiday season, connect with a local artist, maker, creator and support their small business with a thoughtful gift for someone special in your life or treat yourself!
