This year, as I thought about putting together gift guides for the holidays, I knew I wanted to curate a round-up of gift ideas from small businesses to help you shop for the people in your life. We all know that small businesses have been through a lot the last few years, so if shopping small is an option for you, I’d encourage you to consider that route!
However, I also wanted to curate some helpful Amazon gift guides, as I know that is helpful to many!
What you’ll find in the gift guide below:
- 11 gift ideas from small businesses
- 10 Amazon gift guides (stocking stuffer ideas for him & her, gifts for the cook, gifts for the homebody, gifts for well-being, & more!)
My hope in creating this guide, is that it will remove a bit of the stress of the ideating and shopping for gifts.
So pour yourself a coffee or a tea, put on your sweatpants, and browse through and shop from this guide at your leisure. Let me do the heavy lifting, as you check things off your to-do list.
I own, and absolutely love, all 11 items on this list. I’ve done the quality check for you and am proud to vouch for any of the items included! Some of these brand founders have become friends, because I’m such a fan of the businesses and products they’ve created and the humans they are. Which makes me even more excited to share this roundup with you.
Also worth nothing: for a number of the brands included, I’ve reached out and asked for a discount code. In high times of spending, I know that any money saved goes a long way. I’ve included any discounts available below.
Lastly, I wanted to keep this gift guide simple and also fairly broad in who the items might be gifted to. Men, women, partners, in-laws, grandparents, friends – most items on this list would be appreciated by all.
11 Thoughtful Gifts From Small Businesses Available in Canada
Fable Mugs
If you haven’t heard of Fable, let me introduce you to one of my all-time favourite brands! Fable is a Canadian-owned and operated homeware brand and their pieces are beautiful and of the highest quality. You can read my review of the Fable dish-ware here and my review of the Fable glassware here.
In my opinion, their mugs are perfect – the size, the weight, the look, and the feel are exactly what you want a mug to be. A set of these mugs would make a great gift for the coffee or tea lover in your life! They come in a number of different colour-ways, which is a nice way to customize the gift for the person receiving them.
