The Ultimate Canadian Gift Guide
Funny Sweatshirt
This t-shirt is made by LouGiftz on Etsy! If you're shopping for someone with a sense of humour, might I suggest you take a look through the whole shop? There's some funny stuff! There's a big selection of sweatshirts, t-shirts, candles and mugs.
Glitter Dough
This would be such a fun gift for Christmas morning! Keep the kids occupied for a while creating things with the glitter dough from Little Larch. The one pictured, is the Mermaid version, but they have a lot of different ones available without glitter too. They are created with plant based ingredients and scented with essential oils.
Seed Bombs
These are a fun idea! Wildflower seed bombs by FuschiaDesignsShop on Etsy. Along with seed bombs, Jennifer also sells seed packages, flower seeds, herb seeds and vegetable seeds.
Mint Cleaning Dragon's Den Bundle
You may have seen them on Dragon's Den, but Mint is taking the cleaning scene by storm. Shop their Dragon's Den bundle or other bundles for easy gifting. They are make in Canada using natural ingredients.
Villager Puzzles
I recently came across Villager Puzzles on Instagram and knew I had to include them in this year's gift guide! They are a woman-owned Canadian company based on Vancouver Island. They also support women artists. Take a look at all the beautiful puzzles. Any one of them would make a great gift!
Chipotle Infused Maple Syrup
Know someone that loves hot honey? Then they'll probably love this Chipotle infused maple syrup from Wabanaki. They've got other flavours too. Like bourbon, whiskey, elderberry, rum, cedar and more.
Vaz Art Gallery Calendar
This is actually a local to me artist! I love the vibrancy of her art and seeing familiar looking landscapes. You can preorder a 2027 calendar featuring a collection of her favourite paintings from this past year.
Scrunchies
Scrunchies make a fabulous gift! These organic waffle cotton ones from LOLScrunchCo look so cozy and comfortable. If you take a look around the shop, you'll see there is an endless selection of scrunchies to choose from.
Shower Steamers
By now you must have heard about how great shower steamers are? These ones from Nature Bee are made in Canada and use all natural ingredients! They have three scents to choose from or can be purchased in a variety pack.
Lip Balm
The lip balms from Queenbalm would be such a hit with tweens! All the flavours seem yummy. It's hard to pick just one!.
Flash Fuel Instant Coffee Packets
Coffee on the go made easy with these single serve coffee packets from Canadian Heritage Roasting Co.
Frasier Fir Soy Candle
I can practically smell this through the computer screen! Serendipity Soy Candles has a huge selection of soy candles.
Attitude Hand Soap
Attitude is a Canadian brand that sell all sorts of home cleaning products as well as personal care products. Their products are EWG Verified. They have a selection of holiday scented hand soaps that I think would make wonderful gifts.
Cocktail Bombs
I have never seen these before but it's a really fun idea for the person who loves cocktails! These cocktail bombs from Poseidn make it so easy to make a delicious cocktail. Simply drop the bomb into 1.5oz of vodka, stir, then add 6.5 oz of water, then enjoy with ice!
Fruit Syrup and Jam Gift
How about a fruit syrup and jam gift set from Summerland Sweets? A taste of the Okanagan. They've got other gift packages available too!
Edible Flowers Seed Packets
The seed packets from To & From Gift Co. are stunning! I think any of them would make a great gift, but the edible flowers seed packet is especially fun. Free shipping on orders of $50 or more within Canada.
Sourdough Starter
Perfect for the friend that has been saying they want to try their hand at sourdough! This organic dehydrated sourdough starter is made by TorontoSourdoughMama.
Solid Perfume/Colognes
I love the idea of this solid perfume from 828 Aroma! Perfect for the frequent traveler. They even have a quiz to help find a signature scent. Great if you know your gift recipient really well. (Or you need a gift for yourself! ;))
Dumpling Candles
Oh my gosh, how cute are these dumpling candles from Artket Goods? These are available scented or unscented and with or without the steamer basket. They've got other fun candles and drinkware too if you don't think dumplings are cute. Lol.
Calendula Soap for Sensitive Skin
Fresh Suds Soapery hand-make vegan, palm-free bar soap with 42%+ olive oil in every bar. Everything seems to be getting smaller these days, so they made their bars bigger and kept the price the same! Love that!
Honey Fudge
What a decadent treat this honey fudge would be for your recipient! Made by Rosewood Wine, they sell wine, meads, honey products and candles.
Beanie Hats
I'm loving these beanie hats from Newbornlander! They're handmade in Canada and there are all sorts of patterns available. They range in size from 0-6 months to adult.

You can't tell me this doesn't sound delicious?! The dark chocolate & sea salt caught my eye, but Klondike Kettle Corn makes a ton of other delicious popcorn flavours and popcorn seasonings! These are made in Whitehorse, Yukon. Check it out!
Squish Vegan Candy
Who doesn't know a candy lover? These ones from Squish are vegan so your vegan friends can enjoy it too! Grab a bag of Squish vegan candy and your recipient will love you forever.
Smart Sip Cream Co.
For the person who loves their morning coffee, Smart Sip makes a fun, useful gift! This woman-owned business in British Columbia makes powdered creamers, with flavours like Vanilla Ice Cream and Caramel Cloud. Each serving contains 3g of fibre and zero sugar. Pair a bag with a cute mug for a thoughtful gift they can enjoy long after Christmas.
Petit Lem Pajamas
Petit Lem makes super cozy pajamas and their holiday styles are out now on Well.ca! They also have other holiday wear, not just pajamas. They pride themselves on using organic cotton and recycled polyester.
