I truly love everything about the Holiday Season, but I also think that it is very important to support the local business community. In the spirit of this i have put together some gift ideas that allow you to do just that … support local businesses. Here are some great ideas for you, unfortunately these cannot be linked in one place in my Like to Know.It so I have placed a link below each item for you to shop.

Holiday Cards .. this is a classic idea and something that lets a person know that you are thinking about them without a large financial impact. During these uncertain times, why not reach out to those that matter to you and send them a note to make them smile. I personally like to design a custom holiday card and always use Westwood Printing for my design and printing services. Get your order or inquiry in today here: Westwood Printing
Cookie Kits / Baked Goods … Why not give the gift of sweets? Everyone loves to indulge during the holidays and one of the best ways to do this is by ordering a treat box from Baked By Shenifa. She also has cookie kits and Gingerbread Family kits if you are looking to gift someone with a fun activity. Get your order or inquiry in now here: Baked By Shenifa
Hand Crafted Rainbows … What started as a a project to give back has quickly become one of the most coveted hand crafted items. Koreena has designed these beautiful rainbows in all different sizes which are the perfect decor accent to gift someone. Get your order in today here: Giving Sundays
Customized Ornaments … giving the gift of an ornament or even a personalized ornament is one of my favourite traditions. Giving Sundays has teamed up with Reed Home for a beautiful custom ornament, check out their website for options. This is a tradition you will not regret. Orders yours today here: Reed Home Co.
Hand Painted Glasses … Hand crafted items are always special so why not some hand painted glasses. These and so many other hand crafted and artisan items are available at the sweetest shop in Osprey Village. Shop this and more here: Coastal Collective
Jars By Jodi… if giving baked goods is not the right option for you then why not give a Jar with all of the ingredients ready to go. Jars by Jodi are the perfect option and they have ready made ingredients measured out and ready to go. They have the most delicious holiday flavours and so many more great gift ideas in store.

Skincare … the cold weather is always a reminder to all of us to take care of our skin and what better gift to give than good skincare.
