It’s the holiday season and we are in gifting mode! This year, something our team has all agreed on is that we want to support local as much as possible through the holidays, so we have been buying and wishing for goodies from some of our favourite Calgary-based businesses.
Down below is a gift guide with some rad local businesses and our picks that make beautiful gifts on their own, or can be mixed and matched to make sweet gift boxes. This guide is perfect for the holidays, but can also come in handy when you’re looking for a little something for your bridal party!
The best thing about this list? All of these Calgarian businesses are owned by women! Check out the guide, and let us know if we missed your favourite local brand. We are always down to try new local goodies!
