10 of the Best Local Gifts to Give This Holiday Season

Looking to make your holiday shopping practices a little more intentional? Supporting homegrown brands partially feels like a moral obligation, but when they’re this innovative and sought-after, the decision is easy.

Here, we name ten Canadian gifts on our own wishlists, from thoughtful beauty essentials to unique, locally-crafted jewellery.

Kara Yoo Oyster Shell Necklace

For the friend who loves the sea (or a plate of freshly-shucked oysters), this Vancouver-made necklace might already be sitting at the top of their wishlist. The pendant is crafted from sterling silver and gold-plated bronze, and hangs on a pure silk cord.

Mela & Kera Balayage Exceptionnel Smooth Ends Finishing Creme

A great hair day is never too far away—not with this in their bag. Stylist-trusted, Canadian-made and cruelty-free, this lightweight cream from Mela & Kera delivers an instant hydration boost to rough, dry ends. Plus, it’s the perfect size to toss into a tote before heading out the door.

Schaf Skincare The Full Reset

For the friend who can’t be bothered with a ten-step routine, this foolproof three-product ritual from Schaf might be the solution. Complete with a gentle cleanser, a peptide-infused serum and barrier-restoring moisturizer, this trio cuts the guesswork out of skincare.

Studio Rybko Goog Eternity Ring

A sculptural twist on a classic band, this ring from Canadian jewellery brand Studio Rybko is crafted from 14K gold and finished with hand-painted ceramic enamel. It comes in a variety of mood-boosting hues, and looks just as good solo as it does stacked.

Supernatural RE:SET Frequency Therapy

Give them the gift of a hard reset with a session of RE:SET Frequency Therapy at Supernatural, a serene, tech-forward wellness space in Toronto designed for deep unwinding. Nestled into a zero-gravity recliner, they’ll move through a cocoon of sound and gentle vibration that helps dial down stress, support better sleep and leave them feeling recalibrated.​

Fogo Island Workshops Washed Boards

Turn serving into a stylish affair. These washed boards from Fogo Island Workshops are made of yellow birch with a weathered finish, inspired by sun-bleached driftwood along Newfoundland shores.

Kotn Asymmetric Zip Sweater

For the friend who loves to layer up without sacrificing style, consider this ultra-soft, 100% cotton sweater. With a subtly diagonal zip closure, this piece is an elevated take on the everyday knit.

Jouviance Lip Duo

The ultimate lip-plumping duo, this set from Jouviance combines the Plump&Go (a vegan lip balm) and the PlumpFX (a volume-boosting serum akin to a hyaluronic acid shot) into one convenient present.

Rocky Bestsellers Bar Soap Set

This set brings four crowd-favourite scents—lemongrass, orange, pumpkin and lavender—into one discovery box. These bars swap plastic pumps for zero-waste luxury, a perfect gift for the friend upgrading their shower routine to be more chic and sustainable.

Jared Brown Diamond Geometric Spiral Earrings

Love a statement piece? These 18K white gold earrings from Jared Brown fit the bill. Covered in diamonds (a total of three carats!), these earrings hang off the ears in chic, face-framing spirals.
