Best holiday gift ideas from Canadian brands


Franc 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt and High Rose Jogger

Sweatsuit from Franc

I absolutely adore this 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt and High Rose Jogger combo.

The materials are extremely soft, and so cozy to wear in and out of the house.

If your giftee is more into the wide leg trend, their Wide Leg Pant are my fave ever sweatpants, and they would also go really well with the 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt!

Merry Holiday Kit from Manmade

Merry Holiday Kit from Manmade

For the man in your life, this Merry Holiday Kit from Montreal-based brand is the perfect functional holiday gift idea.

The limited-edition kit comes with 4 boxer briefs and 2 pairs of socks, and you can choose the sizing for both the briefs and the socks.

Their briefs are made with modal, which is three times more breathable than cotton, and they also feature a horizontal fly, no seams, and an innovative “Mansack” for ergonomic support.

Bonsai from Bonsai Store

If you’re shopping for a plant mom or dad, a bonsai is such a fantastic holiday gift idea.

If you haven’t heard of bonsai, it’s a Japanese art of artificially stunting the growth of trees.

It results in the cutest miniature trees that are super aesthetically-pleasing!

Bonsai Store is a local Newmarket-based business that has everything you need for bonsai growing, from the bonsais themselves to the pots and accessories.

A bonsai is such a unique holiday gift idea for any plant lovers, and it’ll last beyond an entire lifetime if they take care of it well.

All of their bonsai trees are stunning, but I especially adore the Juniper, Chinese Elm, Hinoki Cypress, and Japanese Maple bonsai trees.

Galerie au Chocolat

Chocolate from Galerie au Chocolat

You can’t go wrong with sweets as a holiday gift, especially if it’s chocolate.

Galerie au Chocolat is an amazing chocolate company based out of Montreal, and they make their delicious gourmet confections using Belgian chocolate.

They use local and imported ingredients for their artisanal chocolates, including maple from Quebec, cream from Ontario, and Canadian butter!

They’ve got tons of chocolates and confections that are perfect for gifting, like their amazing caramel-filled milk chocolate snowmen and their white and dark chocolate peppermint candy bark.

You’ll even find sugar-free and vegan options, which is really great for your friends with dietary restrictions!


YVR Cookie

Cookies from YVR Cookie

Cookies are another great holiday gift idea for your sweet tooth friends, especially if they’re epic ones from Vancouver-based YVR Cookie.

They make handmade, gourmet stuffed cookies using quality ingredients, with a rotating menu that changes up weekly.

Opt for a box with seasonal flavours like their Peppermint Fudge Brownie or White Chocolate Cranberry, or go for staples like their Oreo Lava Cake or Cookie Butter Skor.

They even have a gluten-friendly Chocolate Chunk cookie that’s a great option for your gluten-intolerant friends!

Zavida Coffee Roasters

Coffee from Zavida Coffee Roasters

As someone who is obsessed with coffee, I will always appreciate coffee as a gift.

Coffee from Zavida Coffee Roasters is an amazing holiday gift idea, because they’ve got so many interesting flavoured coffees to choose from!

From Jamaican Rum, to Bourbon Praline Cheesecake, to Cookie Dough, you’ll find plenty of fun and funky flavours worth gifting to your coffee-addicted friend or family member.

And if your giftee has a Keurig machine, they also offer K-Cups.

Satisfy the tea drinker in your life with Firebelly Tea’s incredible teas, all made without preservatives or additives.
