When you buy from Canadian brands, your money stays local and supports businesses in your community. Checking where something comes from before you buy it is a small habit that makes a real difference.
Holiday shopping is where that choice adds up. You’re buying for more people in a few short weeks than at any other time of year, so every name on your list is a chance to support a homegrown brand. If you’re not sure where to begin, the 11 Canadian gift ideas below cover everyone from the coffee lover to the chocolate fan this holiday season.
Everist The Holiday BonBon
Price: $40.00
Everist packed four travel minis of its best-sellers into this set: shampoo, deep conditioner, body wash, and an exfoliating body wash concentrate. Its bond repair technology helps strengthen hair, while 30% glycerin and 18% aloe vera add hydration and soothe dry skin and scalp. Every formula has a fresh herbal-citrus scent and is vegan and sulfate-free. It’s also TSA-approved, which makes it a great stocking stuffer for anyone travelling over the holidays.
GROSCHE Dublin Stainless Steel French Press
Price: $74.98
This 1-litre French press from GROSCHE brews two to three large cups at once, perfect for the coffee lover who always goes back for a second cup. The double-wall 18/8 stainless steel keeps coffee hot longer, and a dual-layer mesh filter keeps grounds out of the mug. It’s dishwasher safe and works for loose-leaf tea, too. Plus, each purchase funds more than 50 days of safe drinking water for someone in need.
Milk Jar Candle Co. Holly Diffuser
Price: $42.48
Milk Jar Candle Co.’s 4 oz Holly Diffuser blends cranberry, clove, and pine into a spiced, cider-like holiday scent, using phthalate-free fragrance oils. It comes with 20 fibre reeds and lasts more than five months, so the person you give it to will still be enjoying it in spring. Since there’s no flame to watch, it’s a thoughtful gift for a busy host.
LUVO Perfume Roll On Baumier Fir & Balsam Spruce
Price: $24.98
Fir and balsam spruce give this roll on perfume from LUVO a fresh, woodsy scent that suits the season. A coconut-derived oil base keeps it gentle on skin and helps the Grasse-sourced oils last longer. It’s small enough to toss in a purse for a quick touch-up on the go.
Buck Naked Soap Company Bath Bomb Collection
Price: $24.98
This bath bomb trio from Buck Naked Soap Company includes soothing Vanilla Chai, refreshing Eucalyptus + Himalayan Salt, and sweet Cotton Candy. Each one is hand-packed in small batches with natural colours and essential oils, and the set is vegan and Leaping Bunny certified. To make them last longer, cut or crush one and spread it over a few soaks.
Good Protein All-in-One Shake Eggnog
Price: $37.98
For the friend who’s already planning January workouts, this all-in-one shake tastes like a creamy glass of eggnog, with warm notes of vanilla and nutmeg. Made in Canada, it has 21 g of plant-based protein per scoop, plus fibre, vitamins, and probiotics in the same shake. It’s vegan and dairy-free, and a festive way to help them stick with their routine through the holidays.
Mala The Brand Scented Candle Mini Mistletoe
Price: $25.98
Mala The Brand’s Mistletoe candle brings the outdoors in, pairing fresh pine with spiced berries and holly. Its coconut-soy wax burns cleanly without the black soot you can get from paraffin, and the fragrance is free of phthalates and parabens. With 20 to 25 hours of burn time, this mini lasts through plenty of cozy evenings, and it’s just the right size to tuck into a gift basket.
Now Designs by Danica Shaped Tray Winterberry
Price: $25.98
This stoneware tray from Danica brings a festive touch to the table with its Winterberry design. It’s just the right size for a stack of shortbread or a plate of treats when friends drop by over the holidays. Pair it with a box of cookies and you’ve got a ready-made host gift.
Herschel Supply Anchor Plaid Organizer
Price: $34.98
This plaid organizer from Herschel Supply keeps the little things in one place, so cords, makeup, and pens stop disappearing into the bottom of a bag. The cheerful yellow plaid adds a nostalgic touch, and a side handle makes it simple to grab on the way out the door. It’s a practical gift for teens, commuters, and anyone who’s always asking to borrow a charger.
Eatable Gourmet Popcorn Jingle Bell Pops
Price: $9.98
Eatable’s Jingle Bell Pops make a sweet, shareable treat for the cozy days after the gifts are opened, with white chocolate, peppermint, and a little candy cane crackle in every handful. It’s made with 100% natural ingredients and is gluten-free. At under $10, you can grab a few bags when you’re buying for a whole office or a big extended family.
ChocXO Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups
Price: $7.98
ChocXO’s Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups are a rich, minty treat for anyone who loves dark chocolate, with a sweet white chocolate centre and a crunchy candy cane topping.
