This holiday season, more than ever before, I’m making an effort to shop small and shop local for my holiday gifts. Small businesses are struggling with Covid-19, and I wanted to share some of my favourite brands and shops to support this season. They’re all run by wonderful, passionate people who love what they do! You can click on the photo to visit the brands and shops below.

So let’s dive in!
