Fresh Flowers from Regency Florists

Let the friendly faces at Regency Florists help you bring the perfect floral touch to your host’s home. This season’s showstopper is “Home Sweet Home,” a beautiful floral centrepiece complete with a cabin that lights up. It makes the perfect addition at a table with friends gathered around for a festive dinner. Prefer plants? You can’t go wrong with a classic poinsettia!

Handmade Soap from Illbury + Goose

Gift your host a lump of coal that they'll actually enjoy!

Check out Illbury + Goose for dozens of great gift ideas! Shop their Apothecary lineup to discover handmade products locally produced in small batches. When it comes to soap, they have a unique array of scents made with Purdy Natural, like Matcha Green Tea or Clean Bee which is made with local honey and bee pollen. You can even play it cheeky with their seasonal Lump of Coal charcoal soap!

Festive Spirits from Union Ten Distilling

Just one of Union Ten's many gorgeously packaged gift boxes!

Union Ten’s recently reopened retail store is decked out for the holidays! If you want to make an impression, their holiday gift boxes are expertly curated collections of seasonal spirits. Try their Christmas Cream Hot Chocolate box or Rudolf’s Tipsy Spritzer gift box. You can’t go wrong with a bottle of Northern Cream liqueur or their Barrel Aged Old Fashioned bottled cocktail either!

Home Decor from Habitus

These illuminated houses from the Urbania collection add a warm touch to the home.

Step into Habitus’ showroom and discover a stunning collection of home decor and Scandinavian furniture. For host gifts, we suggest an elegant tumbler set, a vibrant floor pillow, or one of their beautiful books to sit on a coffee table. Our favourite right now is the Urbania collection of ceramic houses. Place tea lights inside to create a warm and inviting village, perfect for a wintery windowsill!
