We’re making a concious effort this year to shop small – because we know how much love goes into every product that’s made by a small business. And there’s nothing better than passing along that love.
We’ve put together a list of some of our favourite small shops for your Holiday shopping pleasure. They’re the shops we love, shops we’ve bought from, and shops we’re doing our own Christmas shopping at. So we’re sharing the love!
A ceramic artist who makes the most beautiful and functional pieces for your home – you’re bound to make someone feel special with one of her creations!
Possibly the most gorgeous hand-lettered and painted ornaments you’ve ever seen (I bought one for both of our kiddos!), and other adorable and uplifting goodies! Need a personallized gift for grandma? You’ll find it here!
Adorable and high quality kids clothes made in Canada (with organic fabrics) – their adorable and sunny designs are perfect for the little one in your life. Em lives in his Pocomono overalls! They’ve also teamed up with WIllowbee Dolls (below) to make the most adorable matching doll and kiddo sets – the perfect Holiday gift!
This Toronto-based mama makes the most gorgeous handmade Waldorf-inspired dolls. They’re completely customizable… and the super hero dolls might just be my favourite! Made with natural fibres and lots of love, you can’t go wrong giving one of these.
Sleepwear, play wear, and base layers for your kiddos made with the softest merino wool. These gorgeous and high-quality layers are just perfect for your active little one. All the benefits of wool, in the cutest, softest little package!
Look no further for the sweetest, crocheted hats! Pixie bonnets, toques with pom-poms and more – all adorably designed and handmade. Charlie mayyyyyy already have multiple pixie-bonnets in her wardrobe!
Jan & Jul Clothing and Twinklebelle Designs
Our favourite place for outdoor wear! Em’s completely waterproof playsuit and all of his winter AND summer hats come from here. We love their warm outdoor wear, their swim wear, and everything in between!
This is the shop of your cozy blanket dreams! Check out Dotboxed for the cutest, coziest blankets, bedding and accessories for your kiddos. Em and Charlie both have snuggly blankets of their own!
Looking for the perfect whimsical, yes practical present? Check out Ponchies for Kids. They design and create customized fleece ponchos and cotton-terry towel ponchos in any design for your kiddos! Let your kiddo explore the outdoors or stay cozy in their car seat dressed as a raccoon, superhero, or the sports team they love!
