This time of year, our thoughts turn to those most important to us. To those who supported us, cheered us on, and were there for the memories that made this year so special. Whether it's a mentor, a family member, a colleague, or a close friend, these are the people who make a real difference in our lives.
And what better way to show our appreciation than with a thoughtful gift that speaks to their interests and the special bond you share?
We’ve curated a selection of gifts perfect for spreading love and gratitude, making sure you find something as meaningful as the people you're celebrating.
For that one-of-a-kind person on your list, we start with the one-of-a-kind creations from Edmonton’s own Suspended Studio. This local glassblowing studio and gallery focuses on creating high-quality, well-designed pieces that add beauty and meaning to your space.
They take great pride in the quality and unique nature of our glass products. Each piece is designed and handmade, with slight variances in size, shape, and color that make each item one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re an art lover or looking for a unique gift, each piece at Suspended Studio invites you to experience that same suspended sense of wonder.
(For those who want to try their hand at glassblowing, they also have a variety of classes and workshops!)
For the changemaker in your life, consider supporting 1000 Women on their behalf, a movement dedicated to breaking down barriers to education for women in need. Through fundraising efforts, 1000 Women provides the resources necessary for students to start and complete their academic journeys, paving the way for successful careers and independence.
Your donation - whether a one-time donation or a monthly contribution - will fund programs that provide tuition, textbooks and affordable childcare for women in STEM programs. If someone on your list is all about empowering women to achieve their dreams, this is the gift for them.
For the person who deserves the ultimate comfort and luxury, look no further than the luxurious organic cotton linen robe from Affine Fibers. Handmade in Calgary, this robe combines breathable linen with the ultra-softness of organic cotton, making you feel like you’re wearing a hug. (Plus, it has pockets!) It’s the perfect way to relax in style and make you feel like you’re having a day at the spa, even if you’re just lounging around at home.
There’s nothing quite like cozying up with a warm cup of tea…except Nature Mary’s Bath Teas! Their Bath Teas bring the relaxation of a hot cup of tea to your bath. Each bag is packed with purifying clays, soothing minerals, and fragrant botanicals that nourish your skin and help relax your body.
With three flavours to try (Island Escape, Mountain Escape and Blooming Garden Escape), it might be hard to choose, so try them all with the Bath Tea 3-Pack!
