Christmas Special | Gift ideas 100% Quebec companies

Since last March, we've been highlighting local businesses and products and that's so much the better! In addition to being more ecological (less transportation), encouraging local means actively participating in Quebec's economy. Here are some last minute ideas.

BY JUNE

Starting this fall, June Swimwear, one of our favorite swimwear brands, launched its casual wear division. We discover a nice variety to have a little more style when we live in “soft”.

HOOKED

This is THE site to find the perfect gift for the outdoor enthusiast! Too practical: we get inspired with their selection of gift ideas. A checkered shirt and a flask for her lover, an original orange tuque for her sister-in-law and caps for the nieces and nephews.

Big crush on this Quebec brand which specializes in clothing & accessories for 0-5 year olds and mothers! It's a safe bet that you've already seen one of their pretty headbands or toques hand-knitted in Quebec.

LIFE AT THE LAKE

Don't forget your dog or kitty this Christmas! Let's face it: when it comes to accessories for animals, the offer is quite limited and not very attractive... Fortunately, we discovered this site which offers original creations made in Quebec in top quality rope and marine accessories.

THE PIGEON WORKSHOP

Gone are the days of chaotic holidays, this year we're slowing down the frenzy by taking inspiration from “slow living”! Offering a notebook or a candle means telling your loved one that you are offering them a wonderful moment of relaxation. All of their candles are hand-poured, made from 100% natural soy wax and contain fragrances from a blend of essential oils and aromatic essences.

LASÈVE

3 years. This is the time that Lisemarie and Mélissa, the co-founders of the hair care brand, took to develop the formulas of their products . They wanted to offer professional range products without compromising on the selection of natural ingredients, the absence of toxic products and their environmental values. Discover the new essentials that are suitable for the whole family and all hair types.

WE ENCOURAGE OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTS

Let's face it, our restaurateur friends haven't had an easy life since last March. This Christmas, we're giving gift vouchers from our favorite restaurants and taking the opportunity to treat ourselves at home with the great takeaway meal offer that many of them are offering. We had the pleasure of trying the menus of chef Arnaud Marchand, which we recommend to everyone!

FAVORITE CHOCOLATES

Entering a Chocolat Favori boutique is like plunging into a bucolic universe where all our senses are awakened. We love that their ingredients come from fair trade, that it's a local company, that there are a host of gift ideas for the holidays, but the truth is that we are greedy and we don't you can't find better chocolates!
