A few of our favourite things

If I read “these are unprecedented times” one more time I’m gonna quit the internet.  No, not really.  But, we’ve reached The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year, and in 2020 that means finding virtual alternatives to our usual holiday connections. Since our gathering may be via video or in small cohorts, we’re especially missing the physical opportunity to show our affection. Enter the art of shopping online. Luckily, many local vendors have hopped on the delivery train and we’ve been busy sifting through the local businesses that we’d like to throw our support behind. Read on if you’re interested in our YYC hot picks!

  1. Plant 

    As we spend far more time in our home spaces, we’re all looking for a little extra life.  Curbside pick up remains in service at this fantastic and unique plant shop. Only the best quality and great style! Surf the online shop and utilize their seamless pick up options!

  2. Nineteen Seventy-Seven

    If your loved one is into the best in hair care, look no further.  These people have serious style and have streamlined their online shop in order to keep your lockdown gifts on lock.

  3. Market Wines

    These folks are able to bring in wine from almost anywhere, so their selection is tough to beat, and their wine club is very cool. Free delivery to boot!

  4. Palette Archives

    Give the gift of a designer’s touch, in a box.  Palette Archives provide all the info/curated samples you need to makeover a space, and designer discounts are included!  An innovative and affordable solution to a pro designer- with so many gorgeous and unique options.

  5. Esme Floral & Beauty Bar

    Esme gift cards are a great way to give the options of gorgeous weekly floral arrangements, skin treatments, or nail/waxing service. Two convenient central locations - 17th Avenue or Inglewood!

  6. Hamilton & Co

    This super crew leapt into action during the mask shortage and donated tons of time and energy to creating affordable PPE.  Their scrunchies are top quality and their selection of cool masks is top notch.  We love their sequined holiday masks!

  7. Cardinale

    If you’re looking for the best of the Calgary food scene to treat your loved ones, this is little gem is tops.  Order pick up to “Skip” the brokering fees and more of your dollar goes straight to these masters of their craft

  8. Temper & Lace 

    70+ hours of burn time, phthalate and paraben free, no artificial scents or chemicals- these are the absolute best bang for your buck in the candle realm.


It’s been incredible to see this city come together in support of local business. Thanks so much to all who are supporting us this holiday season. We’d love to see more of your local faves in the comments.
