Our 2022 Quebec-Made Christmas Gift Guide

It's holiday shopping time, and it's always the same headache: you need to find THE perfect gift for your picky best friend, for your brother who likes everything and nothing at the same time, for your office colleague who helped you out a lot all year, or for your in-laws who have EVERYTHING.

No question of opting for gift cards available at Walmart... You want to spoil them, you want to see WOW on their faces! We understand you, because for us too, gifts are serious business.

To save you hours in front of your computer shopping for the perfect gifts, we've done some of the research for you, based on personalities.

The best part? You'll be supporting local businesses, people who live their passion.

To Spoil the Man in Your Life

You want to spoil your man in a thousand and one ways. You know his personality like no one else. Here are some new 100% Quebec-made ideas:

The Cinephile or Netflix Fan Boyfriend

It's time to take his typical movie night to the next level with the sweet and savory treats from the Home Cinema box. Popcorn, candies, nuts, and chocolate, he'll have all the essentials for a 100% successful movie night!

The Coffee Lover

If the first thing he thinks about in the morning is his coffee, here's THE best gift: the Espresso gift box (or happiness in a box, depending on your preference). To enhance the gift, Roxanne suggests the beautiful enamel steel mug from Les Mauvaises herbes, available in our shop in 2 clicks.

Is the Man Always in the Kitchen Preparing His Specialty for You?

Why not introduce him to sauces and spices from the province... we've put together a nice selection in the Gourmet Gifts collection, such as the BBQ Master box, the Sriracha discovery box Sriracha or the KANEL spice sets (essentials according to Fred)!

You can accompany a gourmet box with a personalized cutting board from Rabot D. Bois, La Pimenterie hot sauces or even the Lithologie baking stone (a mega wow)! Want culinary choices? Here they are!

The New Boyfriend for 4 Months... or for 22 Years 😆

We've been told that the Breakfast in Bed box is perfect for touching a man's heart... or his stomach! haha Introduce him to local chocolatiers or opt for the supreme brunch box which is more complete to maximize discoveries.

Or to Spoil the Woman in Your Life

You can never go wrong with a box that will pamper her with relaxation products or sweet treats. We know that the world of cocooning is very vast in Quebec, which is why we "sacrificed" ourselves to test Quebec bath-beauty-relaxation products.

For the Busy Woman Who Needs Ultimate Relaxation

We know that daily routines are hectic. Managing children while working, keeping the house clean, spending time with family and friends. Phew! To show her your love, offer her one of our most beautiful relaxation boxes, the Calm box. A guaranteed WOW experience! For smaller budgets, we recommend the Staycation box for a self-care moment.

A Safe Bet: an eco-friendly blanket MINI TIPI

The magnificent MINI TIPI blankets are made from recycled fabrics, without chemical agents, and are certified eco-friendly and cruelty-free. They are perfect for evenings in front of the TV, for warming up at the cottage. In the house, they make superb throws to add to the decor. We also love their reversible shawls. Plus, it's a purchase that supports Indigenous Quebec artisans in addition to the two female owners who are committed to recognizing their Indigenous roots. 

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Kids

Oh, it's so fun to see their eyes light up at the sight of any gift! To keep surprising them, we offer a ton of great ideas at low prices in our "Fill Your Stocking" collection.

or Filling a Teen's Stocking

Here are others that are fun to spoil and surprise. All it takes is offering them beautiful products so they can take care of themselves, and we might get a few smiles and - maybe - a tidy room!

• The Mimi & August candles, the Flambette candles or the Funky candles are perfect: They smell good and look great on Instagram stories! ;)
• The surprise box for young girls is also a great all-around option at a low price. Colorful and fun products to share with her BFF at the next girls' night... or not!
• Or, a beautiful set composed of the superb notebooks and pen from Baltic Club or a stationery set from Papier & Latté, enough to make her friends jealous in class.

For Your Parents... or Your Grandparents

When your parents already have everything, buy everything, and you've already bought them every imaginable gift idea, it's not easy! Why not opt for a personalized item or a product to enjoy, just to surprise them!

A Gift That Does Good

Are you familiar with Miels d'Anicet? The Shop team is a big fan of all their delicacies and skincare products... and your parents will become fans too! By choosing to offer their products, you contribute to the survival of Quebec bees, guardians of our biodiversity.   

Sublime scents and noble ingredients, the Mélia products from Miels d'Anicet are rich in naturally beneficial active ingredients. From honey-nut spread to hand soap to the winter ailments kit, you'll find everything... but especially quality. 

Gift Ideas for Those Who Have EVERYTHING

We're opting for a sure thing: local finds to savor! A Brunch box to prepare on a sweet-toothed morning or a set of gourmet products to share as a couple or with family. 

Why not a box that will create memories? The Chalet Life box has everything you need for a lovely evening around the fire, as a couple or with family, by adding additional wool socks (adult and child).

For Our Brother, Father-in-Law, Brother-in-Law

Another tough one! We're sticking with fun and original local discoveries.

Coffee Lover... or Outdoorsman?

A safe bet for men: the Espresso box, which introduces locally roasted Quebec coffee and sweetens the deal with caffeinated treats.

Men also need to take care of themselves, which is why we're opting for the "Au masculin" box or the "Boréal" box, for those who love the outdoors or simply enjoy little pleasures. 

Rather Simple?

A shirt from Poches et fils, a pair of wool socks from Chandail de Loup or a Funky candle with unusual fragrances like pickle, new car or stadium souvenir will certainly make him happy! More of a gourmet? We love the L'As du fumoir collection box, to use everywhere in the kitchen!

For Our Girlfriends

Over time, our true good friends are more often than not counted on the fingers of one hand.

• For the next girls' night, the Black Label Gourmet Sharing Box is a "buffet" of sweet and savory treats to accompany her after-dinner coffee.
• Or, a nice outing to a regional Nordic spa for a well-deserved self-care day. In Outaouais, we suggest an outing to Spa Nordik, the largest in North America, or the magnificent Strøm spa nordique Vieux-Québec. If you don't have time for such a long getaway, we offer the Nordic Spa, Staycation or Calm boxes, which will offer her a relaxing break at home.

For the (Virtual) Office Gift Exchange

The watchword: versatile! We don't always know the tastes of all our colleagues, so we try to have several low-priced items that anyone will appreciate.

We suggest our festive boxes at low prices like the Festive Fir and the Christmas Christmas which will please everyone! After all, who would say no to plenty of treats!

For the Surprise Gift Exchange at the Party (Secret Santa)

Since we're on the surprise theme, we suggest the surprise cocooning box! A thousand and one products to discover, carefully selected and packaged to offer the ultimate discovery experience!

To Celebrate the End of 2022

Let's start with festivity with the Celebration box, all in black and gold, reminiscent of New Year's parties and the accomplishments of the past year! Cheers! A good option for corporate gifts and for those who have everything. A big seller in 2021, we had no choice but to bring it back to the store!
