Instead of giving a gift that was made by the thousands (by little elves, of course), here is where you can purchase hand-made gifts that are truly special.

1 Stewart Hall

Stewart Hall is a stunning mansion with a rich history, home to a community cultural centre. Its boutique features items made by talented local artists. Choose from jewelery, pottery, cards and other beautiful objects made by hand.

2 Sequoia

Sequoia sells all-natural beauty and bath products that are inspired by Native legends and herbs. The shop is 100% Native owned and operated. Its products are made by hand in small batches by Mohawk women. Everything is made using top-quality ingredients that smell fabulous.

3 Studio/Boutique Gogo Glass

For an elegant gift, stop by studio/boutique Gogo Glass, which is also in the Bonsecours Market. Here you’ll find hand-blown glass pieces such as vases, paper weights, sculptures and more. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll get to see the glass-blowers at work in their studio.

4 The Boutique des métiers d'art du Québec

The Boutique des métiers d'art du Québec is housed in one of Canada’s most beautiful heritage buildings, the Bonsecours Market in Old Montreal. In this boutique you’ll find the impressive work of 100 of Quebec’s professional artisans. From practical to purely decorative, these items will surely impress.
