Posted by Vanessa Marshall on

‘Tis the season for giving! The busiest shopping season of the year is among us, and we know how stressful this season can be when you’re trying to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. We also know how great it feels to shop small and support local businesses. That’s why we put together a curated list of some of our favourite items from Indigenous-owned, small businesses to help you find everything you need and (hopefully) take a little stress off of your shoulders!

For the cozy vibes fan - mini.tipi

MINI TIPI is a Canadian, women-owned company that creates small batch quality goods for your home and family. One of our favourite products are their blankets! Made from a mix of acrylic and wool, and finished with yarn details, these luxurious blankets are perfect for family picnics, camping or getting cozy around a campfire. All blanket designs are inspired by traditional Indigenous patterns and artworks.
