Shop Local: Unique Abbotsford Gift Ideas

It’s been another year of the holidays looking a little different but we are still grateful for all that we have to celebrate. It’s always been a great idea to shop locally for your holiday gifts and this season is no different. Finding the perfect gift doesn’t have to mean long drives into the city, braving large crowds at the mall, or impersonal items ordered online. In Abbotsford you can find unique gifts that are handmade and homegrown by local creators and sold at small local shops. Feel good this festive season knowing you are supporting local and giving cool gifts that your friends and family are sure to love!

Campbell’s Gold Honey Farm & Meadery

Everyone can use beeswax wraps, an alternative to plastic food wrap, which makes it an excellent stocking stuffer.

This could be a great activity for someone spending more time indoors and you’ll feel good knowing you are giving a gift that is saving excess plastic from landfills.
