Spotlight on the 2024 Local Holiday Gift Guide
There's nothing like giving (or receiving) a unique, lovingly made, handcrafted gift. It adds a special touch of magic, especially during the holiday season.
That's why we're so proud to present our 2024 Local Holiday Gift Guide!
What started as a simple page on our website, highlighting items from a handful of our artist members, has evolved into a beloved annual tradition which now includes an interactive PDF featuring the work of artists and makers from all over the province.
We're excited to release the 8th edition of our Local Holiday Gift Guide, which features over 230 items from 78 local artists and creative entrepreneurs. Shop from seven categories, including cards and gifts, craft and design, music and performance, jewellery and accessories, publishing, textiles and fibre arts, and visual art.
From handwoven textiles that capture the beauty and diversity of Newfoundland and Labrador's landscape, and handcrafted pottery and jewellery inspired by the land and sea, to beautiful beadwork, custom crocheted creations, cozy handknits, rope art crafted with care using traditional techniques, and gorgeous stained glass pieces that are sure to brighten any home, our gift guide has something for everyone. We've even got gift ideas for your furry friends!
And if you're looking to gift an experience, we've got you covered there too, with art classes and workshops, voice lessons, and tickets to inspiring live performances for an evening your loved ones will never forget.
From fun and functional to charming and whimsical, our gift guide has items to suit every style, age, interest and budget. Every purchase you make goes directly to the artists, which helps support the creative economy of the province and the skilled artists and makers who call it home.
We'd like to give a big shoutout to talented graphic designer and artist Katie Hardy, whose colourful graphics you'll find sprinkled throughout this year's guide, including the front and back cover.
Whether you're looking for something extra special for a friend, family member or co-worker, or a little treat for yourself, our Local Holiday Gift Guide is sure to please this holiday season. Please share it far and wide, and bookmark the page if you're seeking unique items for other events and special occasions throughout the year!
Thank you for checking out this year's guide and for supporting our creative community by shopping local and handcrafted this holiday season!
