While Santa may have to source far and wide when it comes to holiday gifting, Vancouverites are lucky to have plenty of options available locally to check off every name on their list. Here are some of our top holiday picks from our fave shops on South Granville! —Vicki Duong
lambswool heavy gauge crew. Perfect for those who like to keep it cosy, Vancouver-based National Standards Clothing‘s 100 per cent lambswool knit ($159) is the gift you’ll have the hardest time not keeping for yourself. The brand is also committed to ethical manufacturing and has an extensive recycling program in place. Need another reason to gift National Standards Clothing? It is currently an additional 30 per cent off for the holidays!
croc ankle boots. For that special someone in your life that loves to make a statement, these Paris Texas ankle boots ($665 at Misch) with crocodile stamped leather and metallic gold flakes is sure to impress. With a classic ankle-toe shape and the ease of the booties being a pull-on-style, you can be sure that this is a gift that will be worn year-round!
succulent pj set. For the person you’re an absolute succa for, look no further than this cute succulent pajama set from P.J. Salvage ($99 at Diane’s Lingerie). Made with 100 per cent cotton flannel this set is perfect for the plant enthusiasts that love to lounge in comfort (and for those who know that staying in is the new going out).
carmen g rain jacket. While we may not get a white Christmas in Vancouver we’re sure to get a wet one, making gifting this Carmen G reversible rain jacket ($390 at Urbanity) not only stylish, but highly functional! Designed in Montreal, this reversible coat is not only waterproof but acts as a windbreaker and is ultra lightweight and perfect for travel.
high-compression leggings. A Hills Dry Goods best-seller for reason, Girlfriend Collective high-compression leggings ($88) will leave the athlete in your life feeling thankful and ready to take on their next workout. With an extra-high rise and four-way stretch, these babies are the ultimate for high-impact activities plus they’re made with recycled water bottles!
floral slacks. While the weather outside is frightful, you can still gift a piece that is suitable for winter wear but evokes the sense that spring is coming. These floral slacks ($189 at Maska Mode) feature a bold print over solid black, making them effortless to pair with existing wardrobe basics while still making a statement.
snack bowls. While the holidays might be hectic for get togethers (and trying to keep it together), hosting is made a little bit easier with these stylish Pol Potton snack bowls ($74 for a set of four at Bacci’s). These handmade ceramics are dishwasher safe and perfect for the host with the most this holiday season!
ruby ring. For a subtle touch of sparkle, gift a Petal pearl ruby ring from Poppy Finch ($395 at Boboli), which highlights the organic shape of pearls and made with recycled gold and an ethically sourced ruby. Since this ring is meant to work with the natural shape of pearls, no two pieces are alike, making this gift just as unique as the person you’re giving it to.
