Small Business Gift Guide

Written By Alena Russo

Since becoming a small business owner (in the midst of this global pandemic no less), I have recognized how difficult it is to do so many things and balance it all: provide your service/product, marketing, social media, findings new patients/clients/customers, book keeping, etc. This past holiday season I really wanted to support local but found it difficult to find what I needed on a local level. I’m trying to make it a little easier for small business shoppers with my gift guide. I asked everyone from my social media community to send me their favourite Canadian small businesses, and the response was overwhelming!!! That’s why here we are months later with a compilation of everything that I got sent! Enjoy everyone and happy shopping!
