Ah! I can’t believe we are talking about gift guides again! Where did the time go! Well, the holiday season is approaching fast so we might as well embrace it. I thought it would be nice to feature a gift guide with a purpose. Who doesn’t like the idea of – gifts that give back holiday gift guide? I do. I also wanted to showcase a few Canadian brands that I love and I think you will fall in love with as well. It’s a great feeling to know that all these great brands are just as much about style as they are about giving back to the community.
