Looking for gifts for her? Moms, girlfriends, grandmothers, aunts, friends—whoever you're looking to buy for, the following curated picks in this list go well beyond generic spa sets, candles, and last-minute impulse buys, and dive into what Montreal and Canada have to offer.
From locally made footwear and custom-sized loungewear to Russian manicures, sculptural hair jewelry, sustainably made bags, Italian lingerie, and pre-wash hair oil that actually works, this gift guide covers thoughtful options that prioritize craft, quality, and personal style.
These Montreal brands and boutiques offer gifts that feel considered rather than obligatory—pieces and experiences chosen because they reflect care, attention to detail, and an understanding that the best gifts are the ones that get used, worn, and appreciated long after the occasion passes.
