A kids' gift guide for people who refuse to buy more plastic garbage

If you're here, we can only hope that you need a gift guide for kids in Montreal that goes beyond plastic junk.

Here, we've curated a list including everything from locally made toys and sustainable clothing to pottery workshops and sensory play kits—all aimed at covering thoughtful options that prioritize quality, creativity, and longevity over disposable trends. Shop for handcrafted dolls, non-gendered clothing that grows with kids, parent-child experiences, or eco-conscious skincare with these Montreal brands and boutiques offering gifts designed to engage curiosity, encourage play, and actually last.

In short? These aren't the kinds of toys that break after a week or clothes that get outgrown in a month. They're thoughtful, well-made finds that respect both kids and parents.
