With the holidays approaching, now’s a good time to start thinking about gifts before the rush sets in, and this year's curated selection of gifts under $50 should help get you started.
This guide is made for those who want to keep things simple and local, with gifts that can be found while window shopping or running errands. Montreal’s community of local makers and small businesses makes it easy to find something special without breaking the bank.
Here, you'll find a round-up of our favourite gift ideas from artists, designers, and creators across the city and into Canada (elbows up and all that!). There's a range of price points within that budget—some small, simple gestures and others that feel a little more indulgent.
