The best gifts are the ones that balance practicality with a touch of indulgence, and self-care gifts from Montreal (plus some options from further abroad in Canada—elbows up!) provide everything you need. From nourishing skincare and sustainable lifestyle staples to treatments that turn everyday routines into moments of self-care, thoughtful gifts like the ones listed below can help loved ones feel seen, pampered, and refreshed.

This gift guide covers the best places to find thoughtful self-care gifts that go beyond generic bath bombs, balancing that just-right blend of what's practical and indulgent.


BKIND

Founded in 2014 in Montreal by microbiologist Marilyne Bounchard, BKIND merges scientific expertise with a deeply personal approach to self-care. What began as a response to her own sensitive skin has grown into a vegan, cruelty-free beauty line rooted in natural ingredients and ethical practices. Along with a selection of skin-care, the Quebecois company offers non-toxic nail polish, formulated without harsh chemicals, and available in a range of neutral and bold shades.
