Looking for something special that'll work for anyone on your list? This gift guide covers flexible, thoughtful picks that don't rely on gendered categories or assumptions about what someone "should" like.
From conversation-starter card games to handmade ceramics and vintage posters, this curated batch of ideas from Montreal brands and shops is what you want to consult when shopping for friends, chosen family, roommates, or that person who's impossible to buy for. Prioritizing quality, craft, and genuine usefulness, we wanted to collect stuff that feel considered rather than generic, and practical rather than obligatory.
