5 Places to Shop Locally this Season

The holiday shopping season is in full swing and we’re doing our part to support local businesses and makers whenever possible. Here are five Squamish shops and markets that will keep you out of the malls.

Squamish Farmers’ Market
Stock up on handmade gifts and support your local farmers, woodworkers, jewellers, potters and artisans taking part in the Squamish Farmers’ Market, on for the next three consecutive Saturdays, December 6, 13 and 20 at its new location, Squamish Elementary School. (38373 Buckley Avenue)  

Billies Flower House
Billies is all dressed up in ornaments, winter greens, florals, home accessories, hostess gifts, paper goods, stocking stuffers and everything you need to make your home holiday ready. They also make a mean swag. (38082 Cleveland Avenue)

Karin’s Kitchen Corner
Karin’s Kitchen Corner is the Squamish equivalent of Vancouver’s Gourmet Warehouse where you’ll find the best names in bakeware, cookware and kitchen accessories for the culinary lover on your list. (1200 Hunter Place)

Wild and Heart
This list would not be complete without our favourite local place to get styled. Bonus: They carry sweaters, small leather goods, footwear and outerwear for men. (38036 Cleveland Avenue)

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until December 21, the Sea to Sky Gondola is hosting local artisans including Stock Home Designs, Caroline Miller and Florid Fallow (pictured above). For details visit www.seatoskygondola.com.
