Christmas is less than a month away and if you haven’t finished your shopping yet, here are some of my favourite Canadian businesses.
There are so many amazing Canadian small businesses that love creating, selling and sharing their passions with their customers. 2020 has hit everyone hard so when you are buying gifts this holiday season take the time to check out these small businesses and show them some love.
I love small businesses and am a small business owner myself. I sell cards and art prints. You can check out my little shop at the True North Creative online store.
