As we enter the season of gift exchanges and Secret Santas, we want to shine a light on some wonderful local Kingston shops and help you skip the next-day online orders. Supporting small businesses keeps our community vibrant—and often leads to more thoughtful, memorable gifts.

We’ve gathered a list of items we’ve personally given, received, or would love to unwrap ourselves. With options at a variety of price points, you’ll find something perfect for your Secret Santa, your favourite host, or even a little treat just for you.
