Consider Shopping Local During the Holidays
It's gift giving season for a lot of us and with black Friday and cyber monday on their way this week we wanted to take a moment to highlight some of our favourite local businesses.
As we know since the pandemic and all the crazy stuff it has done to our economy we are facing some huge inflation on prices for things as simple as groceries or utility bills all the way up to the big box stores.
One thing I am so proud of Montreal for is all the small businesses that thrive. We wanted to share our favorite places to shop in order to help you to choose to shop local and support small businesses.
COMME DES ENFANTS
901 Rue Marie-Anne, https://www.commedesenfants.com/
This is my FAVORITE place to shop for baby toys! We got so many things for Lux here as well as gifts for our friends who have children. You can find clothes and toys for older children here too and we especially loved their collection of french children's books!
LA MISTINGUETTE
4537 Rue Wellington, https://lamistinguette.ca/
It is so hard for me to leave this store without buying everything! There are so many awesome items that are sustainable and locally sourced. There is jewelry, toys, clothing and we got our favorite hat for Lux here!
MIMI & AUGUST
162 Rue Saint-Amable, https://mimiandaugust.com/
For the adult folks on your list, the cute shirts, jewelry and candles are all top notch! We especially appreciate the candles that come in cups so you can still use the cup once your candle is done!
180G CAFÉ
5866 Av. De Lorimier, instagram @le180g
This spot is one of Chuck’s favourites. It is a café and a record shop… COMBINED! The place has a really cool vibe, excellent staff, great coffee, and a nice selection of vinyl for the analog music head in your family. But head over there soon before the take a break for the holidays.
