HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2026
I’m so excited to share my 5th annual holiday gift guide with you! After months of sourcing, reaching out, countless back-and-forth conversations, receiving parcels, picking up special pieces, travelling to Nova Scotia for the photoshoot, and bringing all the images together… the collection is finally here! I LOVE this creative work and I hope you find some inspiring gift ideas!
Each product featured is linked on my ShopMy for easy access. Please know that some links will allow me to earn commission.
I will be sharing about the brands, makers and artists individually over on my Instagram page, so follow along there to see more!
I hope you enjoy this beautiful collection of goods. It was an honour to shoot this collection of images at the dreamy Step House on Edgewater. Once again, I am so grateful for the trust and support of so many incredible people, makers and brands who gifted product to help me bring this guide to life. I am especially grateful for Sarah Andrews who opened her beautiful space to collaborate! Her Sattva by Sarah designs and boutiques (Sattva Boutique and Another Shop) are beyond beautiful and perfectly curated.
Wishing you and your family a beautiful holiday season and a very Merry Christmas!

Art Collage
To create an art collage, start with a blank canvas (I used a 3/4 inch canvas size 24x30). Apply painter’s tape along the edges to create a clean white border. Gather the art pieces you want to work with, cut them into fun shapes, and glue them onto the canvas using Mod Podge matte glue.
Once everything is glued in place, have fun adding bits of colour, sparkle, stickers — anything you think adds a little pop of personality! I added Leo’s school photos from the same two years as the artwork to make it extra special!
Finish by spraying on a few layers of a clear matte varnish spray. You can see my inspiration here!
The finishing touch is adding your artwork to a beautiful, super easy DIY Kolekin floating frame (this one is in the Walnut finish)! Voila!
