The holiday gifts I remember the most are always those that have had a little extra time, thought and care put into them.
Gifts that have been specifically designed or personalized are ones I’ll never forget.
This weekend, I joined my friends on Global Weekend to share some of these thoughtful gift ideas.
All can be shopped for locally, in Calgary, AB.
There are very few of these shops in Canada and CF Market Mall in Calgary is lucky to have one of them.
Staffed with 2 local artists, the design options are endless when it comes to personalization.
Distressing, painting, patching and embroidery are just a few of the possibilities.
At Levi’s you can also swap out your standard buttons for an array of colourful options.
Fashion Portrairts by Rachael Meckling
Custom commissioned art is something you’ll proudly own forever.
And for the next 3 weeks at Market Collective, Rachael’s made it easy and personal.
In approximately 15 minutes she’ll sketch, draw and color a unique 8×10 version of yourself in a fashion portrait.
Master Chocolat Custom Chocolate Bars
The perfect gift for picky people with a major sweet tooth.
In Bernard Callebaut’s new concept store in Marda Loop (and future Flagship location coming early December) you can customize a hand poured gourmet milk or dark chocolate bar.
Freeze Dried Strawberries, gummies, and even crushed candy cane, there are 21 add-ins to choose from to create your perfect bar!
It’s all about holiday traditions with Big Rock which is why they’ve created this year’s Can Card using their iconic, best selling Traditional Ale.
This year, skip the paper tags and cards, and label your gifts with this more refreshing option that’s sure to impress.
As a kid I was obsessed with Barbies and action figures and now I can have my very own.
Inside the studio of GravityB 3D is a 360 camera booth equipped with dozens of cameras ready to shoot you simultaneously from every angle.
The shots are then stitched together and rendered for 3D print.
What you’re left with is a small scale version of yourself immortalized for all time.
This year, get personal and look into creating a gift that will not be forgotten!
Happy Giving
