Shop Local BC: Top 3 Last-Minute Gift Ideas for the Holidays

The holidays are just around the corner, and if you’re still searching for the perfect gifts, we’re here to help! 🎄 This season, let’s embrace the magic of shopping local.  Supporting small businesses in British Columbia not only helps our community thrive but also ensures you’re giving unique and meaningful gifts to your loved ones.

In collaboration with some incredible local businesses, we’ve curated a list of five last-minute gift ideas that are sure to impress. 🎁 Let’s dive in!

1. Vibrant Art by Leah Simone

Leah Simone is a local Vancouver artist who creates original abstract intuitive pieces out of her Eastside studio in the Eastside Atelier building at 1310 William Street. Known for her love of vibrant, bold colors and her mastery of various mediums like acrylic paints, resin, gold leaf, pencil, and pastel, Leah’s artwork is a true celebration of creativity.

While she predominantly paints large wall art, Leah currently offers a collection of one-of-a-kind smaller original works on wood panel and canvas, as well as a select variety of fine art prints. These unique pieces make for thoughtful and memorable gifts this holiday season. Leah’s cheerful and vibrant art brings a pop of color to any space, making it the perfect addition to your loved ones' homes.
