Spotlight on the 2025 Local Holiday Gift Guide
Over sixty artists and arts organizations; dozens of unique, lovingly crafted items; and more creativity than you can count — the 2025 edition of our Local Holiday Gift Guide is here!
As pressure from inflation and tariffs weighs on holiday shopping this year, both shoppers and makers feel the pinch. That’s why this guide is more than just a list of gift ideas — it’s a purposeful way to shop local, support artists and makers, and keep more money in the province.
The Local Holiday Gift Guide provides the opportunity to support local in a meaningful way, connecting potential customers directly to the artists, with every penny going straight to them — especially important in a year when many creators are facing multiple headwinds.
Shop from seven categories from artists all over Newfoundland and Labrador (meaning you’re not just shopping in major centres, but reaching makers in smaller communities too, amplifying the local economic benefit). Whether you're looking for a beautifully crafted blanket, cozy knits, a good read, or an experience that's sure to delight and inspire, you'll find all of it here, and more. And considering some of these items aren't being sold at craft fairs or physical stores, you're bound to find something unique.
Learn more about the maker, and the gift, or click through to head straight to the artists' websites or online shops.
You can access the Local Holiday Gift Guide on the Business & Arts NL website year-round to help you find locally made thank-you gifts, conference swag, employee recognition items and more. Reference it anytime you need to find something truly special and unique.
Whether you’re looking for something meaningful for a loved one or gearing up for an office holiday gift swap, this guide delivers in just a few clicks. And in doing so, you’re playing a small but tangible part in strengthening Newfoundland and Labrador’s creative economy.
