Are you an artist or a creative entrepreneur with gifts, swag bag items, or experiences for sale? Make sure you’re listed in the NL Gift Directory in advance of the holiday season.
The NL Gift Directory (formerly “Local Holiday Gift Guide”) is visited by 2500+ customers every year. Seasonal shoppers, event organizers and corporate buyers use the Directory to find locally made gifts. The Gift Directory is a critical resource, showcasing talent, skill, and creativity from across the province - we're inviting you to help us make the 2026 edition the biggest and best yet!
The Directory is hosted on our website and links customers directly to your shop, website, or social media - giving you another way to showcase your work and connect with new audiences and potential customers.
