Local Holiday Shopping Guide
Support local businesses this holiday season!
Local Holiday Shopping Guide image

It has never been more important to shop local! This holiday season, keep your dollars in the community and shop local stores, vendors and crafters.

We have a new category called the Handmade Market that features local crafters and artisans. You can find unique gifts and holiday decor items from wall hangings to candles to jewellery.

We have also created this local holiday shopping guide. The list below includes:

  • local restaurants and coffee shops – great for gift cards!
  • local grocers – for that amazing holiday dinner
  • local retailers – great gifts for baby, mom, dad, kids and pets…
  • local services – from electricians to accountants to cleaners and more
So look for local this season!
If you would like your business to be added to our shopping guide, please email us at promos@used.ca
We will try to have submissions posted within 24 hours. Things are rapidly changing. We will do our very best to keep this listing current, but there might be changes we have missed. Please check the business’s website to find their current hours or updates.
