Handmade Love: My top 15 Canadian must-haves this holiday season

I love shopping local and shopping handmade. The best part of participating regularly in handmade shows is getting to know all those wonderful makers from all over Canada and seeing the progress in their work. To give you a little glimpse into the maker community, I compiled a list of my favourite products at the moment. Maybe you recognize a couple of my friends whose work I talked about before, maybe you discover something completely new. One thing is for sure, they all put a lot of effort, passion and love into their work to give you the best they can. Here they are, my top 15 Canadian must-haves this holiday season:

1. Majesty Industries: “Harry Potter”-themed travel pouches made from vegan leather
