    2 Great Canadian Small Businesses to Shop this Christmas

    December 2, 2025 /

    We’ve just come through the retail madness of Black Friday week and I am feeling like I need a breather. A little cleanse, perhaps, from all of the mass marketing campaigns of large corporations and a refocus on small businesses. As we’re still in the midst of holiday shopping season, I wanted to share about two Canadian small businesses that have some great sustainable products–Uncle Mike’s All Natural Products and More Than Lips. So whether you’re needing something to gift to others or something to gift yourself, these two Canadian small businesses might just be the place to look!

We are heading into (or really, we’re in the midst of!) a season focused on shopping.
