Support Local: Calgary Gift Guide for Employees and Clients
Support Local: Calgary Gift Guide for Employees and Clients
Local businesses, restaurants, shops and services are at the heart of our community, and as they continue to grapple with the economy, they rely on Calgary consumers to vote with their dollar.
While the holiday office party may not be possible this year, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do something special to celebrate your employees and toast your clients. Support small businesses by shopping local this gifting season.
Below, we’ve put together eight ideas for everyone on your team.

Make a Donation to a Local Charity
In the same way small businesses need our support right now, so do local charitable organizations, like food banks and shelters. Making a donation to a non-profit that someone has a personal connection to can be one of the most impactful ways to give a gift.

This is the type of coal you want in your stocking! This mild body bar with Activated Charcoal gently removes toxins while keeping skin smooth and soft. Plus, as the world’s first carbon capture soap, it’s good for the environment!
By shopping local, we can revitalize our economy and help Calgary small businesses survive the COVID-19 holiday season. Show your support by gifting local and encourage others to do the same. We’re better together.
