West coast thumpers! My fish bonker broke, need a new one!
The hand knit mittens by Kuwa designs are beautiful so I would use it to get myself a lovely air of mittens.
Something from Beach Macrame!
lots of choices….probably the new moon tea co
Ooh there all such great things to choose from! I would probably go with one of the toques for my mom or a friend. 🙂
What an amazing collection! I would have to go with a fish bonker from Wesr Coast Thumpers for my husband or a fire starting kit for my son from Western Designs 😄
Great list for Christmas shopping ! Something for everyone. I like so many. Christy Bodden design, will be one of my picks and always need something for home. I like Quint essential home. Glass slips etc. Thanks, good luck every one
Something for the garden would be just grand!
Duotopia, good luck everyone, love this idea of supporting local!
Chideno Canada A lovely bamboo cutlery set or Smartphone leather case by Zenock Leather
Either of these would be beautiful gifts
There are so many to choose from but Treibholz caught my eye immediately. Thank you for taking the time to organize all of this vendor information and for the opportunity to be in the draw.
Hi Claudia, your name was randomly selected and you won the $40 Etsy Gift Certificate! Please watch for an email from me this morning with further details. Congratulations!
Ooh, I like the Outdoor stuff: Fire making kit by Western Designs or Survival gear by Creeker Survival Gear would be nice!
So many choices! Hard to pick but the first thing I saw that caught my eye was the leather bag from TreibholzCanada
Treibholz Canada! Lovely gifts here
New Moon Tea
Thanks for the list – some cool things in there I hadn’t seen (or thought of looking for)!
Amber co-creative..thanks.
M for miniatures
Sasha and Company or Sewn with Passion
Moon tea company is probably where I would spend if I won. But that whole section is temping. I am also a member. Merry Christmas!
i would like something from island engravers
Of the ones listed, my first choice would be Tin Hat Designs. Close 2nd, would be Trout Road. But I am wondering why you don’t have Going Coastal, near Chemainus. We have purchased from Stephanie with Etsy, many times, and love her creations.
Well, to be honest, I haven’t heard of Going Coastal before. So thank you for the tip! I try to feature new artisans with every gift guide. So I will definitely look into her shop for next time!
Kuwa design
I’m going to choose Perfectly Me Vancouver, but there are so many great ones to choose from! Thank you so much for putting this list together! 🙂
What a great surprise. I must go with the beautiful knife set (Camper’s dream chef knife set by Chatwin 1610). I have never heard of this artisan but i am going to make a point to look over their knives. Also I’m a paid up member.
Tin Hat Designs!!! They have some beautiful handcrafted works, love love love their creative creations 💕
Warmland knits 🙂
Ohhh so many to choose.
I think glass sipper or new moon tea.
Treibholz Canada for sure, gorgeous!!!
The Duotopia scarfs look amazing! I’d buy one for my sister-in-law 🙂
Imagine thatCA
The golf socks would make a nice Christmas gift for my son-inlaw.
Thanks.
There are so many amazing products to choose from! So much talent here on Vancouver Island:) I love the double brim winter hat by Christie Bodden Design, Pieces by Christina, and Warmland Knits. Nothing better than a stylish looking toque.
So hard to choose and I can see gifts for all. Probably the Emergency survival kit from Creaker Survival for my son-in-law . He will love it and he’s not always easy to buy for!
Far Garden Ceramics . Have ordered 4 so far for her people and I need one for me and my friend.
So many to love. Treibholz Canada would be a favourite.
Hi Kim, what an awesome idea, thank you! If I win the gift certificate, I would most likely spend it at Coastal Craftwork 🙂 Thanks again, Becca
Hi Kim,
Christie Bodden Design, Trout Road, Zenock Leather, would be some of my choices, so many wonderful artisans to choose from !! p.s. I’m a paid member.
Beach macrame-a gift for my daughter, though I see a lot of beautiful, talented artists here!
I have bought local and from Etsy especially this Christmas!
Thanks for this opportunity.
I would love to shop at Starfish Studio or Islandweaver Designs. Those are my favourite!
ChrIstie Bodden Design would be my pick!! Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
Studioontenth! But everything is lovely. Paid subscriber! 🤶
KathyandFlick because my Grandson is really into dinosaurs and he doesn’t have a mask yet.
Love all these shop suggestions 😍
Member. So much to choose from, it is hard to pick just one!
Warmland Knits and Chideno Canada look great
Duotopia cashmere scarf
I’d love to buy local – especially with a gift card!
So hard to pick just one! They all have such wonderful and unique products
I most likely would spend towards something at the iloveteepee vendor as I think it would be fantastic for my grandkids
new moon tea co
