Made in Calgary: 9 Local Gifts

You'll be shocked by the abundance of cutesy boutiques in this charming town located southwest of Calgary. Eclectic Branch Market & Studio is a trove of unique and affordable finds, from home decor to cutesy Christmasy items, all made by local artisans. Bohemia sells funky women's wear and gift items and next door, Blue Rock Gallery offers pottery in addition to an adult colouring book by local artist Crystal Salamon. A five-minute drive away in Turner Valley, Eau Claire Distillery handcrafts artisanal spirits onsite. Festival tipples can be made from their gorgeous Gin Rummy and Christmas Gin (we enjoyed researching this very much!). Good to know: Move fast, these seasonal spirits sell out!
