KL Holiday Local Gift Guide: Gift Certificates

So maybe you still don’t know what to get that someone special in your life. 

I don’t know about you guys, but I love a gift certificate. I know that a lot of people think that they lack creativity or fall into the “lame gift” category, but honestly – they’ve got to be my favorite thing to find under the tree. 

I’ve narrowed down four out-of-the-box local gift certificate options that someone special in your life might be thrilled to unwrap. (You have to get creative with the wrapping, though. Don’t let me down on this one!) 

Your Life, My Lens Photography

It’s no secret that I love a good photograph. Sure, it’s a huge part of my job, but there’s just something so spectacular about professional photos taken by someone that has another level of passion for the art of capturing special moments. 

Now, this isn’t something that everybody wants or can afford to spend their money on. A gift certificate from Your Life, My Lens Photography might do the trick, and allow someone in your life to finally get beautiful family, engagement, maternity or cake smash pictures that they’ll cherish forever and ever.


Hudson Hardware Store

Weird, I know. But hear me out! Do you know someone who constantly talks about DIY projects, or has the home improvement bug? Does your Dad or Sister or Boyfriend keep referring to that palm sander or chain saw they just can’t justify? I know I have a Brother-in-Law who just can’t get enough of growing his tool collection. So why not offer them exactly what they want, from a local hardware store! It’s as easy as getting a gift certificate, and letting them pick out their dream tools themselves. Or their paint colours. Whatever floats their DIY boat.

Satori Studio 

The gift of self-care. I truly can’t think of a better gift than offering someone one full hour of “me time.” Doesn’t that sound incredible? Satori Studio is an awesome local wellness studio that offers a wide range of services from reflexology, massage therapy, pedicures, rapid transformational therapy and more! This holiday season, they are offering a promotion that not only includes a gift certificate, but comes with a few other local goodies, at an affordable price point!


Café Boutique Juniper

Last but not least, if you follow me on Instagram, you know that this local spot really is one of my favorites. Not only is the coffee great, the food delicious, and the gift selection on point, the staff is truly the best, and walking into that place is a treat, in and of itself. So trust me when I say that a gift certificate to Juniper will definitely be well received! 

I hope that you enjoyed this series and that you feel inspired to support your local businesses this holiday season! If you do, shoot me a message. I always love to hear about your local finds.
