Enjoy a Little Indulgence

Desserts

Is anything more indulgent than a decadent dessert spread? Grab a pack of macaroons, cake pops, cupcakes, specialty chocolates, or maybe even a pint of artisan ice cream from one of our local shops! Gifting to someone and don’t know their preferences? Give a gift card! 
Special mention to the sourdough donuts from our neighbour The Everyday Kitchen (@theeverydaykitchen) - these doughnuts are heaven (and so is their whole drink and menu lineup!)

Snacks

Are sweets not for you? Hit up The Local Market (@localmarketyqr) (another one of our fave neighbours!) or The Nut Man for some fabulous sweet and salty options. If the selection feels overwhelming, grab a gift basket with some variety! 

Hot Tip: When shopping the Nut Man’s select you HAVE to try their Rye Bagel Chips (they are NEXT LEVEL!!) and their Saskatchewan-local Drake Meats Jerky! 


Meat + Cheese Boards

Enjoy a fabulous night in with friends with a delicious charcuterie spread. Takeaway Gourmet and The Italian Star Deli have all the cheese, meat, bread, and specialty items required for making a great appy platter. Or save yourself the time and effort and have one of these fab local stores do the work for you and custom make a beautiful creation tailored to your tastes!

Hair Care Sets 

There's nothing quite like the confidence boost from having beautiful hair. Give hair the love it deserves with a gift set like the Oribe Gold Lust Collection, one of Kevin Murphy's many options like In The Thick Of It or Yours Everlasting, or Kerastase's Blond Absolu Lumiere set! You can find all of these and lots more options online and in-store at Salon Society.
