Get Local with Holiday Gift Giving!

As it turns out, not all holiday shoppers are cut from the same cloth! Some savour the bricks and mortar experience while others cringe at the thought of stepping foot into a shop. No matter what kind of shopper you are, one thing is certain: Fredericton has some pretty cool shops with unique items that in many cases, you can buy in-store or online; definitely a win-win.  With Christmas right around the corner, let us help you in with your holiday “plan of action”.  You get the gifts that make YOU feel good, and you get to #SupportFredLocal! This year, more than ever, we need to turn our attention to our local businesses in supporting them this holiday season!

Here’s a few local shops to get you on your way to checking things off your list!

Aitkens Pewter
Are you on the hunt for a veritable “handcrafted in Fredericton” gift? Aitkens Pewter has been around for 48 years and have been crafting beautiful pieces such as jewellery, mugs, frames and more; look for the distinctive triple “A” in a circle’ this is the touchmark in the design and proves its authentic and enduring craftsmanship!

Endeavours & Think Play
Do you have a budding artist in the family? Or do you buy a new board game every year?  If you’ve answered “yes” to either question, then you need to head to this cute little shop on Queen Street.  Endeavours, at the front of the store, is an artist’s dream, with all manner of art supplies for skills of all levels.  Heading to the back of the store you’ll find ThinkPlay.  Here you’ll find board games, toys, retro candy and so much more!
