WE LOVE VANCOUVER!

ICYMI, we’re big on local. That’s why every single item in our gifts and market packs are carefully chosen for their quality, as well as their local impact! Just take a look at our June Best of the Market pack below. Each artisan treat has its own story to tell, and within each company is a group of local people passionate about what they do.

WHERE YOU SHOP MATTERS.

Stimulate Our Local Economy

Purchasing with a local company keeps more money in our economy. When you buy from us, you’re supporting several local businesses in one purchase. Local businesses also keep more money in our economy when they use local services, farms, and employ local workers!

Reduce Environmental Effects

Keeping it local means these home-grown products don’t have to travel far to reach you! No long airplane trips between you and your treats.

You Matter More

When you spend, you’re voting with your money. Your vote counts for more when it’s a small, local business than a big box store. Local businesses become better when we shop at them, leading to more innovation for our specific community needs.

PAPER-YA Awarded $2500 Donation

Over the last year, we’ve been putting aside a portion of our sales (as well as donations) to give back to the Granville Island community, who was greatly affected by the pandemic. We’re excited to announce that we’ve chosen Paper-Ya as the recipient of our #GranvilleIslandLuv donation.

For over 36 years, Paper-Ya has been a go-to stop on Granville Island for creatives. If you’ve been in the store, you know its special magic. There’s inviting little nooks to explore, and a never-ending selection of gorgeous and unique items. Everywhere you look, there’s something you didn’t know you needed (but are now coveting).

Paper-Ya plans to use the funds for their new POS system which will allow them to sell online! Get that credit card ready for some online shopping :)
