How about something sweet for your honey this year? Step into Main Street Honey for their farm-to-store approach, and you’ll likely be tempted to leave with more beeswax candles, body care products and jars of honey (they have over 30 different kinds!) than you can carry.

If there’s one thing we love in The Shipyards District, it’s supporting our local Canadian artisans and businesses. What better way to celebrate these ideals than to shop at Makers, where 100% of every sale goes directly to the makers. The epitome of a “gift shop,” they offer handmade soaps, cosmetics, clothing and thoughtful mementos for everyone (even your pooch)!
