Granville Island Mile

Santa has a workshop of little helpers to complete his Christmas list, but just because you lack elves doesn’t mean you’re stuck with mall madness. Spice up your holiday shopping with a trip to Granville Island for locally handcrafted items from over fifty artisans.

Find a unique (and often one-of-a-kind!) present for all the royalty in your life. It’s a positively civilized way to shop.

The Lady-in-Waiting: The ultra-feminine glass “Peacock” perfume bottle ($155, available at New-Small & Sterling Glass Studio) adds a feminine touch to any boudoir.

The Duchess: A tin of African Cream Rooibos tea ($7.75, at Granville Island Tea Company) is perfect for the sweet sipper in your life.

The little Princess: She’ll swing her adorable Handmade Tote ($65, at Hammered and Pickled) just like a big girl.

The Court Jester: What better than a bottle of Foxtrot Pinot Noir ($59.99, at Liberty Wine Merchants) to loosen up the life of the party?

The Prince Charming: A handmade Leather Briefcase ($450, at Hartman Leather) will add a dash of scholarly sophistication to match his boyish good looks.

And treat yourself to a Moleskine journal to record your daily to-dos, then give your Queenly stamp of approval with an engraved wax seal ($17.95, at Paper-Ya).
