Toronto Small Business Gift Guide

Shopping locally is the most sustainable, cost effective and mindful way to spend your money. Not only does this alternative to buying items from major corporations help to reduce your carbon footprint, it’s also more likely that your purchase will be of higher quality and made with love. Shopping locally is also a great way to support your local economy, uplifting members of your community. At E’s Element we love to share local businesses that create high quality products and services. Here’s our list for this season!

Skincare Essentials and Facials

The best products come from experts who are well-versed and experienced in their craft, especially when it comes to beauty. Diana, the founder of VO Beauty, is a facialist channelling all her expertise into the products she formulates in-house. The company offers a range of products from cleansers, masks, and serums to beauty accessories and more! They also offer facial services that are customized to your unique skin composition. Products range from $36 to $175. Not only does VO Beauty provide high quality products and services, they are committed to forward thinking approaches that are good for our earth! Products are 100% natural and cruelty free. 5% of every sale is donated to Bee City, an organization dedicated to protecting bees and their habitats in Canada. You can feel good about shopping with VO Beauty and find quality products you’ll love.

 Handmade Candles 

Wilo Studio is a GTA-based brand that provides thoughtful home goods and skincare products. Their offerings are perfect for those who love investing in beautifully packaged goods that double as home decor. From body butters and lip glosses to candles, each accessory elevates the space it lives in. All products are 100% natural and cruelty free and the brand is transparent about their ingredients. Like many of their products, the candles are handmade (hand crafted vessels and hand poured!) which makes them super high quality.  The warm key notes of their candles are jasmine, frankincense and neroli. These are available for $30.

This Mississauga-based baker pairs playful designs and bright colour with some of the most delicious, hard to find flavours! Think matcha, pandan, or almond cake, chocolate mousse, coconut or fresh strawberry filling and much more! It’s rare to find bakers like Molly that consistently make super moist cakes that are full of flavour and not overly sweet! Her specialities lie in creating whimsical designs that truly make you feel special and excited. These desserts are perfect for every occasion. She offers a range of sizes and price points from $30 to $75 but also welcomes highly customized orders to cater to whatever you need! You can DM her directly to include all the details of what you want. Try a cake to discover your new go-to for special days.
