My Favourite Thornbury Local Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List!
We are now in full holiday mode and there are so many reasons to celebrate! We love to support our Thornbury local shops and give thoughtful gifts so we thought we would help come up with some ideas for you to shop locally this holiday season for everyone on your list. We have also included links to their website and their Instagram tag if you want to follow them online to show even more support!
I have done some festive research and have come up with a list of Thornbury shop suggestions and my favourite gift ideas for everyone on your list! Lets dive into my favourite Thornbury local gift ideas:
Who doesn’t love an experience!?
Looking to relax?
Grab a gift certificate for what I will guarantee will be the best facial ever at Georgian Glow Instagram handle @georgianglow3 in the Thornbury Mews. We also are obsessed with the Scandinave at Blue Mountain which is another great gift of relaxation!
Looking to get fit?
Lemonade Collective (@lemonade_collective, and Inner Worx formerly Inner Yogies (@inneryogies), will start your 2025 on the right track with your style of fitness. We love that Lemonade Collective has bundles – a day pass or 10 pack is sure to please!
Alpaca walking Tour What about an experience with and Alpaca – enjoy an alpaca walking tour with your family or friends!
If donation as a gift in kind is on your list:
Events For Life (@eflthornbury), Beaver Valley Outreach (@beavervalleyoutreach) are both excellent charities!
Why not give the gift of custom art?
Square foot paintings are now for sale $185+ tax for a beautiful 12 x 12″ painting from many local artists on now until Dec. 31 2024 at the Loft Gallery (@loftgalleryart), Matilda Swanson Gallery (@matildaswanson) is another local art shop to check out, or our “in house” self-taught custom artist Merlot Duncan-Cole (@mildperfectionist) can create some customs of your dreams… all have so many unique and wonderful pieces.
Has a little bit of everything for everyone! Can be found @thegeorgianartisanshop on Instagram. Jewlery, tea and mugs, Pillows & Pillow spray, candles, plants, cute planters, and much much more!
Tasty and Sweet Treats or Something Unique:
Can be found @thecheeesegallery on Instagram. I absolutely adore the cheese gallery for the wonderful assortment of items that they offer in their shop. Make up the perfect gift basket for your family foodie: fantastic unique cheeses, cheese knives, and cool glassware, crunchy crackers and pasta, dried sausage, pate and jelly, sweet eats. They also sell gift baskets, or be the fan-favourite at your holiday party by bringing one of their cheese boards/charcuterie boxes. A must-visit during your shopping for local gifts in Thornbury even if it’s just a treat for yourself.
Can be found @sincerelyyoursboutique_ on Instagram. This spot is a card wonderland, with so many funny cards for every occasion, they carry over 17,000 cards! They have handmade Canadian jewelry, cool socks, reading glasses, candles, and even offer helium balloons and gift-wrapping services!!
Instagram handle @goldsmithsmarket. Goldsmiths is one of my favourite Thornbury treasures, their Thornbury pie is perfect for every occasion. Load up on tasty baked goods, local jams, and other tasty treats for the holidays or to gift!
Venti Venti in Thornbury also @ventiventithornbury on Instagram offers a great selection of meals to fill the freezer! Delicious canned goods, jams, and sauces for stocking stuffers. Beautiful pastas are also a great gift along with charcuterie boards.
@Thornburycraft on Instagram. Thornbury Craft is known for crisp ciders and beers, they also carry an assortment of wines and fun apparel in-store!
I cannot forget to mention that there are SO many amazing local restaurants in Thornbury!
