This way! Yes, Laval is the place to go to fill the stockings of your loved ones or to find gifts for exchange parties. You don’t have to spend a fortune to bring joy and give surprises with a local touch. To get you inspired, here’s a list of suggestions for local treats to give as gifts.
Les Insulaires Microbrewers have an online store where you can buy their wonderful beers with unique flavors or gift cards. In fact, you’ll find everything you need to put together a lovely gift set tailored to the tastes of your neighbor, your partner, or your brother-in-law—in short, something to suit the tastes of anyone who loves quality beer.
Are you looking for local wines, tableware, posters, soaps, candles, fine chocolates, or just something a little different? Good news—you only need to make one stop at Les Minettes, the gourmet shop to finish up your gift shopping.
There are some gifts that let you kill two birds with one stone. That’s certainly true of the Jeunes au Travail farm in Laval, a social integration enterprise whose activities include repurposing wood harvested in the Laval area. By purchasing a piece of woodwork crafted on-site, you’ll delight a loved one while also supporting a social integration and social economy enterprise. Serving boards, knives, spreading spatulas, toys, and much more are available for purchase on the organization’s website or in person at its Christmas market, December 6–8.
Creative blocks don't just happen to other people. Fortunately, the cure is pretty simple. All you have to do is go to to La Boîte à Fleurs and choose from a wide selection of gift boxes and sets that are 100% locally made and personalized. From gourmet treats to home accessories, you’ll see—there’s no shortage of options.
Everyone knows at least one enfant terrible—someone who stands out from the crowd and loves to get into mischief? Mind you, this enfant terrible could just as easily be someone who LOVES the restaurant Les Enfants Terribles in Laval. In short, thanks to its online store (the restaurant’s, of course), you can buy gift cards and clothing featuring the restaurant’s logo.
For snowy evenings, rainy days (you’ve got to plan ahead), or simply for the fun of getting together around a board game, stop by the Randolph Pub Ludique Centropolis. You’ll find a wide variety of board games there, such as *L’Ostie D’Jeu des Régions*, which gives a nod to Laval. Plus, a board game makes for such a great gift.
Giving your host a good bottle of wine during the holiday season is a common practice. Stop by the vineyard and choose a bottle from Château Taillefer Lafon to celebrate local talent and Quebec’s rich heritage.
Sometimes, all it takes to travel is a dinner at a restaurant. Aromas and flavors have a way of transporting us to another place. So take the plunge and treat one of your dearest friends to the most wonderful journey. Give them a gift card (from $5 to $250) from Gatto Matto Laval.
Does that special someone in your life have a strong need to escape… in the sense of “being absolutely crazy about escape rooms and adventure games”? Give them a gift certificate they can redeem with a future reservation at Cube Secret.
You can’t go wrong with gourmet treats. Whether you’re looking to satisfy the most refined palates or give busy parents a break, prepared meals make great gifts. And let’s not forget oils, vinegars, and other fine products. To find all of this—and more—visit the Agneaux de Laval Farmers’ Market is the place to go.
Do you know that the person you want to give a gift to plays baseball, but you're not sure what they need? No problem. With a gift card from Baseball Town, they can buy whatever they need or want, from accessories to clothing. Or, you can always treat them to a batting session at Canada’s largest indoor batting cage facility.
Need a last-minute gift or an out-of-the-box idea? Consider gift certificates iFLY Laval. By giving the gift of a freefall experience, you’ll also have a great excuse to organize a group activity, since those who aren’t flying can watch and film for free.
Even if you know someone well, choosing a gift they’ll love is an art that takes time and a great deal of trust. To avoid the risk of getting it wrong, a gift card from CF Carrefour Laval is one of the best options.
This year, invite someone you care about to share the excitement with you—buy a pair of tickets for a performance of your choice at the Maison des arts de Laval. And from November 18 through December 31, enjoy a 20% discount on all shows by using the code CADEAU. At select [co]motion in Laval, you can also get 15% off on show nights when you present your ticket.
Food—especially good meals—brings people together and warms up the evening. For the people with whom you share these wonderful dining experiences, why not treat them to something that captures the spirit of these moments you cherish? For example, at Ricardo’s, you’ll find gourmet gift sets, items for the BBQ pro, and accessories for making unforgettable cocktails or homemade pizzas.
Life moves fast, and opportunities to take time for yourself are few and far between. Make a difference for someone close to your heart and treat them to one of the three holiday packages from Amerispa. A massage, a facial, or a spa experience—it makes a great gift, but above all, it’s a treat to enjoy.
