Our 2025 Calgary Gift Guide
This year, I Know A Guy Renovations has gathered a curated collection of elevated, locally made and locally loved goodies from right here in Calgary! Thoughtful, unique gifts that bring a little extra heart to the holidays. Whether you’re shopping for the foodie, the homebody, the style lover, or the friend who already “has everything,” these local gems are sure to surprise, delight, and make your gifting feel meaningful and personal!
For the Foodie…
For the host, the foodie, the client, or the “I have everything” friend.
This holiday season, share the joy of exceptional wine with the people who mean the most. Whether you’re thanking a client, celebrating with friends, or surprising a loved one, Noble Ridge makes gifting effortless AND unforgettable.
Choose from beautifully curated 3-bottle gift packages featuring wines from the Noble Series, Lion’s Pride Reserve, and King’s Ransom collections.
They wrap, pack, and deliver! You just take the credit for the perfect holiday gift.
Sweeten someone’s season with locally loved, scratch-made pies that feel like a warm hug.
Perfect for dinner hosts, neighbours, or anyone who loves a festive indulgence.
Treat someone special to dinner at The Eden — a warm, family-owned bistro tucked in Calgary’s Inglewood neighbourhood. With its cozy “blue collar” vibe, thoughtful plates from chef Dirk McCabe (like oysters on the half shell, steak frites, or seasonal vegetarian dishes), and friendly community-style energy, it’s the kind of place that feels like a little local secret.
For the Home Body…
One of Calgary’s most established art-galleries, celebrating original works from Canadian artists. Since 1979 they’ve offered a rich collection of original oil, acrylic, watercolor paintings, stone and bronze sculptures, Inuit and indigenous art, and hand-pulled prints.
Whether you’re picking a bold contemporary painting, a serene landscape, or a thoughtful sculpture, a piece from Webster Galleries becomes more than decor — it’s a meaningful gift that supports local artists and brings lasting beauty into a home.
Candles from Milk Jar Candle Co.
Treat someone to a thoughtfully handmade candle from Milk Jar Candle Co.! A Calgary-based candle-maker known for clean-burning soy & coconut-wax candles poured by hand.
Whether it’s a cozy “Hygge” candle that wraps a room in vanilla, cedar, and smoky warmth; a bright and fresh “Bohemia” with lemongrass and lavender; or a seasonal treat like “Harvest” with spiced-woodsy notes, each jar is created with care, framed in minimalist glass with a crackling wooden wick, and designed to burn cleanly and beautifully.
Vintage Decor Finds from Bex Vintage
Treat them to a piece of history and character this Christmas with something from BEX Vintage — Calgary’s beloved mid-century vintage furniture & décor shop. Whether it’s an iconic teak lounge chair, a retro lighting fixture, a unique rug, or timeless décor from decades past, each find at BEX is restored, chosen with care, and full of soul.
Give someone a visit (or gift-voucher) to STASH Lounge — Calgary’s cozy, community-first yarn & fibre-arts boutique in historic Inglewood!
Whether they’ve got years of knitting experience or have never touched a hook, STASH offers everything: beautiful yarn from Canadian mills, supplies for knitting, crochet, weaving, macramé and more, plus a welcoming vibe that celebrates beginners and seasoned crafters alike.
For Some Self-Care…
Routine. Natural Beauty Goodies
Treat someone to a little self-care this Christmas with a gift from Routine Natural Beauty — a proudly Canadian brand that crafts natural, sustainably packaged personal-care essentials right in the Rockies.
Whether it’s a beautifully scented deodorant (“Cat Lady,” “Sexy Sadie,” “The Curator,” and others), a nourishing body cream, or a botanic lip balm — each product is made with clean, nature-first ingredients, and designed to turn the everyday into something a bit more mindful.
A Gift Card to Holistic Institute of Health
Treat someone you care about (or yourself) to a wellness reset at HIHF — Calgary’s holistic health clinic offering fertility, prenatal/postnatal, and whole-body care. From acupuncture, naturopathy, and massage to chiropractic, yoga and emotional support — their integrated team guides you gently through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or hormonal-health journeys.
A Gift from BLU’s Fashion Boutique
Treat someone special this Christmas by gifting them something stylish from BLU’S — a boutique for women who love timeless elegance and modern fashion. Their curated selection ranges from chic outerwear and statement handbags to designer dresses, trousers, and accessories, offering a little luxury and confidence in every piece. A gift from BLU’S feels like more than a present, it’s a nod to their style, strength, and individuality!
