Leigh from The Soap Company of Nova Scotia has got you covered in that department. Her soaps, bath balms, and candles are high quality gifts for anyone that might be a little tough to shop for on your list.

Wear Your Label

Over the past few years we’ve had the pleasure of watching Wear Your Label grow from a hometown favourite to an international powerhouse in the mental health and fashion world. This year we’re including them on our gift guide list once again because everyone has somehow been touched by mental illness. Whether you live with mental illness or are an ally for someone who does the Wear Your Label designs are an option to show your support for all those who struggle. Plus a portion of all their profits goes towards mental health programs — that’s definitely a bonus!
