“Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.”
— Edna Ferber

🌿A thoughtfully curated digital holiday marketplace
celebrating Canadian, female-led brands.🌿

This season, we’re bringing together a limited number of small businesses to be featured in our Virtual Christmas Market — a cozy, intentional online shopping experience created for gift-givers who care about beauty, storytelling, and supporting women-led, local brands.

✨ Why Join?

This isn’t just another crowded market or holiday sale. This is a curated campaign — built for brands that value quality, alignment, and creative storytelling.

For $45, your brand will be featured across our print-inspired digital platforms and shared with an engaged, intentional audience looking for meaningful gifts this season.

 

🎁 What You’ll Receive:

1. A Beautiful Vendor Feature on Our Christmas Market Page

Your brand will be showcased on our curated market landing page — styled more like a holiday gift guide than a traditional marketplace.
Includes:
✓ Product photo
✓ Brand name + city
✓ Short brand story or gift suggestion
✓ Link to shop
✓ Optional promo code

2. Your Product Featured in Our Holiday Gift Guide PDF

We’re creating a digital editorial-style gift guide — downloadable and shareable — highlighting every vendor by theme (Under $50, Handmade, Cozy & Local, etc.).
Perfect for gifting inspiration and used in our email marketing and promotions.

3. A Founder's Spotlight Post (No Camera Needed!)

Instead of going live, we’ll feature your brand in a thoughtful, magazine-style Instagram carousel or Story.
Includes:
✓ Brand origin story or quote
✓ Founder name & product highlight
✓ Holiday gifting tip or tradition
✓ Branded visuals + tags

4. Email Feature in Our Holiday Roundups

Your product will be included in a gift edit sent to our engaged newsletter list — reaching conscious consumers, creatives, and gift-givers who value supporting Canadian women-led businesses.


5. Cross-Promotion + Holiday Countdown

Each vendor will be included in our “12 Days of Gifting” campaign — a festive countdown highlighting various products per day via posts and stories on social media.
✓ Promoted across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and our blog

Upgrade Available for full page in the gift guide with 2 product features.

We know small businesses get asked for a lot — that’s why we’ve priced this accessibly and packed it with value.
