A nod to the spectacular natural beauty of British Columbia’s West Coast, The Nest Throw by Tofino Towel Co. imbues beachy bliss into their winter decor. Made of a lambswool blend, the towel is available in two colourways that reflect the area’s sand, sky and sea. Warm and light, the eco-friendly and Fair Trade-certified blanket is equally at home on the beach as it is on the couch in front of a crackling fire. $125 at tofinotowelco.com
Free to Roam
Inspired by a Vancouver influencer couple’s love of travel and adventure, Roam the Brand’s luxury ceramic wicks bring the feeling of wanderlust into their living room. Each candle is made using coconut-apricot wax hand-poured into a minimalist vessel that suits any space. Choose from three fragrances—Churchill, Tofino and Lulworth—inspired by destinations close to the couples’ hearts. Bonus: every purchase supports Polar Bears International or Coral Gardeners. $55 at roamthebrand.com
French Lessons
With its upscale Quebecois comfort foods, Vancouver’s newly Michelin-starred St. Lawrence Restaurant is a nostalgic ode to owner J.C. Poirier’s French roots. Now the foodie on your list can recreate those same dishes, plus many more Poirier grew up eating in La Belle Province—from tourtiere to tarte tatin—at home, when you gift them the chef’s first cookbook, Where the River Narrows: Classic French and Nostalgic Quebecois Recipes from St. Lawrence Restaurant. $44.55 at amazon.ca
