These Gifts Were Made in Ottawa

There’s no need to leave Ottawa to find the perfect gift for that special someone. From chocolates to soaps to one-of-a-kind items, here are some made-in-Ottawa gifts that will have everyone on your list celebrating the nation’s capital.

You say ‘festive holiday drink’, I say ‘small batch tonic’. Split Tree Tonic not only went into the Dragons’ Den—and scored a dragon—it’s also sure to be a hit in your friend’s home bar. We think the ginger vanilla will make a great seasonally appropriate addition to any drink.

Hand poured in Almonte, just outside of Ottawa, we can think of a few people on our list who would love Campy Soy Candles. With candle names and scents like ‘It’s Your Birthday’ and ‘A Fresh Start’, you’ll have plenty of choices, but we love the sound of ‘Breakfast in Bed.’

Don’t stop now, we’ve got 9 more fabulous local gifts to share with you.
