cSPACE Holiday Gift Guide 2025
Shop local gifts this season from our cSPACE Tenants.
Discover locally made, art-forward gifts from our cSPACE tenants in this curated holiday guide celebrating creativity, community, and craft.
This time of year, we all get to choose where our dollars go — and choosing local truly makes a difference. About 66 cents of every dollar spent locally stays in the community, supporting the artists and creative entrepreneurs who bring so much talent and energy to our building. If you’re looking for gifts with heart and a story behind them, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.
Holiday Ornaments
Delicate, distinctive, and deeply rooted in craft tradition, these handcrafted ornaments are created by Alberta artists using a wide range of materials and techniques. Each piece is a tiny artwork in its own right — perfect for elevating your holiday décor or gifting something that will be unwrapped year after year with a knowing smile.
Starting at $30
Brand Jitsu (Book)
Part practical guide, part creative pep talk, Brand Jitsu is a smart, approachable read for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating the slippery world of marketing. Michael Dargie’s debut book distills years of industry experience into clear, real-world insights — minus the jargon, plus a healthy dose of honesty. A thoughtful gift for big thinkers and business builders alike.
Buy online or at local retailer. $24.99
Beam Paints
Vibrant, handmade, and grounded in Indigenous knowledge and land-based practices, Beam Paints are as meaningful as they are beautiful. At Lucky Small Things, you’ll find this celebrated Indigenous Canadian paint brand alongside a carefully curated selection of locally made, artist-crafted goods — perfect for creatives, art lovers, or anyone who appreciates colour with purpose.
Magazine Subscription
Give stories that last longer than the holidays. AMPA’s magazine subscriptions showcase Alberta voices, ideas, and creativity across a wide range of interests — from culture and food to business and the outdoors. Choose any two titles and save 50%, making this a gift that keeps arriving, issue after issue, long after the wrapping paper’s recycled.
Bamboo Merino Tights
These aren’t your average tights. Riyoko’s Bamboo–Merino blend offers breathable comfort, durability, and a beautifully soft feel that holds up to real life (and real winters). Thoughtfully designed and ethically made, they’re a wardrobe staple that balances function with understated elegance — cozy, chic, and endlessly wearable.
Buy online for $69.
Letterpress Cards
There’s something special about ink you can feel. Feast Studio + Press creates handcrafted letterpress cards and art prints using traditional printing methods that bring texture, warmth, and intention to every piece. Perfect for holiday greetings, heartfelt notes, or framing-worthy mini artworks.
Cards starting at $5.
Colour Analysis Session
Give the gift of self-discovery (and confidence). An in-person colour season analysis at Anneke Forbes Studio helps participants uncover the colours that truly complement their natural features. It’s a personalized, practical experience that transforms how someone shops, dresses, and sees themselves — a gift that pays dividends every morning thereafter.
Starting at $200
Local Art Prints
Studio C’s 50/50 Marketplace is a vibrant hub for discovering local talent. With postcards starting at $2 and prints from $10, it’s an accessible way to support artists while collecting original work that’s full of personality. Ideal for stocking stuffers, small gestures, or filling that one blank wall that’s been judging you all year.
