Dillicious - Gourmet dill pickles

The Dough Co - Cookie dough

And here’s another idea.
If you receive an event ticket as a gift and can’t use it, try buying and selling on Tixel - a safe ticket resale marketplace without the risk of scams or inflated prices.
And for those travelling far and wide over the holidays, Bushride is a long-distance rideshare service that can reduce your carbon footprint by connecting you with drivers with empty seats!
These are just a few gift ideas that are unique and thoughtful but also support local innovation and sustainability while making a positive impact. Happy gifting!
