Do you value community-based initiatives and unique gift ideas made right here in Canada? Then Caribou Gifts is the shop for you.
Located in the heart of the Junction, Caribou Gifts is your one-stop-shop for all things Canadian and handmade. Megan Munro, chief gift curator and owner of Caribou Gifts, stocks her shelves with thoughtfully curated and ethically sourced products ranging from children’s toys to housewares.
Megan’s business model is rooted in the value of giving back to the community and supporting local businesses, especially those that are female-owned. In fact, a portion of all sales at Caribou Gifts is generously donated to community-based charities here in Toronto. Caribou Gifts has already donated over $12,000 to local charities such as Daily Bread Food Bank, Parkdale Community Food Bank and the Black Health Alliance.
With that being said, it comes as no surprise that Megan and her team are dedicated to sustainability and representation through community-based involvement.
Back in 2020, Caribou Gifts began as an e-commerce business, launching only a few weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Since then, Megan and her family have successfully grown Caribou Gifts into a permanent retail storefront in the vibrant Junction neighbourhood.
Along with her two daughters and husband Pav, Megan devotes time and effort into curating gifts that send a special sentiment of “I Care”, no matter the occasion. She strives to make every gift as thoughtful, personalized, and memorable as possible.
Moreover, Caribou Gifts prides themselves on their ability to service a diverse range of customer needs. A few of their featured products include newborn gifts, children’s books, gift baskets, bath bombs, snacks, candles, stationary and even DIY kits!
Caribous Gifts also offers a completely customizable corporate gifting service. With this service, not only are you showing appreciation and celebrating success in the workplace, but you’re also solidifying your support for local suppliers and family-owned businesses.
You can shop Caribou Gifts online at www.caribougifts.ca or in-store at 228 Mavety Street in Toronto.
