The best holiday gifts are thoughtful, unique, and enduring — carefully considered choices that spark joy in the recipient throughout the year. Atlantic Canada has a tiny population, but when it comes to creators, artists, and experiences, we punch well above our weight, as you’ll see in this year’s Saltscapes-curated selection of stocking stuffers. From our family to yours, happy holidays (and happy shopping)! 

Cool Hand Nukes
Have you ever juggled hot bowls from the microwave to the counter or table? Never again! Cool Hand Nukes bowl cozies are made of 100 per cent cotton. That means they’re safe to put into the microwave along with the food you’re heating up. No more juggling! Each one is sewn individually by hand in Nova Scotia. They are machine washable and made to stay looking great for years of daily use. With dozens of designs to choose from, they are a useful and beautiful addition to your home, and a perfect gift for a friend or loved one. See our full selection at www.coolhands.ca, and take advantage of our Holiday Bundle promotion!

Grohmann Paring Knives
Buy local! Grohmanns are great stocking stuffers that will pass down through the generations. The Paring knife with 3-inch blade is ideal for fruit or veggies, weighing 29 grams. Steel is partial tang, meaning it goes partway through the handle and durably riveted, making it a more lightweight choice. Available in the classic natural rosewood handle as shown or dishwasher-safe polypropylene handles. Available straight blade or fully serrated blade, which is great for tomatoes, potatoes, apples, and more. Order at www.gknives.com, call 1-888-756-4837, or drop in downtown Pictou, N.S., at 116 Water Street.
