Do you have someone on your gift list who would appreciate a little "Islandness" this Christmas? Our PEI artisans, crafters and producers are so passionate about what they create, produce and harvest. They have worked hard all year and are ready to ship their creations and products right to your door. 

  • Anything Anne from the Anne Store with a large selection of dolls, books and other treasures.  
  • Books: The Bookmark offers a great selection of Island books.
  • Chocolate lobster pops or a "Crow Bar" for those who favour the dark side by Jane & Sue Chocolate.
  • Delectable drinks: There’s no place like Canada's Food Island for great taste paired with local craft brews.
  • Earrings made with PEI sea glass by Fire & Water Creation.
  • Face & Hand Cream made with PEI potato juice and PEI Abyssinian seed oil by the Island Potato Soap Co.
  • Canada's Food Island Gift Cards are now available to purchase online and send to anyone, anywhere.
  • Hot sauce by Maritime Madness will be appreciated by the food lovers on your list.
  • Island Artisans of the Arts & Heritage Trail are busy year-round producing one-of-a-kind treasures that you won’t find anywhere else.

  • Knitwear, notions and necessities that are 100% Canadian with most from PEI by Knit Pickers.
  • There are only two Lobster seasons on PEI, but you’d be forgiven if you thought there were three given the amount of lobster eaten at Christmas. Many local lobster markets ship to your door.
  • Mustard: The creators of Atlantic Mustard Mill have surpassed their mission to create 50 shades of mustard using the finest ingredients and 100% solar energy. With 58 condiments now available in their online store, they cut their mustard goal in 2021. 
  • The popular handcrafted PEI Necklace available with a heart to mark your favourite small town by Kuriosities.
  • Oysters are one of the great celebration foods. For many, it is a tradition to serve oysters as part of a Christmas Eve dinner. Contact a PEI oyster producer to have a peck or two shipped to you.
  • PEI gift boxes with a selection of flavours & finds by PEI producers and makers shipped to you.
