GUIDE

Gift guide 2020

This year, there is uncertainty as to what our holiday celebrations will look like. The Legault government extended the 28-day restriction period just before Halloween. It obviously makes us wonder what our celebrations will look like, but one thing is certain, we will have to adapt in order to ensure the safety of all and above all, to continue to control the curve so as not to overload our emergencies and put an extra burden on our healthcare workers who have had little respite since the start of the pandemic.

One of the first changes to make is regarding our shopping habits. We must avoid filling the shopping centres. Shopping online is an option to consider, as is visiting your local merchants and artisan shops, in order to encourage the local economy.

The key thing, however, is to do it early, especially considering the recommendations from Canada Post, which foresees a very busy period.

To help you, we have prepared a gift guide for you. You will find stone suggestions for the whole family, as well as a little surprise!

SHIPPING DEADLINES FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFTS Canada Post has asked Canadians to do their holiday shopping in advance this year. The federal company apprehends a very busy period because of the popularity of online shopping in the current context of the pandemic.

According to a survey conducted for Canada Post in June, 48% of Canadian consumers plan to shop primarily or exclusively online for their holiday gifts.

To help you navigate this, we prepared a delivery schedule to make you receive your gifts on time. Please see the table below for the deadline to place your orders depending on the delivery location.
