I'm sure you are aware of the One of a Kind Show that takes place in the Spring and just before the Holidays every year, but did you know that OOAK has an online shop where you can buy handmade all year round? The One of Kind Online Shop curates such a unique and diverse selection of Canadian, handmade goods, and I am so excited to be collaborating with OOAK Online to showcase a selection of gifts that I simply adore. The Shop is filled with completely unique, made-with-love goodies, such as ceramics, jewellery, housewares, sweets, clothes, and more! I could go on and on!
Supporting Canadian artisans is important for a variety of obvious reasons, but why not surprise your friends and family with truly one of a kind gifts that you can't find anywhere else this Holiday season? I have rounded up my top picks from the OOAK Online Shop to help make gift giving easier this season. And (drumroll please) the One of a Kind Online Shop is kindly giving one Pastels & Pastries reader a $100 gift card to their shop! Amazing- I know! Be sure to enter below and let me know what you would buy for someone special with the gift card if you were to win!

There are even more inspiring Canadian artisans to meet and treasures to be found at the OOAK Show & Sale, which takes place from November 26th to December 6th this year. Let me know if you plan to attend!
This post was brought to you by the One of a Kind Online Shop, however all opinions are truly my own. I think supporting local artisans is so important and ultimately want to give them the credit the deserve. Once you see how talented the designers are, and the creativity and beauty behind the the different lines of intricate goods you will understand why I am so excited for this chance to share some Canadian talent!

i would love to get the caramel sauces and/or the aromatherapy roll-on (great idea). thank you for the opportunity, we are going to OOAK on November 29th, can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteI have my eye on that roll-on, too!! Good luck!
Deleteall of these items look amazing! If I had to choose a few, I would pick number 1, 3, 12, 15 and 16.
ReplyDeleteGood picks!
DeleteThere are so many beautiful pieces and food to try and buy at the OOAK in Toronto. I'm going on the 28th with a friend, when we have the full day. You need several hours to try see everything that's taking place. It's overwhelming in the most amazing way. In a fantasy world I wouldn't have to worry about budgets and could just shop to my hearts content.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about needing the full day, Kristal! Happy shopping!
DeleteCan you believe I've never been to the show? Apparently, I am missing out on a lot, because I love everything here! I think #8 is especially fun and unique (for yourself or a gift), but I love the earrings too!

Something About That
I hope you get there this year, Jackie!
DeleteI love the OOAK show! I usually go 2-3 times to every Christmas show. It's such a fun day out - and night out (the late night is always fun)! From your list I've never tried the Caramel Sauce - it looks so good. Definitely on my list this year.

ReplyDeleteA great Hawaiian style party have guests dressed in delightful floral prints. The more outrageously combined floral patterns and colors the better it is for company party ideas. Decorate your wide-brimmed hat with flowers (silk or real) and add blooms to your shoes to complete your outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love the Nikkuu Nugget Planter. What a beautiful and diverse piece!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the little ceramic bowls (9). Makes me nostalgic for ceramics class. I really miss it.
ReplyDeleteLove your choices! Can't wait to see all the amazing artisans at OOAK show!
ReplyDeleteI need number 6 to decorate my house!!
