Cookery*
Know someone whose New Year's resolution is to cook more? Neighbourhood favourite and Toronto-based brand Cookery is the kitchenware gifting answer you've been looking for.
Shop the hottest kitchen tools, accessories, and gadgets like the new KitchenAid Go Collection — an improved, multi-use cordless lineup that includes blenders, choppers, and mixers and makes for the ultimate culinary gift.
Run entirely on rechargeable battery power, each KitchenAid Go Collection appliance uses the same battery pack — meaning you only have to buy it once. Simply swap the battery in the appliances, et voila! Kitchen ease at your fingertips.
313 Design Market
Roncy's 313 Design Market offers holiday shoppers a curated selection of furniture, lighting, and home accessories — all proving to be thoughtful gifts.
What's in store? Expect stylish lamps, vases, blankets, clocks, and more, perfect for a home design lover.
Scout
Visit local gift shop Scout for a handpicked collection of locally crafted goods. Whether you’re looking for stunning holiday greeting cards, dainty earrings, or even beeswax candles, Scout has a gift for everyone on your list.
The store also offers a wide range of Canadian brands, making it even easier to support local this season.
The Chocolateria
Anybody in the mood for chocolate truffle gift boxes? If the answer is yes, then head out to The Chocolateria and get ready to load up on festive treats.
Salted toffee bark, peanut brittle, and the ever-fun smash ornament (where you actually crack open the chocolate treat) are just a few of the many heavenly creations waiting for you.
The store is known for (basically) dipping anything in chocolate — don't forget to check out the chocolate-covered twizzlers, potato chips, and butter shortbreads.
Scooter Girl Toys
Shop for all the kiddos in your life with the truly impressive stock at Scooter Girl Toys, a beloved Roncesvalles institution.

Muttonhead
Check out Canadian-made clothing brand Muttonhead (or MTN.HEAD), a spot that blends city street style with mountain trail functionality. Designed and sewn in Ontario, every piece has been crafted to last and transitions seamlessly into your closet.
Fleece sweaters, merino toques, and durable rain ponchos — what more could you ask for?
So, grab your bags and finish your holiday shopping off by supporting local and visit Roncesvalles for all your gifting needs!
