The countdown to the holidays is most definitely on for the TSA team! It has been a wild 2021 for everyone, another year full of uncertainty and change. So, we’re truly savouring the call to relax and celebrate the season.
As we prep (and shop!) for the holidays, our team thought it would be fun to share our own Christmas wishlists. From art supplies to handcrafted jewelry and local skincare products, here’s what we’re hoping to find under the tree this year…

Client Love
If you need more ideas to add to your wishlist, we’ve fallen in love with the handmade lavender goods from Little Lamb Lavender, a small business based out of Smithers, BC that makes natural soaps, lotion, and face oil to candles – and even whimsical birds nests!
Our client, MisHMasH Imports is perfect for those wanting to add some artisan-style décor to their home – while supporting female artisans in Africa. Some of our top picks are the Karoo Angel, a decorative piece handcrafted in South Africa, along with the very cool BlocArt wall hangings made from repurposed wood and craft materials. Heads up: You can find Laurie and the MisHMasH team at the Vancouver Christmas Market this year!
Happy holidays everyone!
