Handmade gifts make the best gifts

Here at PLN we love supporting Canadian makers–especially when they are moms and dads! That’s why we get really excited for the semi-annual One of a Kind Show & Sale. Each spring and fall, the show features hundreds of different makers and talented artisans and it’s one of the largest craft shows in North America.

Here are some of our fave finds from the spring OOAKS (March 28 to April 1 at Enercare Centre Exhibition Place Toronto). Can’t make it to the show? Shop online at oneofakindonlineshop.com.
