30 days/30 gifts

Bringing together a large number of merchants and producers, it inspires visitors every day with an original local gift idea.
Check it out for some fun suggestions!
Preparing a local feast
There are plenty of opportunities to showcase local products during the holidays. Consider putting a local wine from Vignoble Domaine Bresee or Vignoble Domaine Girouard on the table, or offering beers from one of Sutton's two microbreweries: Brasserie À L’Abordage and Microbrasserie Auberge Sutton Brouerie. Why not prepare a cheese fondue from La Rumeur Affamée with freshly baked bread from La Valse des Pains? And for Boxing Day lunch, why not try a bagel from Round Top Bagels? And if you feel like having a treat, call on Matis Traiteur, you'll be charmed!
Give the gift of a unique find from a local craftsman
Give the gift of a unique piece, a treasure that will find a home with those you love. Sutton is brimming with passionate artisans: discover the jewelry of Ariane Marois, the leather creations of Compagnie Robinson, or the handcrafted works of local creators at the Farfelu collective boutique. A favorite? Pottery from Luloba Céramique, which also offers workshops. Giving the gift of handmade products is a great way to please, especially with Sweet Mama Grass' natural creations for eco-friendly friends.
Think green packaging
In Sutton, Susan Keays Kreations is a master of eco-friendly gift wrapping! From bags for wine bottles to creative, original and colorful jute bags, you're sure to find the bag that will make your loved ones happy! The Vert Partout boutique is also a little gold mine for finding the perfect gift or packaging, and we bet you'll come away with a gift of your very own!
Offer an outdoor experience
What better way to get your family moving, or to get others moving, than to offer tickets or a ski pass for Mont Sutton, with or without equipment rental, a Fat Bike outing with Plein air Sutton, or a hiking pass for the Parc d’environnement naturel de Sutton. Consider a night’s stay in a PODS accommodation at Au Diable Vert. Great ideas for giving your loved ones a breath of fresh air!
