Keeping It Living gift cards

E-Card

Alternative gift e-card example

Christmas is coming and this year visits with relatives, friends and family are being discouraged. In these social distancing times sending a beautiful card will show you care and support our local environment.

Due to COVID-19 our offices are currently closed, however, thanks to a few hardworking individuals you can still get these sought after cards from the Uplifters Shop and Edible Island. Thanks to Ulrike Schmidt, the Uplifters Shop and Edible Island for making this happen!

In addition to our art cards, we have alternative gift cards for those who want to make a donation in someones name instead of getting them a traditional gift. Our alternative gift cards have gone completely online this year, making this gift waste free. With our online form you can purchase multiple cards at once, specify which day you would like the card delivered and request a tax receipt! Visit our Alternative Gift page to order yours today.

On a separate note, handmade masks are still available at the Spool Sewing Studio at#4 – 420 Fitzgerald Ave in Courtenay.
