Finding the perfect gift can be a nightmare, especially when looking for something specific. Our founder, Viktoria, knows this pain all too well. She was trying to find holiday gifts meant for social workers and those in social services. Viktoria thought it would be simple, but she was wrong.
Viktoria bravely ventured into the depths of the Internet, the vast wilderness of online shopping, and the dreaded Amazon. And what did she find? Nothing that said, “I appreciate your dedication to helping others!”
The more she searched, the more frustrated she became. What began as a simple quest for a few thoughtful presents turned into a full-blown obsession. “If I can’t find it,” Viktoria declared (while throwing her hands up in the air), “I’ll just make it myself!”
Viktoria realized that other people were searching for unique, profession-specific gifts—and not just for social workers! So, she decided to make this idea a reality.
Now, Gifts By Profession is a proudly women-owned, Ontario-based small business. We work with skilled local artists and crafters to develop gifts that are as unique and special as the roles they honour. We’re 100% Canadian-made and committed to supporting our local communities.
Of course, we’re working on opening a retail store soon because shopping in person is a way better experience! So, stay tuned for that. While you wait, look through our collection to find the perfect present for the amazing people in your life.
