At River Market we are more than a collection of businesses under one roof, we are a community of locally-owned businesses.
As a community, our shops work together all the time and this holiday season they’ve pulled together in many different ways.
Cosy Yarns and Gifts and Kinder Books paired up for an Instagram giveaway this holiday season offering a great seasonal story, “Ugly Christmas Sweater Rebellion,” and a private knitting class to make your own Christmas sweater! Fun for all.

Origins Chocolate Bar has partnered with six River Market shops to offer River Market Gift Boxes this December. One of the four gift boxes is the Chocolate and Tea Taster that features a curated pairing of teas and chocolate to bring out the best of the flavours. Find more gift boxes featuring favourites from Cosy Yarns, Kinder Books, Rain City Games, Jolene’s Natural Soaps and One Thing Lockets.

The team at Butcher’s Table is leading a “12 days of giving” donation drive with other shops at River Market. From Dec 9 to Dec 20, they will be accepting donations from members of the public. Items most in need at Lookout Society and Purpose Society are non-perishable foods as well as donations of new socks, underwear and outdoor clothing.
