Get Wedding Ready This Summer with Scout 

Wedding season is here! Whether you’re attending a wedding or two this year as a guest, part of a wedding party, or walking down the aisle yourself, finding the right personal touches can help to make the big day all the more special. Here, we’ve handpicked a few wedding gifts and wedding day essentials for everyone and, as always, we encourage those who can to come in-store or contact us if you’re looking for more ideas, have special requests, or need to travel a distance to visit us! We’re a small shop so we might not always have all items in stock, but we’ll always have another suggestion up our sleeves in a pinch!

For Those Attending

For those looking for gift ideas in shop, explore our collection of Canadian-made ceramic mugs for a matching set or mix-and-match designs from Hamilton-based Greg Voisin, many featuring a little sketched heart on the inner lip of the mug for that extra touch. Hand-designed gift wrap in gorgeous and fun designs and plenty of cards to choose from, all created by independent designers from across North America and a couple from the UK. For a little something to slip in an envelope for the newlyweds moving into some new digs, a couple matching keychains showing their neighbourhood pride will do the trick. Come in store if you’re looking for even more gift ideas.

For Those in the Wedding Party

Weddings can be a little hectic for those in the wedding party too.

For those walking down the aisle, these little touches can also make for great gifts for your wedding party that they can use long after the big day.
