Shop Like a Local: Squamish Gift Shops for Everyone
Posted on: April 25, 2025
Around here, we know that souvenirs are more than just keychains and fridge magnets (though hey, we love a good fridge magnet). They’re memory-holders, conversation starters, and sometimes, just an excuse to buy yourself a little something-something. So, whether you're shopping for your adventurous aunt, your picky co-worker, or—you know—yourself, here are four charming Squamish gift shops that are chock full of awesome stuff.
The Squamish Store at the Adventure Centre
Located in the iconic Squamish Adventure Centre (that big building on the 99 that looks like it could take off at any moment), you’ll find The Squamish Store. Think locally made goods, nature-inspired art, Squamish merch, games, books, all with just the right amount of mountain-town flair.
Sea to Sky Gondola Gift Shops (Base + Summit)
Yes, you can shop with a view. Start at the base of the Sea to Sky Gondola for outdoorsy essentials, jewellery and souvenirs before you ride the gondola up to the summit. At the top, the gift shop ups the altitude with artisan finds, gondola branded gear, toys, and panoramic views that may or may not influence your purchasing decisions.
The Company Store at the Britannia Mine Museum
What do you get when you mix mining history and a killer gift shop? With a surprising selection of rock-inspired gifts, jewellery, toys, glassware and copperware, The Company Store at Britannia Mine Museum is where geology gets glam. From sparkly crystals and locally-made jewellery to quirky science-themed toys for the kiddos, it’s the kind of place where you suddenly develop a deep love for minerals—and maybe leave with a bag full of them.
The Greenhouse at Fergie’s
If Anthropologie and a Squamish cabin had a baby, it would be The Greenhouse at Fergie’s. Tucked behind the dreamy Fergie’s Café, this tiny-but-mighty shop is full of curated home goods, handcrafted gifts, and Canadian small business brands that’ll make your heart skip a beat. It’s impossible to leave empty-handed. Trust us, we’ve tried.
And a Little Local Secret…
Still haven’t found the one? Don’t fret. For the outdoorsy person in your life, try Capra Running, Valhalla Pure Outfitters or Urban Alpine. For foodies, Peak Provisions Grocery & Goods or Green Olive Market & Cafe both have artisanal goodies that anyone would love to get in a gift basket. Or who knows? You might just stumble upon the perfect gift at Arrow Wood Games, the Squamish Farmers’ Market (seasonal, local, and full of delicious surprises), Gather Bookshop and Book Mountain, or a dozen other hidden gems sprinkled around town.
