Little Smoky Gift Co.
Why LITTLE SMOKY Gift Co.? Owner and manager, Carla, resides near the small hamlet of Little Smoky in northern Alberta aptly named after the river that flows around it: Little Smoky River.
The river is where Carla, her husband and four children spend many hours playing, swimming, fishing and relaxing. It is a special spot where many memories have been, and continue to be, made. It seemed only fitting to name her company after it when it began in 2019.
What started as a little online shop with only a handful of offerings, has now become a full-time job and has expanded from just online to a permanent retail location.
Valleyview is one of the closest towns to Little Smoky; approximately 45km from Carla’s home, and is where the retail store is located.
Carla’s favourite thing about the job is creating (& taking photos of) the unique gift sets and baskets that Little Smoky Gift Co. offers. “I love the challenge of finding products that fit well together – not just in how they look, but practically as well”.
Little Smoky Gift Co. is a proud supporter of Canadian makers and small businesses. The majority of products in the store are Canadian made or designed.
