Canadian Gift Guide

What It Is: Canadian upcycled leather goods designer Shannon of Agent Reclaim was one of my earliest collaborators with the Canadian Gift Guide, so it only seemed natural I check in with her on the eve of my blog’s third-year anniversary to see what’s new. As of late, Agent Reclaim’s line of sleek & eco chic bags and accessories has expanded to include men’s gear, including two gorgeous bag styles and a set of rocker-guy cuffs. You can order any of Agent Reclaim’s standard styles, or customize your piece by sending in dad’s old leather coat, or requesting a custom size to accommodate the new laptop you’re tucking inside.

Who It’s For: Your aging former biker dad, as a nice way to commemorate his former life while also giving him a handy tote for when he comes to visit for the weekend. Your stylish business-y husband, to stash his iPad and important papers on his commute to work. Your hipster little brother, to wear at his bartending job on the weekends.

What It Costs: While you can do custom tweaks to the pieces (based on the fact they’re all made-to-order), the base price for the cuffs are $26.50, the unisex multipurpose bag on the left is $212, and the oversize multipurpose tote on the right is $478.

Where It’s At: You can access Agent Reclaim’s full line-up through their Etsy shop, including plenty of pretty picks for the ladies. As a special bonus this month, you can also score 20% off your order as long as it’s placed before June 30th. Simply type in ‘dad20’ in the coupon code area when checking out to receive a discount!

Hmm well I did promise a few extra bonus entry opportunities this month didn’t I? If you haven’t read about my subscriber drive, head over here.
