Never Be Mount Royals


Main and Local

What It Is: Fun fact if you didn’t know, Mount Royal is a volcanic-related hill in Montreal, and it’s where the city gets its name from. I couldn’t do an All Canadian month without featuring a tribute to one of our most unique cultural hotspots, Montreal. Main and Local is a cool boutique that features plenty of Montreal-themed goodies that aren’t your typical tourist schlock. From a dreamy ‘Key to Montreal’ necklace to retro-themed purses, pouches, cell phone cases and shoelaces that celebrate everything from the Royals to the Metro, there’s some cool finds here for anyone that’s got a soft spot for our nation’s largest French-dominated city.

Who It’s For: Your college-bound kid, to celebrate their new city. Your Montreal-born spouse, to celebrate their love of the city. Your jetsetting friend, to commemorate their time spent in this metropolitan city (and their love of bagels).

What It Costs: Prices start at about $7.99. I don’t think I saw anything over $100.

Where It’s At: Shop online here.

    The Montreal Snack Pack Magnets would be perfect for my friend who yearns for the smoked meat and the gourmet hot dogs from his birthplace. Or they could just make him drool more!

    I don’t really have a personal connection with Montreal but I lived in Toronto for many years so I would choose the Queen St West socks as it is one of my favourite spots in Toronto. http://mainandlocal.com/collections/toronto-souvenirs-and-gifts/products/toronto-queen-streets-socks.
