7 gift ideas from Quebec companies
Winter is well and truly here: rooftops are covered in white, evenings are lit by candlelight, and the air is slowly filling with the magic of the holiday season. The last month of the year is the perfect time to slow down, get together, and find the perfect gift to delight your loved ones. At Bora Boréal, this time of year inspires us every year: it reminds us of the importance of sharing precious moments, living fully in the present, and celebrating all that Quebec's nature has to offer.
For this gift guide, we have gathered our favorite Quebec products, carefully selected to slip under your Christmas tree. These are local companies that are already featured in our cottages and retreats, chosen for their authenticity and connection to the Bora Boréal universe. Each gift extends the experience of well-being, nature, and human connection, and tells the story of passionate local creators.

01. The Holiyay Puzzle
Holiyay puzzles, designed and made in Quebec, bring that moment of calm that feels so good in winter. Their modern illustrations and soft colors add a comforting touch to cozy evenings spent under the tree or by the fire.
Found in our cottages, they invite you to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the moment. An ideal gift idea for those who like to relax with family or friends during the holidays.

02. The Conversation Game La Komplice
The holiday season is also a time to gather around the table and reconnect with loved ones. La Komplice, a Quebec-based company, offers conversation games designed to encourage sincere exchanges. No competition, no winners or losers: just questions that open doors, make people laugh, think, or confide in each other.
We love the spirit behind this brand so much that we provide the game in our chalets to encourage moments of interaction.
03. The Hooké Book
Whether for fishing enthusiasts, outdoor lovers, or those who dream of northern adventures, the book Hooké is a gift that leaves a lasting impression. This Quebec-based company celebrates nature with genuine sensitivity, conveyed through striking images and a deeply human narrative.
The book perfectly reflects the world we love to share at Bora Boréal: a respectful relationship with nature, a quest for authenticity, and a sense of freedom. That's why it takes pride of place in our cabins, ready to inspire our guests.

04. The Wonderlands x Bora Boréal sweater
This gift is the result of an exclusive collaboration between Les Wonderlands and Bora Boréal. A sweater, designed and printed in Quebec, featuring the design of our iconic Minibora. Comfortable, soft, and durable, this partnership is particularly close to our hearts. It is the meeting of two worlds that share the same values: authenticity, creativity, and love for our destinations.
Giving this sweater as a gift means giving a piece of the Bora Boréal experience to take with you wherever you go!
05. Hubert-Saint-Jean coffee
It's hard to imagine a gentler wake-up call than a cup of freshly brewed coffee as the sun rises over the lake. Hubert-Saint-Jean coffee, roasted in Sherbrooke, accompanies our guests every morning and is often one of their favorite things.
Offered free of charge in our chalets, this specialty coffee is a simple gift, but one that provides a real moment of comfort, especially when it comes from a local company that we are delighted to promote.

06. The thermal experience at Strøm Nordic Spa
In the heart of winter, when the days grow shorter and we seek a moment of respite, an experience at Strøm Nordic Spa becomes a true breath of fresh air. Whether in Sherbrooke or Old Quebec, the hot baths, relaxation areas, and connection to nature prolong the spirit of rejuvenation that we love to offer.
At Bora Boréal, we like to extend the experience of our stays beyond the lake and floating cabins. That's why we've partnered with Strøm Nordic Spa tooffer our guests an exclusive 15% discount on their visit.
