Spend with purpose this season with these gifts from Black-owned small businesses in and around Toronto’s east end; several are also founded by U of T Scarborough alum. This list barely scratches the surface of the show-stopping products and businesses around Scarborough. Check out our gift guide for more local businesses, and our gift guide for local Indigenous-owned businesses — the perfect gifts are closer than you think.
