- By Nostalgia
Here at Nostalgia we try to support local businesses as much as possible, and then Canadian businesses if it's not local. If we can't find it here then we look to fair-trade companies, eco-friendly companies or companies supporting charitable causes. We especially love supporting businesses that work to empower women and also ones that are women-owned because we are one too!
