CanGift Winter 2026 — Let’s Connect

We’re thrilled to share that StumpCraft will be exhibiting at two CanGift wholesale shows this quarter, and we would love to see you there.

If you’re attending either show, please swing by our booth to say hello. It’s a great opportunity to see our puzzles in person, explore current and upcoming collections, and discuss how we can support you throughout 2026.

Looking Back: A Strong CanGift Alberta 2025

CanGift Alberta 2025 was an exceptionally successful show for StumpCraft. We connected with a wide range of thoughtful retailers, opened new wholesale partnerships, and received enthusiastic feedback on our craftsmanship, storytelling, and Canadian fine art focus.

That success has set the tone for the year ahead. As we head into CanGift Winter 2026, we’re anticipating similarly strong momentum across both the Alberta and Toronto shows and are looking forward to building on those meaningful connections as well as establishing new ones.
