+1 A very good idea. That way they have the option of buying online or at the store.

False. Quite a few people have an almost irrational antipathy to Tim Hortons. This could backfire.

amazon.com is better pricing, even with shipping/duty factored in. When i bought like 30 blu-rays in one shot last year, it would have cost double from teh canadian site. blu-rays that were 10-12 on the .com site with $25 on the canadian site.

I would say chapters as well. Maybe Starbucks instead of Tims?

I was just joking about the Tim's gift certificates. As a US citizen whose Mom hails from Labrador, I always grab Tim's in Deer Lake before I head up to Labrador.

Gap would always be good, too.

should post your budget per employee. hockey tickets can be pricey.

for small amounts, tim horton's (coffee, donuts) gift cards are always fine, or even loblaws (supermarket). that would be the practical suggestion.

the bay (a dept store) would also be an okay idea. chapters is also okay.

You could also try Sport Chek. www.sportchek.ca

It's Canada's equivalent to Dick's Sporting Goods.

Hah, coming from a yank this could be perceived as borderline racist. If Canadian were a race.

Said Yank has family roots in Labrador, so I guess I am making this joke against myself, too.

Nope, my Mom grew up in a town up there, and Grandparents still live there. Beautiful area, if not desolate.
