Every year, we search for the perfect gift—something thoughtful, meaningful, and guaranteed to make someone feel special. But what if the best gift wasn’t another item to wrap at all? What if the most impactful present you could give was one that spreads confidence, dignity, and worth far beyond the gift's recipient?

At TenThirtyFive Grey/Bruce, our mission has always been simple but powerful: to support vulnerable youth and women by providing confidence-building experiences through mentorship and fashion. And this holiday season (or any season), you can be part of that mission in the easiest, most heart-filled way.

Give a Gift Card… and Give So Much More

A TenThirtyFive Grey/Bruce gift card is more than a convenient present—it’s a ripple of kindness.

Yes, it’s the perfect mini-effort gift for anyone on your list: teachers, coworkers, neighbours, gift exchanges, secret Santas, or that one person who “doesn’t need anything.” But the real magic lies in what your purchase helps make possible.

When you buy a gift card from our Upscale Thrift Boutique, you directly fuel the programs that uplift local youth and women. That means:

Confidence boosted through styling sessions and mentorship
Dignity restored with access to beautiful clothing and supportive community connections
Worth affirmed through programs that remind our participants that they matter, deeply and completely

Your small gesture becomes a big impact—right here in our community.

Why It’s Truly the Perfect Gift

Thoughtful without the stress – You don’t have to guess someone’s size, colour preference, or style.
Supports a meaningful cause – Every dollar goes further than the gift itself.
Unique and purposeful – It’s a present that makes people feel good to give and receive.
Keeps on giving – Your purchase directly fuels programming that changes lives all year long.

The Gift That Stays With Them

Whether your loved one uses their gift card to find a new favourite outfit, a piece that sparks joy, or a special treasure from our boutique, the impact stretches far beyond a shopping trip. It becomes part of a bigger narrative—one where fashion is more than clothes; it’s connection, confidence, and community.
