Sticks & Doodles is a family-run Saskatchewan workshop whose artists and makers have handcrafted over 100,000 pieces. From smooth, sanded wood to carefully painted finishes and tiny details assembled by hand, their care shows in the gift you give.
“That used to fill the tank.”
The total keeps climbing, the tank still isn’t full, and you’re mentally combining every errand for the week. If you’re driving across town, you’re making that trip count.
This layered wood ornament features a fuel gauge, a red bow and green foliage above “The year we couldn’t afford gas” and the year 2026. Handcrafted in our Saskatchewan shop.
A year to remember, even if you’d rather forget the receipts.

The Sticks & Doodles Story
It all started in a basement.
In 2019, we started in a Regina basement with a couple of tools, a lot of grit, and a passion for making people smile. Five years later, with the support of our incredible team, community, and customers, we’ve grown from that tiny basement to a flagship studio and store in East Regina, Saskatchewan. While much has changed, our heart remains the same—celebrating stories, connections, and the moments that make life special. Thank you for supporting our dream. – Kyle & Danelle, Co-Founders
