November is here, which means I can start getting ready for the holiday season!! Yes, it’s just under two months away (55 sleeps to be exact…I know because have the “Sleeps till Christmas” App 😉 but since it’s my favourite time of year, I want to savor it as long as possible!
This season I’ve decided to get my Holiday shopping done asap so I can enjoy the little things, like sitting by the Christmas tree, listening to Silent Night, and drinking hot chocolate by the fire. These little moments can’t be enjoyed if we’re rushing around getting last minute presents, can they?
To help make our gift buying easy, I’m going to share some fabulous Holiday Collections I had the pleasure of previewing a while back; starting with the holiday press day cocktail party put on by Jacklyn Denise Communications.
To start you off on the right foot, here are some gift ideas for the Holidays:
1) Handbags by Jessica Jensen – Made from fine Italian Leather and French Lining, she has designed a bag for everyone and every occasion. I’m MAJORLY coveting the multi-coloured envelope clutch pictured above. Christmas Wish List:1 Victoria: 0
2. Merino Wool Dryer Balls by Forever New – You may think you don’t need these, but once you have them you’ll be wondering what you ever did without them! The dryer balls reduce wrinkles and leave clothes soft; minimize drying time (thus saving energy!), and are great for sensitive skin and cloth diapers because they leave no residues. They’re a safe and gentle alternative to fabric softeners and chemical dryer sheets.
3. Swim | Fitness | Hosiery Wear Wash by Forever New – Don’t you hate it when you buy something and ruin it in the wash? I can’t stress enough how important it is to take good care of your clothing. Forever New keeps everything looking new longer…bonus!! The Swim wear wash neutralizes chlorine while preserving colour and elasticity; the yoga & fitness wear wash maintains fabric breath-ability and freshness; and the hosiery wear wash softens and relaxes fibres to resist runs.
4. Holiday Party Dresses by twobirds – One Dress, 15 ways to wear it! REALLY? Yes, REALLY! Friends, this is a “one for you, one for me” kind of holiday gift 😉 Whatever the occasion, these dress by twobirds will look smashing. The hardest decision you’ll have to make? Choosing between all the fabulous colour options!
5. Dry Cider by Pommies – Hot Apple Cider is a holiday favourite, but just so you don’t get too sick of it, try alternating between that and a cool Pommies dry cider; made from 100% Ontario heritage apples (no additives friends!!). ‘Tis the season, after all! Also, if you or the person you’re buying the gift for loves cooking and/or baking, add in some Pommies Dry Cider, or have one on the side. The Pommies website has some delicious recipes and pairing options!
6. Wine Rack by Millesime – Do you know anyone who loves wine? If so, then this is a gift that you should not pass up! Those who love wine, love to display their bottles, and they will not be disappointed with a Millesime wine rack! It’s sleek, modern and elegant lines make it home decor worthy!
7. Handcrafted Jewellery & Cufflinks by Studio 1098 – When it comes to jewellery shopping you don’t need to worry about fit (unless it’s a non-adjustable ring), which makes it the perfect gift choice! All pieces from Studio 1098 are designed by the goldsmiths and gemologists in the studio – how special is that?! Can we take a minute to ogle over those amazing Sterling Silver Penny Cufflinks!?! With pennies now out of circulation, these cufflinks are definitely a key collectors item!
8. Everything Cashmere from The Cashmere Shop – The Cashmere Shop is a luxury play land, with the softest most stylish pieces for the cooler season! You’ll find everything for the women, men and children in your life,; including clothing, accessories and home decor! I was tempted to “borrow” these cashmere pieces right off the mannequin…that’s how comfortable they looked (p.s. the holiday preview was in July, so that’s saying a lot!!).
Now that I’ve given you eight different holiday gift options, get your shop on! Last minute gifting is not acceptable now because time is on your side this year!
