Stocking Stuffers For Her
Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Gloss Duos – $9.99 each @ Wal-Mart, London Drugs, Marks, Jean Coutu, etc.
Essential moisturizers to keep your chapped lips in check this winter? Check. A kiss of colour for fuss-free application on-the-go? Check. A way-cute two-pack for under $10? Check. This sweeter-than-sweet gift set packs a lot of punch for a little price, and suits just about any lady’s lifestyle and beauty routine.
Thumb-Lite – $2.95 @ Lee Valley
No more fiddling around in the dark to get into your car or your home. These stick-on LED lights can attach to just about any surface (including her cavernous purse), and pack a seriously bright punch by simply pressing your finger onto the pad. As you may already know, LED lights also have insanely long lifetimes – meaning this is one idea that won’t burn out quick. A smart stuffer that has both a practical and a safety use.
Mercy Calling Cards – $12 @ TENOVERSIX
The next time you’re in a lovers quarrel, she can leave one of these out for you to wrap up the spat. Cause you know…sometimes words simply aren’t enough, or you just want to stop shouting, or you want to keep from crying. She’ll get it. She’ll laugh. She might try to paper cut one on your finger if things get really ugly. But she’ll get it.
Keysocks – $9.95 a pair
If your gal still wants to strut her stuff in the snow (or at least, chillier weather) she can do so with style and warmth thanks to these ingenious wardrobe savers. Simply tuck under your favourite jeans or leggings to keep your legs and toes snuggly warm, while exposing the top of your foot for a chic, four-season style.
Garbo Limited Edition Mood Ring – $10 @ The Bay
If you’re wondering if this is a mood ring like the ones you grew up with – the kind that fluctuate based on your body temperature and subsequent mental state – then you’d be right. The twist is the oversized cocktail design, and the fact 30% of profits will go to Partners For Mental Health on behalf of The Bay.
Feminist Ryan Gosling Book – $11.36 @ Indigo.ca
Have you checked out the hilarious blog that combines Canada’s (and the world’s) sweetheart movie stud + ridiculous ‘Hey girl’ feminist theory statements aka Feminist Ryan Gosling? If yes, or if your gal is simply a Ryan Gosling fan (because c’mon, who isn’t?), she’ll get a kick out of this book that combines some oh-so-sexy pics of Gosling along with oh-so-tender-and-educated imagined musings on feminist theory. A cute and cheeky pick.
Love Letter Kit – $20 @ Atomic Garden
Let me spell this out for you: the KIT is not the gift. The KIT (consisting of parchment, twine, a pencil, and a glass stopper bottle) is what YOU use to write your favourite lady a love letter, and tuck it into her stocking for a present you can’t put a price on. Just because it isn’t a holiday of hearts and flowers, doesn’t mean you still can’t be uber romantic!
Shea Butter Up Duo – $12 @ The Body Shop
Touchably smooth skin and kissably soft lips all housed in a cute plastic ornament? Sounds like a winning winter-appropriate gift to me. Of course, it comes from The Body Shop, making it uber accessible nationwide and also fabulously priced (plus made with a conscience!)
TEA.tanic – $16
This year was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. A grim memorial to be sure, but it did birth the creation of this clever device, which is designed to perch on the edge of your teacup and squeeze out every last bit of flavour from your tea bag. A welcome treat for the cold winter months ahead.
Jonathan Adler Honeycomb Sticky Note Set – $10 @ Lifeguard Press
I love Jonathan Adler’s preppy pretty designs – in fact I actually have a notepad set that’s nearly identical to this one sitting on my desk at work. This handy little notepad caddy contains stickies for you to make to-do lists, jot down ideas, request a chat session with someone, and prioritize your day-to-days. Smart and oh-so-stylish!
