Mad for Mod

Posted by Canadian Gift Guide on November 27, 2013 · 85 Comments

Not only is ModCloth one of my personal favourite shopping destinations, it also happens to be a pretty nifty place to go gift shopping as well. Case in point? While picking up a couple of items for myself the other day, I took a quick spin through their gift guide and immediately found a few awesome ideas for some folks on my list. Today, I’m pleased to do the same for you, by picking out some of my fave ideas from their rather expansive collection, and suggesting what they might be perfect for.

As a bonus, if you’ve yet to create a ModCloth account, you can score $15 off your first purchase of $50 or more when you follow this link to set up your account. Plus for a limited time, they’re offering free international shipping on orders of over $150! Plus plus plus, their Beyond Black Friday sale is kicking off today with hundreds of new items available at 50% off. Psyched? And with that…

For The Man Cave: Jason’s Cue the Lights Candleholder – $79.99
Who says men can’t dig candles? This pool-inspired set of tea light holders is a funky accoutrement to any guy’s games’ room / office / man cave, etc. Make sure to pair it with a pack of not-too-feminine candles!

For A Timeless Wardrobe Update: Full Course Load Bag – $84.99
The perfect size to stash all of your essentials, the perfect colour to go with anything in your wardrobe, and the perfect style that’s somehow both modern and timeless – all in one perfect bag. Comes in six sensational shades.

For Trimming The Tree: Sockin’ Around The Tree Ornament – $7.99
I’m pretty sure every year, the sock monkey finds a way to be featured on this blog around the holidays. This adorable ornament features this ubiquitous holiday toy dressed up in his warmest winter gear, for a cute stocking stuffer or Secret Santa pick.

For The Cheeriest Chef: Oopsy Tasty Spatula – $11.99 each
If they love to cook, they’ll love this quirky and colourful spatula designed to look like a yummy ice pop. Made from silicon and wood, this sturdy gadget is available in three zippy shades for a perfect stocking stuffer surprise.

For The Sartorialist Sir: Cute As A Shutterbug Tee – $27.99
Although ModCloth is most commonly known a women’s shopping destination, they do carry a line-up of unisex and guy-specific clothing, like this fun shutterbug tee. A great pick to accompany a new lens or camera bag.

For The Little Ones’ Guiding Light: Watt Dreams May Come Night Light $24.99
I love this funky night light because it reminds me of my childhood when these electromagnetic lights were all the rage. Touch it and and watch the light link up with your fingertips, plus, use it to guide your way for a midnight bathroom break.

For Her Greatest Gatsby Dreams: Razzle Dazzling Earrings – $16.99
ModCloth’s whole thing is vintage-inspired (but never dated) clothing & accessories – with a healthy helping of quirky geek chic. They’ve got quite the collection of 20s pieces at the moment, including a fun range of costume jewelry like these hanging gems.

For The New Homeowners: Round Here Photo Frame in White – $39.99
If you’re looking for a new way to display photos of your best friends, precious pet, or memorable event, this uniquely-shaped frame pulls double duty as a piece of art and a creative photo collage creator. Also available in black.

For The Every Woman: Charter School Cardigans – $34.99 each
When in doubt, go with a cardigan. This wardrobe (and ModCloth) staple comes in over two dozen colours and patterns, and layers wonderfully with your favourite winter party dress or office outfit. Stock up & watch her smile.

Truth be told this was one of the tougher posts to write this holiday season. Although ModCloth has very handily arranged their gift guide to make it easy for you to peruse, the simple fact is they’ve got thousands upon thousands of amazing products for kids, adults, girls, guys, nerds, retro lovers, fashionistas, parents, and *everything* in between – plus they’re adding new goodies every. single. day. Plus be on the lookout for their amazing Beyond Black Friday sale that kicks off today as well, with dozens of new items all at 50% off.
