Last-Minute Gift List

So . . . Christmas is just over a week away, and if you’re anything like me, you haven’t started shopping yet. (No shame. You’re BUSY!) But I’ve done the brainstorming on the coolest last-minute gifts around Bower Place so you don’t have to.

Pyjamas are my favourite gift, especially those cozy flannel ones. Can you ever really have too many? To go with the pyjamas . . . I am loving this silk headband from QE Home, which promotes silky, soft hair. This cute Three Sisters necklace is definitely on my wish list (hint hint). One of the most iconic mountain ranges in Alberta can be theirs to wear.

These gifts are perfect for the guy who has it all. Because you can never smell too good, be too comfy, or look too cool.

Honourable mention: You can record your voice with this Cry-Activated Soother, and it will automatically respond to cries – technology is neat! Plus, make bath time fun with this colourful soap/shampoo/bubble bath bar. Lush has a huge range of colourful and fun bath products. These Reindeer jammies from The Children’s Place come in toddler, adult, and baby sizing so the WHOLE fam can match.  Also, wishing I was a kid again because this Barbie van is SO cool – perfect for your little explorer/adventurer. As a self-proclaimed plant nerd, I definitely want one of these Moving Plant Terrariums for myself. Kids can sprout plants within the container (just add water) and watch them bloom. The plants will move when touched!

Your four-legged hiking buddy can stay hydrated (and stylish) with these gifts. As part of the Dog Starter-Kit below, these dog water bottles are so cool.  Plus, I’m loving these pet organizers for all their toys (even if they get chewed up as soon as you bring them home).

Hosts . . . I commend you. Cooking and cleaning (even for one!) is tough enough, but to do it on a larger scale (i.e., for your entire family)? You have superpowers. And for that, you deserve ALL the Hickory Farms, Pearson’s Berry Farm, and Sunterra Market goodies.

Bring these to show your appreciation to your host, and you’ll be the favourite guest. Psssst! Did you know you can make your OWN gift basket in-market at Sunterra Market?!

These stocking stuffers are meant to bring out on Christmas morning and enjoy right away (chocolate for breakfast is totally cool on Christmas, right?!). We all know someone who’s obsessed with Friends. Or maybe they prefer The Office? Well, Spencer’s has tons of mugs for that, too (cue iconic, “World’s Best Boss” mug). Just add Bailey’s and coffee – or this Candy Cane Lane Tea from T. Kettle. Christmas Vacation is the best Christmas movie in my opinion, and a classic you’ll want to watch on Christmas Day. Lastly, remember all the Christmas fun you had for years to come with this mini Instant Camera – it comes in blue, gray, white, and purple, too!
