The Gift That Keeps on Giving This Holiday Season

Did Christmas just come early?! Kidding, but as many of you know, I love getting ready for the holiday season early, and part of this is planning out gifts and experiences for all my loved ones. Here, I have compiled some of my favourite gifts for that special someone in your life, and the best part is that these ones keep on giving!

Health is #1

Let’s be honest, health should come first above everything, because what can we do when we’re not healthy? In the Calgary community, we have the incredible team at Coalition Performance Care to take care of us, no matter what our activity or routine looks like. You can get someone’s New Year off to the right start by gifting multiple physio, chiro, etc. sessions or get them some cool CPC merch. You can call in to the clinic to coordinate!

She’s Becky with the Good Hair

Well, in this case, it’s Beverly Robertson. There’s truly something special about indulging in some pampering, and what better way to celebrate someone than with a trip to the salon. The Beverly team can do a mean blowout (in addition to amazing colour, extensions and more). Any service or product from The Beverly is a guaranteed winner.

Give the Gift of Great Skin

I have been going to Kyla at Illuminate Skin Therapies for a long time now, and I truly don’t think I can go anywhere else. With their amazing expertise, an insights-driven approach and incredible, high-quality products, Illuminate provides skincare clients with the tools and resources they need to achieve healthy, better looking (and feeling) skin. You can book a treatment, snag a gift card or purchase a product for someone.

All Bubbles, No Troubles

For the family member or friend who loves all bubbles (prosecco, champagne, etc.), get a Champagne Friday membership ready for them – annual for 24/7 access to the good stuff and quarterly for an approachable $75. Did I mention you get access to great merch, events and more? It’s a no brainer for any wine lover, especially the effervescent ones!

An Oracle Deck for the Future

Just in time for the holidays, Vancouver-based artist Zoe Pawlak created a BEAUTIFUL oracle deck that features her own unique vessels and muses. This is the perfect gift for those who are all about introspection and self-awareness, eager to take the next step into self-discovery. They can be used for years to come or be displayed around their favourite parts of their home. Each illustration is truly a work of art.

Eye-Catching Paper Products

Receiving a beautiful paper suite, notebook, planner or agenda is such a lovely thing to welcome as the year draws to a close and a new one begins. Wrinkle and Crease is one of my favourite local paper product businesses, and they’ve helped me design my personal thank you cards! I love Kayley and her elegant designs, and I just know that anyone else will too.

Happy Holidays, my friends, and I hope that these options provide some great ideas for gifting this season. I have more holiday content to come, but until then, check out my list of anticipated reads from last year.
