SonyaWe all have that one person who has proven to be the most challenging person to buy for. That person has everything and it’s ridiculous. But you still want to get that person something, right? No stress. Here are some ideas.
WHISPERING SPRINGS: a gift of experience is always a good idea. We’ve checked out the new “glamping” resort just an hour and a half outside of Toronto in the rolling hills of Shelter Valley in Northumberland County, and it’s a slice of heaven. Large oversized ready tents complete with King size beds and a deep soaker tub with full running water bathroom right inside the tent that’s surrounded by the woods and nearby pure spring water stream. Fresh baked breakfast gets delivered to you in the morning. Gift cards available now for next season.
TIFFANY & Co. EVERYDAY OBJECTS: We don’t have to wait for a special occasion to bring out the finest things in life. Tiffany’s has a line of everyday useful items to be used and a reminder that you’re worth it. Tiffany artisans have transformed utilitarian items into handcrafted works of art. This set of Bone China Cups is inspired by the paper coffee cups used in Tiffany & Co stores around the world.
APPLE WATCH SERIES 3: Ever since the Apple Watch was introduced into the market, I can personally tell you that it’s been a great device that has become a personal favourite. The latest Series 3 edition has great new features offering GPS and cellular capability so you don’t even need to be near your iPhone to use it anymore. Not only can you stream tunes straight from the Watch but you can also make calls, send texts, and check your emails. It will also send you alerts and notifications just like your phone. Bonus, it’s swim proof! Lots of style options.
CANADIAN CLUB 40 YEAR OLD: For that whisky connoisseur, this very special and very limited Canadian Club 40 Year Old Whisky was recently released at the LCBO. This exquisite whisky is oak aged and not blended. It is the oldest Canadian whisky to ever be launched. Only 7000 bottles were made and only available in Canada.
HANDLED CONCIERGE SERVICE: Not only is your friend the Queen of Busy Bees and has everything, but how organized she? Handled Concierge Service is like having a personal shopper who can help with stuff in life. One of their features is getting your wardrobe organized — they’ll sift through your closet and help refresh things by working with what you have and suggest new items to keep you current. Yes, they’ll even go shopping for you once they get to know your style, your needs and your budget. They’ll even do your gift shopping for you to save you time. Currently serving Toronto.
HELLOFRESH.CA: For the person who still enjoys cooking but has the constant dilemma of “what am I going to make for dinner?” Gift them a gift card for a week’s worth of dinner kits from HelloFresh. Recipes and measured out ingredients are delivered right to the door with no food waste.
KOBO AURA H20 E-READER: Reading helps us discover, learn and explore our world and our imaginations. We absolutely love this the Kobo Aura H2O eReader as it’s the most versatile for the person on the go. Booklovers will love the thoughtful features of this device that is waterproof — no worries at the beach, poolside or in the bathtub! And the ComfortLight PRO technology is amazing for adjusting to the most comfortable light ever at any time of day or night. By the way, the Scotiabank Giller Prize Winners have just been announced recently, you’ll want to check them out! 
CREATE THE NIGHTSKY.COM: Create a custom star map to commemorate a special occasion, birthday, and other significant milestones. You enter the dates, and have the ability to custom the look including a personal message. A stunning gift that will be a memorable keepsake to any home decor. 
MOXIE SHOWERHEAD WITH WIRELESS SPEAKER by Kohler: For that music lovin’ friend who can’t help but sing in the shower. The Moxie let’s you stream your favourite music right in the shower with you. The showerhead holds a portable speaker that pairs wirelessly with devices via Bluetooth technology to deliver high-quality audio while you’re in the shower. The water-resistant speaker also pops out for recharging. The showerhead generates a revitalizing spray of water for a great full-coverage shower too!
HP SPROCKET: For the person who loves to document their travel, food, or any other memories, this adorable little printer is a fun gift. Toss it in your handbag and print directly from your mobile device. This pocket-size printer instantly prints out photos (including a sticky backing that is great for journalling!). Keep your eyes out for the new HP Sprocket 2-in-1 that combines a pocket-sized photo printer with a built-in camera launching this month. SO CUTE!
