You These Days
I know, I know, you’re too busy Christmas
shopping to read about Christmas shopping. But hold up – following are some
terrific ideas for gifts that are stylish, healthy, ecologically sound and
all-Canadian and bound to please everyone from hipsters to soccer moms and all
age groups.
Consonant Skincare
Brick and mortar shops are traditional, but Etsy
provides a massive marketplace of huge variety of products online. But the thing about their products is that
they are made by passionate individuals who wish to bypass the expense and
trouble of literally “setting up shop” in the real world to offer stuff up at
lower prices, with greater creativity and variety all in one place. The
catalogue of Holiday products is impressive, a culmination of genius ideas from
artists and innovators, curated for you. Another great plus is that Etsy offers
high style and innovative products to those who live away from design centres
like Toronto and Vancouver. You too can
own nice things and au courante things even if you live in the frozen
tundra. and you can also sell your wonderful
things there as well, as long as you made them and develop your own brand. Now
there’s a tempting idea!

Cool stationery and papers are the passion of
Kleinberg, Ontario-based moms Alison and Samantha, so they created Party
Stakes and pretty in ink, twinned sources for decorative tableware,
stationary, décor and cards and all the statement notes you’ll ever need. What
makes paper goods festive?
Sparkles. And boy do they have
sparkles. You can place a party stake, a
decorative 3-d “flag” in a cake, a flower arrangement or on a wall that can
shout or whisper a name, a birthday, a motto, an event and an expression of
love. pretty in ink is designed to bring
out our inner kindergartner with rubber stamps and fancy inks for style
conscious letter writers and gift makers. Use them for envelope return
addresses, a book mark or insignia, wrappings, calling cards, business cards,
and whatever you darn well want to stamp.
They make special stationery that is stampable in various collections
and colours.

Canadian designer Jenny Bird says her calling to jewelry making was too “poignant” to ignore. And this Ontario farm girl turned Manhattanite has thrown her creativity into Jenny Bird creating wonderfully dynamic and interesting contemporary jewelry, the likes of which I haven’t seen before. From three finger rings and palm rings/hand pieces to primitive chains and medallions, her line is eye popping. It is simply and thoroughly different and manages to combine new techniques and details with gorgeous items that make you think of Vikings, the early Egyptians and Romans, Aztecs and even 80’s punk. Cleopatra would have worn Jenny Bird. The line is carried internationally in 600 stores and of course Hollywood has caught on, as celebs take to her very cool gear. It has to be seen to be appreciated, here www.jenny-bird.com

with ingredients carefully selected to boost balance, digestion, self-esteem,
to purify the blood, ease chronic stress and benefit the lungs, among other
good stuff. Five scents – earth, water, fire, wood and metal, are designed to

over-the-top. Sophistication and ease of use are key. Evoke the Elements uses
ingredients like lime, cedar wood, roses, cloves, bergamot, ginger, eucalyptus

Salonière by Jason Lee
If you shop the One-for-You-and-One-for-Me

give yourself, a bit of a hairstyle, colour, treatment, whatever, as a little
thank you to you. And it’ll get you in the holiday spirit. Let’s face it;
