We are getting down to the wire with Christmas quickly approaching. It’s hard to believe this time of year is already here! Shopping for gifts can not only be busy and stressful, but also quite expensive. Here are some of our favourite affordable last minute presents!

Make-up
Grabbing a cute lipstick or palette for someone can be affordable, and is always appreciated. MAC Cosmetics offers lipsticks at great prices, as well as many other make-up items. There are also plenty of different colours to choose from, depending on if the person is more bold, or likes things more natural. There’s no better way to make someone feel special during the holidays than providing them with a touch of glam!
Water bottles
We love a cute water bottle & without a doubt, S’well bottles are extremely popular and make fabulous gifts. There are a few different sizes to choose from depending on how much you would like to spend. You have probably heard many people rave about S’well bottles, since they are convenient and also come in tons of different cute colours and patterns. You can find these on Well.ca.
Scarves
What better way to help your friends and family stay warm this winter than with some cute winter accessories? Scarves are perfect for males and females, and can be found in many different patterns, textures, fabrics and colours. They are also usually priced pretty well, and can even be found on sale right now at many stores. We love tge abundance of different scarves to choose from at the GAP.

Chapters-Indigo is the place to go for all your mugs, and have a large variety to choose from.

If all else fails, chocolate is a great last resort. Whether you purchase beautiful gift sets of chocolate, or put together your own, edible gifts are always appreciated. Purdy’s Chocolatier has so many types of chocolate to choose from (& all SO delicious). This can also be a great addition to any gift as just something extra sweet.

If you know someone who loves to cook or bake, or even just loves food, a cookbook is an affordable, lovely gift. There are so many types of books to choose from, including indulgent recipes, plant based, healthy, sweets, and everything in between. Chapters-Indigo will have whatever type of cookbook you are looking for. We’d suggest finding a cookbook from your favourite restaurant or chef! You can always pair a great cookbook with a fun kitchen utensil or beautiful tabletop
