For your mom, sis or BFF, we’ve got a gift for every woman in your life. Herewith, our Top 5 gifts (from save to splurge) for the gals.
Fill her stocking to the brim with delectably scented body polish from the newly launched Joe Fresh Bath line ($5 each). Choose from lemon, pomegranate, grapefruit or nectarine or, better yet, throw in all four. At Real Canadian Superstores, www.superstore.ca
If Christmas is about feeling like a kid, Julie Morstad’s fairytale illustrations take us back to the whimsies of childhood all year long. Choose from a selection of archival 8x10 or 11X14 prints (from $60) for the art lover in your life. At www.juliemorstad.com
A modern version of the classic friendship bracelet, the Shashi bracelets (from $70) combine colourful strings with sparkling stones for a gift your bestie will never take off. At Shopbop.com
Channel your inner Parisian with a nautical-inspired top, because something striped never goes out of style. This long, lightweight knit striped sweater ($85) from American Apparel is perfect for layering and a chic addition to any wardrobe. At www.americanapparel.net
The “It Bag” may be out but an oversized clutch is always a sophisticated alternative for carrying essentials day or night. A favourite among celebs this soft, buttery Onna Ehrlich clutch (from $225) has plenty of pockets and an optional wrist strap. At Mealan, 1518 Fourth St. SW, Calgary, 403-457-4020, www.mealan.com
