So I’ve put together my list of some of the items I’ve got on my shopping list for those special holiday gatherings.
-
A true holiday host knows that a party is only as good as the snacks! And with these adorable “Holiday Tidbit Sets” from Coles, not only will guests enjoy their treats, but they will beam with holiday spirit when they see the cute sayings like “Oh Christmas treats”, “He sees you when you’re snacking” and my personal favourite, “’Twas the bite before Christmas”.
-
Just add bubbly! The holidays are the perfect time to indulge in some champagne and with this sparkling cocktail kit from DAVIDsTea, you can celebrate the season with bubbly in style. These exclusive teas blend beautifully with bubbly or prosecco… it may just be our new favourite way to sip the sparkling stuff. Flavours include Aperol Spritz, Honey Prosecco, Rose All Day and Sparkling Sangria!
-
If you’re having the ladies (and some gents too) over for a holiday soiree, there’s nothing better than sprucing up your barware with seasonal glasses. I love this “Ready to Jingle” wine glass from Hallmark. Nothing says you’re ready for a holiday party more than a glass that says it for you!
-
For merrier meals, it's all about finding the right dinnerware and I LOVE this classic holiday five-piece bone china set from Hudson’s Bay. Think of your meal as the art, and the plates as the canvas. Pick up this set for a meal that looks as good as it tastes!
-
Do you have a holiday brunch in the works? Then this Breton Crepe Maker is a must-have for your brunching needs! With this crepe maker from Stokes, you can check off the taste buds on everyone’s list from cheesy & savory to fruity & sweet!
-
I don’t know about you but in my house… holiday gatherings always end in some good laughs and some healthy competition over board games. Sunrise Records has a great selection of classic games like Scrabble and Candyland and some new games (soon to be classics), like Telestrations and Nightmare Before Christmas Trivial Pursuit!

She loves the little things in life, like that perfect necklace that finishes an outfit, that subtle but powerful brow highlight or that little Kate Spade bow on the back of her jacket. When she’s not running around Willowbrook checking out the latest and greatest trends you can find Kaylesha at EVERY concert ever! Seriously, I don’t think this lady misses a show… from Jerry Seinfeld to Paul Simon and everything in between; if there’s a hot ticket in town, you’re sure to find it in Kaylesha’s Ted Baker purse!
