Grown up Christmas Gifts

As you prepare this week to thank some important teachers, we thought this was a good time to share some amazing products for adults that we will be giving as gifts this Christmas. We know it is crunch time for most people as we are less than two weeks out from Christmas and sometimes you need one or two little items to add to your gift and I know any of these items would make a perfect add on. Hair products for someone to try or a pack of sweet georgia browns chocolate? Maybe a new tea to explore or a fresh bottle of bubble bath? And finally, maybe a new book to read over the holidays; one of these things is bound to bring a little bit of joy to someone this Christmas.

Purdys Chocolates always makes such a great gift for people young and old as it always tastes divine! As adults, we can’t get enough of the Sweet Georgia Browns in both milk and dark chocolate. For gifts, the Holiday Wishes Gift Basket makes a wonderful choice filled with a variety of delicious treats. In our kids stockings we love to slip the Holiday Milk and Dark Chocolate Bar Bag or the Milk Chocolate Joy bar. A fun tradition to add is enjoying a chocolate each day before Christmas and Purdys makes an adorable Elf village Advent Calendar that makes it both fun and delicious!

We saw this author pop up everywhere this summer! We have yet to read one of her titles but thought over the holidays, when everyone is relaxing, would be the perfect time to check her out. Reminders of Him, Regretting You and Layla are all titles by Colleen Hoover. You can find the full list of her titles at Thomas Allen but you can purchase her work at any local bookstore including Indigo, Amazon etc.

Our hairdresser first introduced us to AG Hair products and we have been using this brand ever since. AG hair offers products for every different hair type. The Re:Coil Curl Activator is amazing on Ezri’s hair as she has beautiful little curls. As moms, we both have thinner hair so we are excited to try the Thick Wash Volumizing Shampoo. During the holidays with so many festivities and functions the Spray Gel Thermal Setting Spray helps keep curls in place all night long and Simply Dry Shampoo is what every mom needs in their stoking. AG Hair recently launched new packaging and we love the clean, sleek new look.

There is something so cozy and festive about sipping tea out of a Christmas mug. The darker nights and colder evenings make a cup of tea that much more inviting. David’s Tea offers so many holiday favourites that make the perfect gift. If you aren’t sure what type of tea your guest loves, the Holiday Teas Sampler Box comes with 12 different types for one to enjoy. Candy Cane Crush is the perfect festive minty blend for the holidays and you can find it as loose leaf or in packs. Even simpler, the Candy Cane Crush Quick Tea Latte Mix is delicious and all you add is some hot water and whip it up to create a delicious tea latte.

Carina Organics - We have been using this brand for over a year and love it. Their daily face moisturizer is used regularly in our home and is the perfect every day product. Carina Organics create synthetic free products in their baby bubble bath and shampoo and body wash making it soft and gentle on not only us but our children’s skin as well.

Baker Book House - We love a suspenseful fiction and some of our favourite authors include Irene Hannon, Lisa Severe and Lynette Eason. Some of their newer titles are loving are The Last Way home, Life Flight and The Triple Threat Series. One of our favourite podcasts to listen to is That Sounds Like Fun by Annie F Downs and she recently wrote a book called Chase the Fun which is a great light read. We love checking out the Fiction section where they have Revell’s Picks for Each season. There you can find some new recommended titles to add to you collection.
