It’s that time of year again!! Just like last year, we have come up with a few of our favourite things we either personally love and recommend to give to someone special this holiday season, or things that are on our wish list and would love to see under the tree! We have included everything from home to fashion, beauty and wellness. First up, Sarah’s Favourite Things!

Sarah’s Favourites

Scented candles are always a great gift idea, and this Spiced Vanilla & Cashmere soy candle from Indigo not only smells great, it goes with a variety of decor styles
Fossil bags are hands down my absolute favourite, and this mini backpack is on my wish list because I love that it converts from handbag to crossbody bag to a handsfree backpack. And the warm caramel brown leather is the perfect colour.
I’m a sucker for all things astrology and gold, so this Gold Zodiac necklace makes a great personalized gift for all the astrology lovers on your list!
These round metal Ray Bans are on my list and would love to add them to my collection! wink wink
These 327 sneakers from new balance are my new faves. They not only look great dressed up or down, they are so comfortable I can wear them all day walking around at trade shows paired with leather pants and a blazer, or shopping in the mall with black leggings and an oversized sweater.
Speaking of sweaters, give me all the comfy oversized turtleneck sweaters this year! I love this one from H&M…its so cozy and is the perfect neutral. Can be dressed up or down for work or weekend wear.
For the home enthusiast in your life that also has a house full of kids or pets, Ruggable rugs are the best. They are stylish, affordable, and MACHINE WASHABLE! They make the perfect rug to keep in your mudroom, front door or even under your dining room table. The Kamran hazel is one of my favourite colour and pattern combo right now and can be seen in our Project Family Ties.
Wood cutting boards also make a great gift and are a staple in my kitchen. Not only are they functional, but they are decorative as well and make a great serving platter for Charcuterie boards!
IMO, you can never have enough throw pillows. They are an inexpensive way to instantly transform your space. Etsy is one of my go-to sources for custom throw pillow covers that are both beautiful and affordable, and I always gravitate towards neutral stripes and solids for great staple pieces.
Ilia Beauty is my absolute favourite clean make-up line and I rave about it all the time!. I’ve been wearing their mascara for a few years now and its nourishing formula has seriously transformed my lashes. The are soft, healthy and most importantly the mascara doesn’t flake or end up on the top of my lids at the end of the day (a common problem for my fellow oily skin friends!) Their lipstick is my favourite go-to as well. The matte formula is soft, moisturizing and long wearing, plus its clean gluten free and cruelty-free formula ensures you can feel confident you are making a safe choice.
I love winter white staples and I’ve been eyeing this cozy Faux Fur Coat from H&M!

Ashlyn’s Favourites

On my favourites list, I have included things I have and things that are on my Christmas list!

I love basics when it comes to clothing. They are easy to create an outfit with and they go with everything. The long sleeves are great comfy pieces, that are perfect for any day. I also chose black loafers as something I want for Christmas.
Black shoes are a staple in anyone’s wardrobe. You can never go wrong with a pair of black shoes.
UGGS are back in style, but in my opinion, they never left. I love UGGS as both slippers and shoes, and they are the perfect gift for someone.
Baseballs caps are the perfect accessory. Dress is up or down, wear them on bad hair days, and even wear them on a run.
I have tested out many yoga mats over the years, and it’s safe to say I have found a favourite. Lululemon yoga mats are long enough and come in various thickness’ so you can’t feel the floor from underneath you! Not to mention, there are some super cute colours and prints!
When it comes to you and your home, Im sure we can all agree that scent matters. We all want to smell good and have our guests walking into a good smelling hope. On my favourites list, I have included both a perfume and candle that I would love to be gifted for this holiday season.
For those who know me, I have an obsession with gold earrings. I have so many different shapes, sizes and styles. Gold earrings can get very expensive, especially when you want to buy ones that don’t tarnish. If you are looking for an affordable pair of classy gold earrings, amazon is this place to shop. Amazon is also a great place to find affordable fashion forward sunglasses.
H&M doesn’t just have clothes. Their home selection is so classy and has so many great neurtals for decor and bedding. I have been wanting a linen duvet cover for a long time now, but everywhere I look, I don’t find anything that I love and that is worth spending the money on. I found the perfect linen duvet cover from H&M, and they have many different colour options to choose from.
