Home, Furniture & Kitchen

Not sure what to give the world traveller on your list this Christmas? Handpicked to inspire you, I’ve created a list of hot gift ideas that help create the perfect travel experience. So whether you’re shopping for a young backpacker or business jetsetter, you’ll be sure to find something for every type of traveller.

Out of all of the holiday traditions at my house, there’s one I look most forward to during the holidays. Making a Yule Log is fun, delicious, and can be really challenging if you’ve never done it before, but once you’ve tried one you’ll want to make one every year.

Even though your newborn baby is asleep, it can still be a stressful time for parents. After all, there is still risk of things like SIDS or suffocation. Fortunately, Monbaby is here to help. It clips to any piece of your sleeping baby’s clothes and helps look after the baby’s sleeping activity, including breathing, rolling over and more. Come take a look and see if this is what you may need for your (or your family’s) new arrival.

Tis the season for holiday shopping, not only for yourself but for your friends and family. What do get the person who has everything? Something for the kitchen, perhaps?  Everyone loves to eat—whether they love to cook or not, the kitchen is a place to get their meals.  Not to worry, we have gift ideas for that person who only orders in.   

We’ve been talking a lot about the best gifts of 2015, and sometimes the best gift you can give someone is a spruce up for their house. With busy day to day lives, fitting in work, kids and extra curricular activities is enought to think about without worrying about if your house is up to date with the current trends.   Give the gift of a living room face lift to someone you love, trust me they will love you for it.  

Holiday shopping hasn’t really begun until the deals are revealed for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Here are all the details that you will need to know to ensure that you have a great shopping experience at Best Buy during this busy season.

This week on Shelly’s Friday Favourites: a guest post! I’m Erin, and most of my articles are about home theatre and televisions, but today Shelly asked me to write about an event I participate in each year: a Cookie Exchange. 

Have you ever wondered what 0.08% BAC feels like? The BACtrack Go Keychain is a small, easy-to-use breathalyser that lets you get an idea of someone’s blood alcohol concentration before you or someone you love gets behind the wheel. To test it I took my dad on a beer tour of Vancouver. To see how that turned out and how we liked to the breathalyzer, click below to read my in depth review.

The possiiblities are endless for great gifts to grab for a newborn baby, or toddler up to the age of 2. From toys, to clothing, practical items for mom and dad, and other hot tech, here are some favourites.

There are only 40 baking days until Christmas. Are you ready? Nope, neither am I, but you’ll be one step closer if you get baking some holiday bread this week.
