But if you’re anything like me, you too have a long list of people you are excited to buy (or make) gifts for! I rarely have trouble finding the perfect gift for my close family and friends.  It’s those little gifts that you give to people you work with or an acquaintance you see often but you’re not close enough with to buy a full on gift for, those are the gifts that really stump me. You want to get them a little something other than a card and chocolates…

Enter the Little Tin Card Co, the perfect replacement for the cards that you know will just end up in the trash along with all the gift wrapping and ribbons! This tin card holds the sweet message of a regular card but also has a special treat inside!  With four different varieties: tea, hot chocolate (dark and milk), cocktail, and micro greens, there really is something for everyone on your list! Tie a ribbon around it, as seen below, and take it as an easy host gift, maybe add a bottle of Bailey’s if you’re feeling really generous ;)… or simply throw a stamp on it and pop it in the mail- boom, done! SO easy and stinkin’ adorable, too!

All you do is fill out the name and address, add your message, and a stamp (200 gram will do) and pop it in the mail! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!

Perfect for the holidays or ANY occasion! I wouldn’t complain if the Sangria cocktail mix ended up in my mailbox randomly To check out all the different ‘cards’ watch the video below or head to their website here!

Merry (early) Christmas!!

Luckily, for my (and others) safety,  I was introduced to Jimmy Mac a few months ago and they’ve been taking care of me ever since.  Their glasses are trendy, comfortable, and affordable!  ALL glasses are $159 and ALL sunglasses are $95.  If you would like your sunglasses to be prescription, they’re also $159!  Want your lenses polarized? They do that, too! I know many of you reading this are teachers, these glasses are well under the budget for our insurance… heck you can likely get two pairs!

Best part? They’re local.   You can shop online (here) but if you’re like me and you want to try them on you can head down to their Albert street location.

Here are a few of my favourites:

The Mavis

The Hanlee

The Florence

The Bella

Let me formally introduce you to a new local company I have been falling in love with over the past few months: My girlfriend’s Closet! An online boutique based out of Calgary with tonnes of cute, AFORDABLE, and trendy pieces- ya’ll know this is right up my alley! From casual tee’s/sweaters that have the cutest sayings on them, to dresses that will have you ready to kick up your heels at Stampede, they’re sure to have something for every occasion!   They offer expedited shipping anywhere in Canada for $12… I mean is there anything better than shopping from bed with a coffee in hand?!

If you happen to be one of those people who isn’t into ordering online, no worries!  Rumour has it they’re going to be popping up in Regina Beach & Regina! Make sure you’re following both of us on Instagram so you don’t miss the info on these! You can follow us here & here!

HOW freaking cute is this top?! I seriously couldn’t love it anymore!! I have been wearing it non stop since it arrived on my doorstep. It can be worn off the shoulder if you prefer, or up as shown here. I personally prefer it to be worn up that way I can get away with wearing it to work. Wouldn’t this be just perfect for a country festival?! Eeek… ’tis the season!
Did I mention this top is only $38 and comes in light blue as well?! Shop this top here!

I just love discovering new local businesses it makes me feel good about my shopping addiction, haha!
