The Small Social’s Holiday Gift List
Have you started your holiday shopping? With festivities kicking off and the holiday season right around the corner, you might be thinking about what to get for all the special people in your life. Sometimes picking out the perfect holiday gift is a no-brainer. But occasionally, we all need a little help.
Keep reading to find out what’s on the SOCO teams’ wishlist this year for ideas and inspo.
For the Ones Who Need Self Care + Relaxation
If you know someone who deserves some rest and relaxation, take a note from Ashley and Lara and get them a gift card to a spa. Ashley LOVES Ste. Annes Spa in Grafton. They offer day and overnight packages with credits for services. Their restaurant also serves some amazing food. Lara recommends a day at Thermea Spa, one of the newest spa facilities in Ontario. With a variety of hot and cold pools, saunas and treatments, you can treat your loved ones to a day or evening of total rejuvenation.
Maybe you have someone in your life who loves to have a quiet night in and self care at home. Take some inspo from Nicole’s holiday wishlist and give them some
24k gold eye masks to help them relax after a long day. If you’re shopping for someone like Madi who likes to unwind and take a break from the screen, check out this
Dolly Parton Diamond Rhinestone puzzle that’s perfect for puzzle lovers and country music enthusiasts alike.
For The Ones Who Live in Comfort
On every person’s holiday shopping list is someone who lives for being comfortable 24/7. For the person who loves being comfy and cozy, check out Lara and Victoria’s suggestions. One of Lara’s cold weather favourites is her heated blanket, perfect for being curled up with a good book and a warm drink. Vic loves keeping her feet nice and toasty in her UGG Classic Mini II Boots, which are perfect for the cool outdoor weather, or warming up after a frosty walk with the dog.
For The Ones Who Love Style
Brooklyn, Madi and Cat have all the recommendations for that person in your life who always seems to look good and be on trend. This year, we’re seeing a lot of gold jewelry. And we have to say, we’re kind of obsessed. Brooklyn recommends this perfect Bracelet Bundle from Melanie Auld, while Cat is living for these Beaded Huggie Hoops from Mejuri. Either item would be a great gift for the person who is always perfectly accessorized.
If you’re shopping for someone whose hair is always a
10/10, Cat recommends the
Shark FlexStyle Multi-Styler which she says works just as well (or maybe even better) than the Dyson. For the perfect stocking stuffer, check out Madi’s new favourite
Free People Scrunchie, which screams Barbie core, but is also available in
14 other colours. Get them one, or a few. You can’t go wrong with a durable, stylish scrunchie.
On Jules’ holiday gift list are the
I-SEA Sunglasses. Not only do these sunglasses come in countless cute designs, but they are also high-quality and designed to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. These are perfect for any situation where you’ll be catching some sun - even just a quick winter walk.
For The Ones Who Like to Travel
We all know someone who is always jetting off somewhere or taking a quick weekend road trip. For the adventurer in your life, consider gifting them Vic’s recommendation: The Weekender by Beis. The bag is designed to make packing easy and quick with its spacious opening and solid bottom compartment. Plus, the zipper on the back becomes a sleeve that slides easily over the handle of your luggage, making for an easy airport experience.
Help your loved one capture unique memories on their travels, or even on their next night out with Brooklyn’s new favourite camera, the
Reloader in Oatmeal. This camera gives photos a vintage look without the waste of a disposable camera. Simply reload it with
35mm film when it runs out and capture countless moments in a fun and unique way.
For The Ones Who Are Always at Their Desk
Is there someone in your life who lives at their desk? Consider circling back to the section on self care and relaxation. But to make their days easier and help them stay on track, Jules recommends the
Dailee Planner. Unlike most planners, the Dailee has a page for every day of the week and helps to keep track of to-do lists, workouts, meal plans and so much more. It’s the dream planner for your type-A friend. And, encourage your desk warrior to stay hydrated while they’re zoned in on work with Nicole’s favourite
Simply Modern Tumbler. This cup keeps drinks both hot and cold. It also comes with two lids, so whether your gift recipient is a straw person, or they prefer a flip lid, they can choose to use their cup however they like.
For The Ones Who Have Everything
Do you have someone on your list who feels completely impossible to buy for? They don’t really need “things”, but you still want to get them something that they’ll appreciate. Ashley and Madi have some ideas for you.
If that impossible person to buy for is a coffee enthusiast, Madi recommends the Nespresso Pixie Aeroccino Bundle. The SOCO team swears by a good cup of Nespresso coffee and the bundle comes with our favourite frother. If they’re more of a wine enthusiast, Ashley recommends a wine membership from Huff Estates. They offer 6 and 12-bottle memberships and give that special person on your list the chance to try different wines and discounts to special events at the winery throughout the year.
Maybe you know someone who is obsessed with having fresh flowers in their home. Give them this unique gift from Ashley’s list: a Dahlia May flower subscription. You can choose from a variety of packages including full-year,
6 months, and monthly or seasonal. This is a unique gift that will bring joy to anyone on your list to brighten up their home, especially as we head into the colder months.
