Shop And Ship

Send your love and a little gift this holiday season.

We’ve all been there: you find the perfect gift but there’s just no way it will arrive without breaking. Or worse, the cost to ship your gift to loved ones is more than the gift costs in the first place. With holiday parties and social get-togethers on the naughty list, this year more than ever before we’re relying on the mail to arrive in time, and in one piece. So how do you get a great gift that can survive the postal system? We’ve put together five great gifts that are easy to ship and we’re sure your recipient will love.

  • Make a statement with a new mask
    We don’t always appreciate the practical gifts until we truly need them but there’s no denying a new mask is a gift you know will be put to good use. With so many options available at Hudson’s Bay, Below The Belt, Blackwell Supply Co. and so many stores, there is truly a design or pattern for everyone on your holiday shopping list. Plus, masks are small and lightweight making them an easy choice to ship to your loved ones—no matter how near or far they may be.
  • Warm those toes and fingers
    Unless you’re really, really hot-blooded, or your gift recipient is south of the border, you’re probably starting to bundle up for the winter. And face it, who likes cold toes or numb fingers? The answer is no one. Cozy holiday socks or a chic pair of gloves are a great gift that your loved ones can put to good use instantly. Score some festive patterns or stick with neutrals that go with everything. These comfy classics from Nordstrom Rack won’t break in the mailroom and they won’t cost an arm (or a foot) to send.
  • Organize
    Have a person on your list that’s always losing something? Gift them a cute makeup bag from Sephora, jewellery organizer, or pencil case from Coles to keep their essentials together in one place. If you’re feeling extra generous send along with a cute lip balm, stylish bracelet, or fancy pen and pencil set to go with.
  • Don’t forget the card
    When in doubt, get the gift you know will be the right size, right colour, and will arrive in one piece—a gift card. In addition to taking the guesswork, and stress, out of gift-giving, a gift card lets your recipient get just what they want. Our Willowbrook gift cards are available in denominations from $10-$500 and they’re accepted by 130 great stores at Willowbrook.

However you’re celebrating, and whoever you’re celebrating with, be kind, be calm, be safe. And don’t forget to check the mail.

Why Camp When You Can Glamp?

If the idea of camping makes you think of mosquito bites, sunburns, and family fights trying to pitch a tent you’re not alone. Camping may not be for everyone but with a few essentials and slight upgrades you can glamp (glamorous camping) comfortably. We put together a list to help you save time so you can pack your glamping go-to bag quickly and get ready to hit the beach, park, or patio of your favourite re-opened restaurant.

BE READY FOR ON-THE-GO TOUCH-UPS

Sephora goodies, galore! Tans are great but may we suggest some sunscreen? Even if you manage to score a comfy seat in the shade, you still need an SPF. Reach for a lightweight, hydrating, silky sunscreen and remember to reapply. Trust us, your skin will thank you.

Okay so, it’s possible you might break a nail while on your glamping adventure but don’t fret. A glass nail file is all you need to touch up your mani between spa appointments. The benefits of glass files are huge not to mention they last forever! And who wouldn’t want a cute floral set?!

HAVE A DRINK

How do you make the great outdoors even greater? Cocktails. That’s right. Shake up a martini, keep the wine cool, and sip slowly on your favourite adult beverages. Be an environmentally friendly glamper with reusable straws from House of Knives. Snag an adjustable ready-to-go set (meaning it’s the perfect size no matter what chic glass you’re sipping from) that packs down into a compact case—perfect for on the go!

No one wants a warm drink. Keep those bevvies cold with their own chic cooler bag from Hudson’s Bay. As a bonus, the more you drink, the lighter it is to carry.
