10 Gift Ideas for the Whole Family

The countdown is on! It’s less than a week from the big day, and if you’re still stuck for ideas, we have plenty to fill their stockings and more!

We all know the holidays can get expensive, which is why the first place we go to when doing our holiday shopping is Giant Tiger. It’s not only a one-stop shop for everything holiday but with their everyday low prices, you get great value. We love The Grinch and Giant Tiger has a lot of fun licensed Grinch items.

Being a tween and a tween is the perfect time to craft your signature scent and there’s no better place to discover that than Bath & Body Works. They’ll love the new fragrance Cotton Candy Champagne in all these fun forms that they can layer on throughout their day like Shower Gel, Ultra Hydration Body Cream, Fine Fragrance Mist, and Hand Cream.

If you want to make a gift memorable for your tween or teen, make it personal. Let’s face it, basically, anything you can put their face on, they’re going to love. We thought it would be fun to get them some gifts they love and need but with a twist so we went online to the Staples Solutionshop and chose from fun gifts. They have so many options for personalized gifts that you can find on staples.ca.

For the person on your list who loves to try beauty products, the pink perfect clay mask by Alya will give them that Insta-worthy glow — perfect for those at-home spa days over the holidays. The Pink Perfect mask is specifically formulated with ingredients like Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, and Australian Pink Clay, which works to detoxify and cleanse pores. It’s also an amazing treatment to defend the skin against pollutants, oil, dirt and toxins. When you rinse it off, your skin feels soft and amazing and leaves your complexion bright and glowing – perfect for the holidays!

If you have a baker or a home chef on your list, they’re going to need a good pair of beaters for whipping up all those thick batters and sticky icings without clogging. Anyone who has ever tried to get the mashed potatoes free from the beaters by blasting it on high and then getting a hairdo of potatoes will vouch for this. We love these Easy-Clean Beaters from Hamilton Beach. They make light work out of mixing the thickest batters without clogging so you don’t have to worry about decorating your kitchen in splatters every time you bake. You can pick it up at Walmart.

If you’re stuck on ideas for someone in your family (we all have those hard-to-buy-for people on our list), this next idea is fail-proof. This Starbucks Canada gift collection features everything a coffee lover can dream of, including cool colour-changing cups, must-have beverage tumblers, Starbucks Christmas and Holiday Blend coffees, festive Starbucks gift cards and ornaments!

There’s nothing better than a family game night on those cold, snowy nights throughout the holidays. If you have a smaller child at home, and you don’t want them to feel left out, Goliath Games are fun for the whole family. Goliath is known for creating fun and entertaining family-friendly games that encourage limitless play. These games offer tons of fun for the whole family and keep children engaged!

For the gamers on your list, Just Dance 2022, the ultimate dance game, is back with new universes and 40 hot new tracks from chart-topping hits like “Believer” by Imagine Dragons, “Level Up” by Ciara, and more! This new game will feature popular Quebec influencer Enola Bedard in-game (information under embargo). Available on PS4, PS5, XBox and Switch.

Want to give Mom glowing skin for Christmas? Look no further than The Vivier GrenzCine line. She can layer the products as part of her routine, starting with the Vivier GrenzCine Serum, a concentrated serum formulated for thin skin that helps increase firmness and hydration of the skin while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, increasing luminosity and improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity. Afterward, the face cream hydrates and firms the skin while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and increasing luminosity. A little dab of the eye cream goes a long way to increase the firmness of the skin around the eyes and eyelids while diminishing fine lines and increasing moisturization and luminosity. And if we learned anything from Nora Ephron, it’s to not forget your neck. Vivier GrenzCine Neck is formulated to help increase the firmness of skin around the neck while providing the benefits of diminished fine lines and wrinkles, increased luminosity, and improved skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
