How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Help With That Last Minute Shopping AND A Heys Luggage Giveaway!!

in Lifestyle on 12/12/14

Eek! There’s less than two weeks until Christmas!  It is officially time to start freaking out!  So many gifts left to buy and not enough time!  For me, the stumbling block is always trying to find the perfect gift.  One that will make the people in my life grin from ear to ear, or squeal with delight.  I take joy in finding that gasp worthy gift, I also spend more time that I care to admit banging my head against the wall until I get all those names checked off the list.  Confession; it’s hard to come up with great gift ideas for everyone on your list.  My newest secret weapon? The Shopping Channel.  Not only do they have a little something for everyone on your list, but they have pulled together a Holiday Gift Guide crammed full of  hot deals you can have delivered right to your door!  (Insider tip:  If you get that order in by 11:59PM EST on December 21st they can get that gift to most major cities by December 23rd!)

Check out some of the little beauties I found while shopping for the people I love:

TSCStockingStuffers

I don’t just do stocking stuffers, I try and do a few ultimate stocking stuffers!  With that in mind, here are some of my picks!  This set of Sigal Style Set of 3 Pave Crystal Stack Rings, only $39.99.  Perfection!  Second up, the L’Occitane Lime Zesty Duo with Shea Buttter at only $29.99.  Fun to give, happy hands and a sweet theme for for a  stocking on Christmas morning.

TSCRingsTSCCreme

 

Beyond the stocking stuffer!  Let’s start checking some names off that Christmas Shopping list.  For the foodie in you life you can’t go wrong with this Gift Basket stuffed full of Gourmet Treats! I adore that this basket contains an array of specialty foods produced by passionate Canadians from coast to coast

TSCGourmetBasket

 

Do you have a tween, teen or cool Mom to shop for?  Don’t miss this!  It’s the Isaac Mizrahi Live! Skinny Strap Round Coloured Mother of Pearl Dial Watch!  Available in a variety of colours.  I narrowed it down to pink or yellow for the teen in my house.  Hmm for only $59.99 I might just have to pick up both! 

TSCWatchTSCWatchYellowTSCBose

 

Do you have a music lover in your midst?  I do!  At $159.99 this little Bose SoundDock XT Speaker is capable of filing the house with music in a very big way. 

TSCloulou

 

Still stuck?  Magazine Subscriptions are always a hit!  You just have to match the right magazine to the right person!  From Aunts to Uncles, to fashion forward nieces, when you score nine months of Lou Lou Magazine for only $9.95, everybody wins!

 

 

 

 

The deal that caught my eye, and my own personal show stopper, is the gorgeous Heys 3-Piece Lightweight Spinner Luggage Set!   Available in a variety of unique colours that make your luggage easier to spot at the airport, this luggage is a joy to navigate wherever your vacations might take you. 

TSCHeys1

This pretty blue is called Met Reflux Blue.  It’s tough, it’s light, and it’s at the very top of my personal wish list!  Some of the features of this set:

• Comes with a unique, attractive pattern on the outer shellTSCHeys2
• Lightweight luggage that features a sleek, modern design
• Spinner wheels spread the load weight evenly while allowing for effortless motion in different terrains
• Fully lined interior features buckled compression straps as well as zippered divider and mesh pockets
• Push-button telescopic handle system with multi-stage locking heights
• Comes with a zippered expansion system allowing for an extra 20% in packing capacity
• A diamond textured surface has been applied to the Ambitus’ exterior surface to help prevent scratches and scuff marks

This hot deal is PERFECT for the jetsetter in your life!  Regularly priced at $429.97, you can find it on for a special Holiday Price of $349.97!  Don’t forget this, and all shopping at The Shopping Channel must be done by December 21st at 11:59 p.m. EST in order to get delivery to most major cities by Dec. 23!

      I’d take it to Paris. Because you need to maintain a certain level of style, even with luggage.

      We are planning our first family trip to the Dominican! This is our first trip as a family (we have a 16 month old) and our first trip since our honeymoon, so we are really really pumped! A new set of luggage would just be the cherry on top!

And then there’s @loviamykonos. 🤍

Looking for a hotel in Mykonos? This one has stunning views, the warmest staff, dreamy boutique-style surrounding and an unmatched location.

There were so many moments sitting on our terrace, looking out over the Aegean, we’d look at each other and say, “Can you believe we’re here! That this is real!” 💕
Lovia, you were pure magic. ✨
We left a little piece of our hearts there. 🇬🇷🤍

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
