How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Shoppers Holiday Gift Guide ~ Giveaway!

in Lifestyle on 12/15/17

Are you hitting the panic button about yet?  Christmas is quickly approaching and there’s still SO much to do!!  Including of course finding the PERFECT gift for everyone on your list.  Where do you start?  How about with a little beauty and pampering from the aisles of Shoppers!  Yes, from stocking stuffers to “I can’t believe you thought of that!!” presents, Shoppers Drug Mart has you covered.
When it comes to Christmas, some of my favourite things to buy are the stocking stuffers.  Not your average every day stocking stuffers, but unique items the people in my family will love.  Shoppers Drug Mart makes it easy! Here’s a peek at some of my faves for 2017:
On list years shopping list is the QUO Blending Sponge.  A basic necessity that every teen or Mama will appreciate.  (plus, it’s cute and fits right in the toe of those stockings!).
Even though this little beauty won’t quite fit in the stocking, I have to buy at least one…and maybe one extra for myself!  How adorable is a gift that provides 12 Days Of Beauty.  It’s a new surprise behind every door!  $40 never looked so good.
I’ll be picking up a couple of sets for some special people on my shopping lists.  Great colours at a fabulous price point.  Just $16 per set for the Quo Breathable nail minis.
If the favourite man on your list is impossible to shop for we’ve found the perfect gift for him.  Well, actually, for both of you.  It’s the Fragrance Sampler. Oh my, yes!  A chance for him to try out a variety of sensational fragrances and when he stumbles upon his favourite (errr your favourite) there is a gift certificate included to pick up a full-size bottle.  ARV $85.00
 Have a friend, Teacher or loved one with a sweet tooth?  Don’t miss the opportunity to pick up these cute gifts.  Coffee Toppings and Cocoa Mixes.  Hmm, great to add to those gifts you have already organized for the Dance Teachers, Gym Coaches, and Grandmas too!
Craving a gift that’s both practical and pretty?  Shoppers can help.  Feast your eyes on the Oral B electric toothbrush with rose gold accents.  I have an Oral B electric brush, which I love, but not in Rose Gold!  How cute.
 Opening stocking on Christmas mornings is one of my favourite things to do.  With a little thought, a little time and a little care you can create a unique Christmas stocking for the one you love and get your Christmas morning off to the sweetest of beginnings.  On to some fabulous news.  I’ve teamed up with the generous people of Shoppers to bring you this fabulous giveaway.

      apart from the traditional -mandatory- mandarin orange in the toe, my other standard is some liqueur-filled chocolates, which we’ve been using ever since they came available.
