We know the importance of choosing wisely when it comes to spending our hard-earned money. Of course, with the holidays here, it becomes that much harder to avoid buying a little something (or two) while we shop for all the nice people on our list.
This December, we’re sharing what’s caught our attention and what we’re loving right now, from tried-and-true purchases to items still on our wish list. Hopefully Santa is reading!
Why We Love It: Forget Hermes. Designer Yasu Michino crafts timeless leather bags, and the Odeon bucket bag is a standout as an investment piece. Made in Italy from grained French Taurillon leather, it combines sleek design with impeccable craftsmanship. With signature metal details and the versatility to be worn as a crossbody or carried as a top-handle bucket bag, it’s both functional and elegant, perfect for all our everyday needs.
Why We Love Them: Thank whatever overseeing deity announced the end of “sad” biege and grey, we are all about adding pops of colour to our abodes in surprising ways. Simons Maison‘s house brand sheets in this delightful fuchsia bring a joyful burst of colour to your boudoir. Crafted from organic cotton, they promise supreme comfort for vibrant, restful nights.
Why We Love It: Look, we’ve got too much on the go to worry about if we’re taking care of our gut and staying hydrated all the time. Blume makes it super easy with their individually packaged, tasty, refreshers that gently hydrates while supporting your gut with probiotics, prebiotics and superfoods. Our SuperBelly Gut-Building Hydration Powder of choice? Lemon Ginger.
Why We Love It: If you are like us, you too have been inundated with LED masks ads. But which ones actually work? We’ll put our money on the Happy LED Face Mask which uses cutting-edge LED light therapy and infrared technology. It claims to improve skin’s appearance, enhances radiance, and offers a spa-like experience at home. Available at well.ca.
Why We Love Them: Great for those who want some colour but aren’t quite ready to leave black behind. Crafted in Italy from 100% cotton, it’s everything we dream of. (We’d never sleep in anything that wasn’t a natural fibre.) The playful rainbow piping adds just the right pop to the collar, cuffs, and pockets, combining classic comfort with a touch of fun. We’d never be embarrassed to greet the delivery guy in these.
Why we love it: From Hot to Go to Femininomenon, Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is a bold, glittering pop masterpiece that we can’t get out of our heads. With infectious hooks, clever lyrics, and a fearless embrace of vulnerability, we haven’t gotten these songs out of our heads this year. Roan’s unique voice and unapologetic storytelling create anthems that celebrate individuality, making it impossible not to fall in love with this album. One day, we’ll get that H-O-T-T-O-G-O dance down.
Why We Love Them: These Indi City Signature Blankets Earrings in Gilded Bone make more than a statement. We love them for their timeless Blanket style and high-quality craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Turtle Island, Indi City honours Indigenous sovereignty, with a commitment to amplifying the voices of Matriarchs and preserving the legacy of original storytellers through design and innovation.
Why We Love It: Eighth Day’s The Resurfacing Tonic is a game-changer for radiant, renewed skin. Developed by dermatologist Dr. Antony Nakla, it combines lactic and glycolic acids for deep exfoliation, while cucumber and aloe extracts calm and balance. Vegan-friendly, suitable for all skin types, and housed in a recyclable glass bottle, makes it our top recommendation for all our besties.
