As we grow older, we tend to find ourselves not knowing what to ask for Christmas…even I do! I know, shocking! Although, after the holidays, we always end up hearing about the gifts that others got this year and we all think: I wish I had asked for that!
Ladies, today I’m going to tell you about the 10 gifts you forgot to ask for and that you need to get yourself!
1. The Travalo
Ever wanted to bring your favourite perfume with you on a night out, but your tiny clutch bag was too small for it? Here’s the solution! The Travalo. This small refillable vaporizer can allow you to always have your favourite perfume with you. And when I say always, it means that you can even bring it with you on an aircraft, because of the small amount it contains. Check it out on Travalo.com.
2. Box Set of Your Favourite Beauty Label
We all have our favourite beauty product label. When you love it, you just want to buy every product they sell, right? Most of the time, and especially around Christmas, they sell box sets with a range of different products from the company. Personally, these sets always give me the opportunity to get items that I will use, though I wouldn’t buy if it weren’t for the box set.
3. A Day at the Spa
After a long semester and crazy days with exams, we all need some “me” time. What better way to relax and contemplate how fabulous and incredible you were for the past month than a day at the Spa. A massage, a pedicure, a manicure, a beauty mask, a mud or a milk bath, “la totale”! After going through hell of a semester, a day in heaven is totally necessary.
4. A New Clutch or a Wallet
My favourite accessory I see on girls in bars and clubs is definitely the clutch or large wallet. Like a handbag, it defines you and is your declaration of being a woman to the world. And as with handbags, you can never have too many of them.
5. The gift set of Victoria’s Secret’s Victoria perfume
This one was very popular in the Youtube Beauty Guru community and when you smell it, you’ll understand why! I’m not too much of a fan of the sweet and sugary scents, but the subtlety of this one killed me. It’s not too sugary, with a bit of fruity and a tiny bit of rose aroma in it. The gift set includes a body lotion, a body wash and a fresh body mist.
6. A Dinner Night in one of Ottawa’s Most Glamorous and Expensive Restaurants
Ottawa has many hot spots where you can imagine how glamorous celebs live. I think it’s our obligation to treat ourselves properly sometime and get a fancy dinner at a restaurant.
My favourite downtown spots are:
- The Sidedoor: You can enjoy gastronomy à deux for an affordable price.
- E18hteen restaurant: If you’re looking for quality, ambiance and incredible wine, this is the place to go.
- Le Château Laurier*: I personally enjoy having tea or brunch here.
- SOCIAL: Frequented by many politicians, hockey players and visiting celebrities.
- Sopra and Sotto: Go to Sopra for the best Italian food in the city, and Sotto, for a good party night.
7. One of Lush’s Christmas Boxes
Lush is a winner in face and body products. They make their own products and they have a very large range of gift bags, boxes and baskets. It all depends on what you need and you can choose the perfect product that they’re sure to have.
8. The GlamGlow Mud Mask
My secret weapon! This little one will be your favourite. It’s helped me a lot with imperfections over my face. It’s not a miracle worker, but it’s the closest thing available. It did better than any products I tried in the past. It’s available at Sephora at an affordable price.
9. Concert Tickets
Major concerts are so accessible when you live in Ottawa. You can be in Ottawa itself, or you can go to Montreal or Toronto. Make sure you check your favourite artists tour dates to know when they’re in town or not to far out of town.
10. Items from your wish-list on Luvocracy.com
The Pinterest look-a-like, but with the ‘’purchase’’ option, will be the end of you! So that’s why next year, make sure you show your shopping bag to people. With the infinite possibilities of gifts found on that website, you won’t be disappointed by what you find under the tree.
