One of my favourite things to do every Christmas season is buy gifts for my friends and family; things that are really personal but useful so they can truly enjoy them! Every time I walk into Indigo, I constantly feel inspired to revamp my home décor or buy a new mug to add to my already big collection. Indigo always seems to be the place where my friends and I end up stopping into just to look around, as there are so many beautiful and artsy things to covet over. Not to mention there is usually a Starbucks nearby, and that’s my second obsession besides Indigo.
Recently my addiction grew even more when I stopped into my local Indigo to take a look around at their new holiday collection and winter essentials. I couldn’t help but share some of the amazing gift ideas I came across with you.
