Yorkdale Shopping Centre

And just like that, the holiday season is here. No matter if you’re gifting to your family, friends, partner or work colleagues, we truly believe nothing beats a beautiful, carefully chosen gift. To help you navigate the busy, bustling season ahead, we’ve made holiday shopping that much easier with our gift guide that covers off the biggest trends of the year. Each selection is curated, considered and promises to hit the holiday mark.

Shopping for a fashion lover can be intimidating but picking up a sleek accessory in a bold colour is always a safe bet. Saturated hues of green (the ultra-trendy shade of 2021), purple, blue and pink will add a pop of cheery colour to any ensemble and mix seamlessly into any closet. Look for silk scarves, handbags, jewellery and other easy accessories.

There’s a never-ending selection of chic, party-ready cocktail accessories out there for the eternal bartender in your life. Whether they love mixing up classic cocktails and mocktails or are always on the hunt for the next big recipe, opt for sleek pieces that will blend in on their bar cart like shakers, glasses, picks or even a stylish decanter.

Consider this category for the home décor, art and architecture lovers in your life. From designer puzzles to help pass the winter hours, to planters, blankets, candles and more, there’s no shortage of unique, modern gifts to shop this year. Another sure-to-please option is a beautifully curated coffee table book that they can display at their next intimate gathering.

We all know a beauty lover. With every holiday season overflowing with skincare, makeup and fragrance gift sets, knowing what to pick out for them can be a daunting task. Look for limited edition picks from their go-to brands or hone in on one of their favourite looks and go from there, whether they’re always rocking a bold lip or are a cat eyeliner connoisseur.

This one is for the foodies and eternal hosts. From the baker extraordinaire to a budding chef, shopping for food lovers can be a piece of cake. There are so many options available now from beautifully designed cookware and kitchen accessories, with each one adding an always-appreciated bright spot to every kitchen. Gifts like elegant dishware, delectable cake stands and small but mighty stocking stuffers such as chopsticks and mugs promise to impress.

No matter who’s on your shopping list this year, these thoughtful gift ideas guarantee a stylish and memorable holiday season.
