Editor’s Picks Gift Guide: What’s On Our Wish List
Updated: Nov. 30, 2016
Now that we’ve found gifts for everyone else, it’s time for the Best Health editors to be a little selfish and share our holiday wish list.
Giant Charlotte’s Magic Cream
I squeezed every last drop of Charlotte’s Magic Cream out of the sample I got at Holt Renfrew and I would love to get my hands on this giant pot of magic. The patented anti-aging and hydrating ingredients stimulate collagen production and fight free radicals. It’s almost as good as beauty sleep. Almost. Giant Charlotte’s Magic Cream, $320 (150 mL) at Holt Renfrew

Sarah Moon x Nars Holiday Collaboration
This season, I’m obsessed with the eye and cheek palette from the Sarah Moon x Nars Holiday Collaboration. It’s a gorgeous, limited edition assortment of shadows, liners, highlighters and blushes that make creating a perfect party look (or two) effortless. NARS Give In Take Dual-Intensity Eye and Cheek Palette, $85, exclusively at sephora.ca

Apple Watch Series 2
There’s an onslaught of features and apps for the hardcore athlete, but wellness warriors can rejoice, too. This watch tracks everything from steps to laps in the pool (underwater!) to how well you’re sleeping while helpfully nudging you to breathe and drink water throughout the day. It’s got everything you need to help you reach your #goals. Apple Watch Series 2, $489 at apple.ca

Tilley Floppy Fedora
I’m trading in my toque for this stylish floppy fedora. Bonus: discreet earwarmers can be pulled down on cold days so I don’t actually have to sacrifice comfort for style. Tilley Floppy Fedora, $115 at tilley.com

Lustrous Silk Pillowcases
You can’t put a price on a good night’s sleep and these silk pillowcases are a game-changer. Clique’s pillowcases are made of 100% mulberry silk and are so irresistibly soft. Silk bedding is the epitome of luxury and I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t love this as a gift. Lustrous Silk Pillowcases, $120/pair at clique.com

Nannette De Gaspé Library of Skin Seduction Masque Collection
This is the beauty lovers definition of ‘treat yo self’! The holidays are the perfect time to indulge my mask-obsession with this stunning set.
Nannette De Gaspé Library of Skin Seduction masque collection, $510, only at Holt Renfrew

Kobo Aura ONE
Netflix marathons are great, but there’s nothing quite like getting lost in a good book. The Kobo Aura ONE holds up to 6,000 eBooks, making it the ultimate book lover’s escape. This model is Kobo’s biggest, clearest screen yet and is made with front-light technology that reduces blue-light exposure. This feature makes bedtime reading so much more comfortable – perfect for those late nights with the latest page-turner. Kobo Aura ONE, $250 at Indigo

I just recently discovered this designed-in-Canada watch brand and love that they provide customization at really reasonable prices. Pick your watch, add a second strap for $30-40 and engrave the back for just $25. The Debut, from $180 at mediumwatches.com

Want to make 2017 your best year yet? Start every morning on a good (read: well-caffeinated) note with a cup of fresh, deeply flavoured coffee from Nespresso’s VertuoLine Espresso Maker.
