Six Last Minute Gift Ideas

Christmas is upon us and you’ve still got shopping to do. Don’t worry, we have you covered. Here are six last minute gift ideas that are worth their weight in gold. No ties or socks will be found here.

WINE

Wine is always a great choice when you’ve run out of ideas for last minute gifts. For one, it doesn’t sit on a shelf collecting dust (like another snow-globe) and it can be enjoyed while you’re there. Here are two winning choices.

Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc

This fresh white wine from New Zealand will pair perfectly with any Christmas dinner but will be best enjoyed with some turkey and cranberry sauce. It’s a beautifully dry wine with a lively acidity that will add distinct flavour to your meal.

Mouton Cadet Bordeaux

An easy wine to pair with one of your many dinners over the holidays, Mouton Cadet has a fruity taste but remains exceptionally dry. A medium-bodied red wine, the Bordeaux will make a great gift that you’ll definitely want to have opened while you’re still there.

WISE Haircare for Men

For the man in your life who has everything, Wise makes a great gift that he will no doubt become addicted to. The shampoos, soap and other hair care products are all natural, make from simple ingredients and are packaged to not harm the environment.

APPLE WATCH

Spoil your loved ones this year with this amazing jack-of-all-trades time piece. The Apple Watch makes a great gift for health buffs and gadget lovers alike. With several different series now available, you don’t have to break the bank to get in on the action. Motivate good habits starting now.

DIPTYQUE

From classic scents to elaborate special editions, Diptyque is an excellent choice for a last minute gift. Browse though dozens of different candles, perfumes, body care products and more at the Holt Renfrew boutique here in Montreal. Make someone very happy this Christmas.

ORNAMENTS

Giving a friend or family member an ornament is a fabulous way to become part of a lasting Christmas tradition. Every year, when the time comes to put up the tree and the ornaments are unpacked, you’ll be part of a story that will last generations.

SECRID WALLET

This Dutch made masterpiece reduces the space that your bulky traditional wallet takes up and you won’t have that unsightly pocket bulge that end up ruining your pants. This wallet is elegant, handcrafted and comes in many styles. Available in Montreal at the Mnz Ruum barbershop on Drummond Street.
