How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Finding The Perfect Gift @ShopdotCA

in Travel on 12/10/12

The countdown is on!  Be careful my friends, if you are anything like me, before you know it, Christmas will be here.  Are you ready?  I’m not!  I’ve started to haul out the decorations and we picked out our tree this weekend, but beyond that I am so not prepared.

It’s okay though, that’s how I roll!  This is just one more reason I am truly thankful for on-line shopping from SHOP.ca, a site with Shopping and free shipping from right here in Canada, this means there is still time to get the perfect gift for everyone on your list!

If you promise you won’t tell I will give you a sneak peek at just a couple of the items that will be hidden under my tree this Christmas!

This very first gift I had intended to be a Christmas gift for the entire family, but when it got here I just couldn’t wait to open it.  It’s the Cuisinart 10 cup popcorn maker- Easypop.

Yes, it is well documented that I have a bit of a problem when it comes to popcorn, so when I saw this stylin’ popcorn maker and realized there was a healthier and prettier way to feed my addiction, you know I had to get it!  Not only is this popcorn maker on sale right now for only $69.99, but it is so easy to use and clean up!   J’adore. 

On my must find list for my tween this year was a pair of sweet earrings that would not break the bank and suit her SweetGirl personality.   I almost could not believe my eyes when I saw this deal! 4 pairs of 6mm SWAROVSKI® Elements Genuine Sterling Silver Stud Earrings at 86% off!

That means this gift is a grand total of $44.00!  You save $276.00!!  Ordered! Really feel like I am earning that #SuperShopper status with this deal!  Earrings, check!

One of my passions, er obsessions is taking pictures.  It seems I may have passed this little hobby on to my BlueEyed teen.  Works for me!  Looks like a great excuse to start thinking about a camera that is a step above a point and shoot.  SHOP has SO many to choose from!  I have my eye on this one, all the fun of a camera but with a little more  “wow” factor!  It’s a WATERPROOF CANON CAMERA!!

CANON POWERSHOT D20 12.1MP 5X 3″ OIS WATERPROOF

So much fun! Here are just some of the cool features:

Waterproof, Shockproof
Freeze-resistant
GPS Tracker
3.0″ Pure Color System LCD
Slim and sturdy with a highly visible colour layout, its buttons are operable even with gloved hands
DIGIC 4 Image Processor for excellent low-light performance
5x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle Lens

Shoot beautiful 1080p Full HD video with a dedicated movie button; zoom while shooting and play back videos on an HDTV via the HDMI output

As for the Hubby?  He is a tough one to Shop for!  Anyone else have this problem?  We have some travel coming up next year, so I’m thinking this gorgeous Travel Wallet might be a good place to start. 

SHOPtravelwalletSHOPTravelWallet2

It’s made of 100% leather and zips to close.   Perfect for people like me who are terrified of dropping those important travel documents! Now if I was really the “Best Wife Ever” I would include tickets to somewhere fabulous in that wallet, but hey, I don’t want to spoil him, so perhaps I will just top it off with a couple of coveted Travel Guides.  Nothing better then spending time dreaming together about our next great vacation!  I’m thinking Greece, England with the family, or maybe a CRUISE!  Sigh.

No gift list from me would be complete without adding in a little something for myself.  I mean, on top of some fantasy trip of course.  In the spirit of “I went Christmas shopping looked all kinds of cute, but FROZE this weekend while picking out a Christmas Tree”, I have chosen to add this little beauty to my own wish list; something to keep me warm in the Canadian cold….something Canada Goose!

I adore both this Ladies Richmond Jacket and the Ladies’ Montebello Parka jackets!

SHOPCanadaGooseSHOPCanadaGoose2

They ring in at $500.00 and $650.00 so some saving will be required, but oh to be warm when playing chauffer to my kids!  Worth it! 

It is easy to get lost in the fabulous selection at SHOP.ca and find the perfect gift for everyone.  My best holiday tip, when your Shopping, don’t forget to pick out a little pretty for yourself!  Take a peek, what would you pick up?

Happy Holidays!

      I don’t shop online much — usually just for books. But it’s sounding like a better and better idea. Glad to hear we have a site in Canada. Even better to hear about free shipping! I’ve got one more gift to get. I think I’ll check out Shop.ca. Thanks for letting me know about it.

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
