With Christmas right around the corner, here are some last minute gift ideas for any woman in your life!
HOT STONE MASSAGE
These are my favourite! The hot stones are strategically placed on your body to promote relaxtion, relieve tension/pain, and improves circulation. The heat from the stones loosen our muscles which makes it easier to manipulate the deep tissues.
Hot Stone Massages can be purchased at most spas or you can buy a gift certificate at Life Experiences.
SEPHORA MAKEUP STUDIO BLOCKBUSTER
A $440 USD value for only $49.50. This gift would be great for any makeup diva in your life (think: it’ll keep your pesky little sister out of your make-up stash). 197 products including 96 eyeshadows, 84 lip glosses, 6 cream eyeliners, 2 eyeliner pencils, 3 blushes, 1 bronzer, 1 mascara, and 4 applicators. The sleek packaging includes a large mirror, tiered drawers, and it stands on legs that unfold from the base.
Available at Sephora.
STARBUCKS TASTE OF TAZO TEA GIFT SET
For the tea drinker in our lives. This $19.95 Taze Tea Gift Set includes 36 tea bags in 6 different flavours that include Tazo Awake, Tazo Zen, Tazo Refresh, Tazo Calm, Tazo Vanilla Roobios, and Tazo Passion. The gift comes in a ready-to-give silver colored box. Available at Starbucks.

PERFUME
The perfect fragrance gift set sampler from Sephora. The downside? I don’t think this is available in Canada :( There are 12 samples ranging from Bvlgari, Coach, Clinque, D&G, DKNY, Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Gucci, Juicy Couture, Prada, Marc Jacobs, and Versace. This is the perfect gift for a perfume-loving girlfriend, sister, mother, friend, aunt, cousin- whatever! It is the perfect perfume gift set for HER.
Visit Sephora for more information!
UPDATE: I found these gift sets at Shoppers Drugmart! They are $75 CDN, they include 12 perfume samples and a voucher for a FREE full-size perfume.
BEAUTY SAMPLE BOXES
If you’re really lost, none of these products/service relate to the woman in your life, or maybe some of these gift ideas are out of your price range (and that’s okay!), you can look at beauty sample services like Loose Button, Glymm Box, and Topbox. You can purchase the service as a gift for one month, 3 months, 6 months or even a year for about $10-$14 CDN/month. Research each company and maybe you’ll find the perfect fit for HER
