“If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart.”
< $25 – Fur Trapper Hat: help him stay snow-shoveling-ready (and warm!) with a fur trapper hat.
< $50 – Roots Ipad II Sleeve – this iPad case offers padding and a bright kelly green interior.
< $75 – UGG slippers – these slip on scuff slippers are a pillow for his (and your!) feet.
< $100 – HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY COLLECTION flask with blanket sleeve: thanks to Mad Men, flasks have made a comeback. The Bay’s signature print flask is a great conversation piece.
< $125 – UGG Shearling Glove: comes in brown, camel and black leather – a cozy classic.
< $200 – A plaid scarf: not too-fashion-forward, but a soft statement that keeps him looking pulled together. This look works for the office and weekends.
< $300 – Red Wing® for J.Crew Wabasha boots: help him fight rain and snow in style.
< $400 – Barbour® Beaufort jacket: every man needs a Barbour jacket, it’s a classic staple.
< $500 – Alden® for J.Crew suede longwing bluchers: if he doesn’t know what shoes to wear with jeans on casual Friday or nights out, these are them! They also work with dress pants and a suit. They aren’t to be missed in black or dark brown leather either (a shoe in for a more conservative dresser – for the daring, check out the high tops).

It’s that time of year… here’s my GIFT GUIDE for all the amazing women in your life. Give well!
“The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.” ~Pierre Corneille, Le Menteur
< $25 – Glamour Travel Bags – need a Secret Santa Gift or stocking stuffer? These colourful totes are great for travel – keeping your lingerie, laundry and shoes organized.
< $50 - GAP Sequin Tote – you can never have too many totes. This sequin bag in polyester is great for gym clothes, a laptop, and other essentials.
< $75 – Iomoi monogrammed canvas makeup bag – nothing adds a personal touch to a gift like someone’s initials! And if you’re tight on time or want a little less bank, Iomoi’s noncustom large and small zigzag canvas totes serve a multitude of purposes.
< $100 - TOMS Beaumont Skull Slip-On – in red or navy – These limited holiday edition TOMS are too good to pass up. And with every purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.
< $150 – Jo Malone’s perfume – Jo Malone has a fragrance for everyone. Favoring citrus scents, grapefruit is my go-to. The collection (including candles and body lotion) make great hostess gifts.
< $200 - Henri Bendel’s “Disturbed Stripe Small Train Case” – every woman’s dream toiletry bag.
< $250 - Michael Kors Rose Golden Chronograph Watch – a gift she’s guaranteed to LOVE.
< $400 - White + Warren’s Cashmere Travel Wrap – nothing says the holidays like cashmere, but I wear my grey frost cashmere wrap year-round (buy in Canada). I want every colour!
< $500 - YSL’s Chic Leather iPad case / sleeve – comes in black and pink. Speaks for itself.

XII Heritage Case. SAKs Monogrammed. MICHAEL Kors. Want Les Essentiels.


Tory Burch Tablet. Henri Bendel Stripe. CHANEL Quilted. Oscar de la Renta.




The iPad needs no introduction. Oprah’s favorite thing EVER, she’s rumored to have cried when Apple agree to include it in her December 2010 giveaway show (jealous?). Not lucky enough to be in that audience, I’m waiting for my engraved iPad 2.0 in the mail… Not a patient person by nature, after hitting a few local Apple stores I quickly learned that the 4-5 week wait (now 2-3) quoted at apple.com is better than lining up at the crack of dawn. Which brings me to operation-stylish-case.
For now I’ve ordered Apple’s Black Leather “Smart Cover”. It has a magnetic connection that puts your device to sleep when you close it, and does double duty as a keyboard stand (great for travel). I’ll start with this case while I decide between my top 6-favorite above. Thankfully the first iPad edition’s dimensions and 2.0′s (Height: 9.50 inches – 241.2 mm – and Width: 7.31 inches – 185.7 mm) are close enough that you can choose from the same cases. Ooh la LOOOVE!
