December 11, 2022
Hard to buy for

It’s our favourite time of the year and why is it going by so quickly this year?! Festive holiday soirees, rosy cheeks, fluffy snow, and of course perfectly thoughtful presents! This year we’ve released a series of gift guides that will guide you towards holiday gift-giving success for beauty lovers and beyond. Today is our last one – a holiday gift guide for those hard to buy for.

First up is something so swish, so chic, so special even the toughest nut on your list will crack receiving this gorgeous gift.

Being at home more I want my house to smell like a 5-star hotel at all times. So when I was introduced to the Italian luxury home fragrance house, Dr. Vranjes Firenze, I was smitten.

Over the last 39 years, the Florence-based company has grown to now be available in 60 countries. With 13 scents in Canada as either scent diffusers, candles, car perfumes, or hand-crafted gift sets – there is no excuse to not be surrounded by gorgeous scents.

Dr. Vranjes Firenze’s Rosso Nobile Collection | $320

Dr. Vranjes Firenze’s Rosso Nobile Collection

Dr. Vranjes Firenze’s star fragrance Rosso Nobile features notes of “orange, grapes, berries, violet, magnolia, and birch wood”. Three years in the making, this scent is both relaxing, familiar, and richly unique. I think a gorgeous addition to any home for the holidays and winter season.

I mean. These chocolates are the best, right? So silky smooth, such a special treat. This year LINDOR has two wrapped gift box sets. Yes! Pre-wrapped – can I get a round of applause.

LINDOR Milk Chocolate Truffles Gift Box – Truffles filled with a smooth melting chocolate centres surrounded by a delicate chocolate shell.

LINDOR Assorted Chocolate Truffles Gift Box (my fave, because why try one flavour when you can try them all…that should really by my life’s motto). An assortment of milk, white, and 60 percent cacao dark chocolate truffles.

Sebastian Dark Oil Shampoo and Condition set | $28

Sebastian dark oil set

I have written about my love this for this lux line of hair products before – truly, they smell so amazing and their elevated black and gold packaging make them a really special gift for those hard to buy for.

What is so special about the Sebastian Professional Dark Oil collection is its lightweight finish that leaves your hair smooth and shiny and bouncy and that is all due to the special blend of oils the line uses. 

The Sebastian Dark Oil Lightweight conditioner smooths and detangles in a snap and feels so luxurious. I leave it on for two minutes and when I rinse my hair out, it has never felt so soft. Conditioners often weigh my fine hair down – but not this one! It is a fine-hair dream.

If you missed it, we recently published two additional gift guides:
