It’s the season to give a gift, but as most delivery services are past their deadline, shopping online (and getting the gift in time) is most likely no longer an option.
For those who live in Calgary, and select places around the Country, I’m here to save the day with a few last minute gift ideas that are not only new and fresh, but also ones you’ll have under the tree this week.
Subscriptions are the gifts that keep on giving and are always my favourite gift to receive. Here are two great ideas that will surprise and delight throughout 2023:
Homestead Bread delivers a neutral whole grain sourdough to your door each week in an ever changing variety of sweet and savory loaves .
For those bread-centric lovers like myself, add on a weekly mini loaf which is often created with ingredients rarely (if ever) combined into a sourdough before.
I’ve seen close to 100 shows since I first discovered my love of Broadway; from London to NYC and all throughout Canada.
And the best and most affordable way to keep up is with a season’s subscription to Broadway Across Canada.
Not only does it ensure you never miss a show, it allows you to secure your favourite seats before tickets go on sale to the general public and all at a generous savings.
In 2023 one of my top ten favorite shows, Pretty Woman will be touring across the Country.
Now if tech and fashion are on someone’s wishlist you’ll want to check out the newest innovations from;
Duer not only sells the most comfortable denim in world, they sell the only waterproof denim I know of!

It wouldn’t be Christmas with out new socks or underwear, and when it comes to my thick thighed friends, finding an underwear with a gusset that doesn’t shred like parm within 30 days is always a challenge.
But finally (insert dramatic gasp) a new company has perfected a design, with all the bells and whistles for us!
Not only do they have the package pouch that keeps your boys from sticking to your leg, they’ve designed the undercarriage of the underwear to wick sweat and keep you cool by utilizing a incredibly durable poly spandex fabric.
The remainder of the boxer brief is crafted using an incredibly soft modal fabric that moves with your body without riding up!
From colorful prints, some created by local artists, to solid colors, there’s something for everyone.
Now that your package is being cradled and you’re all toasty in Duer it’s time to pour the mixologist on your list a brand new spirit just released in Canada and made right here in Calgary.
Reifil Rye is a 100% Canadian Rye whisky and the newest offering from Alberta Distillers
With rich notes of crème brûlée, chocolate, toffee, banana bread and poached pear, this high-rye spirit is a feast of a Whisky. Perfectly enjoyed neat, on the rocks and adds a unique profile to your classically mixed cocktails.
Now that your shopping is complete, sit back, relax and enjoy the holidays.
Merry Christmas
Mr. Fab
