That Hard-To-Buy-For Person on Your List

That Hard-To-Buy-For Person on Your List

Everyone has that one person on their Christmas list that they struggle to find a gift for year after year. Here are 5 suggestions to make shopping a little bit easier this year:

 

  1. Tickets to a concert: Look online and see when their favourite band is coming to town or is there a music festival they would be interested in?

    Tip: if you don't know the person well, ask a good friend of theirs what type of music they like. Remember to buy two tickets! A concert alone is no fun.

    Buying a ticket to a concert or event is a great way to invest in an experience, rather than an item that will take up space in a closet.

  2. Gift card to a hot new restaurant: Do a little research and see what's new and exciting in the area. Consider what type of food they enjoy and pick accordingly. This is a great gift for any foodie in your life.

    Top Rated Restaurants in Calgary: 
    Model Milk, Teatro, Rouge, Blink, Alloy, Noteable.

  3. A great cookbook: Cookbooks are an awesome gift because they aren't something someone would necessarily buy on their own. It's exciting to add a new one to the collection and try out different recipes.

    Suggestions from the Top Sellers List:
    La Mere Brazier: The Mother of Modern French Cooking
    The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook by Lindsay Landis
    True Food: Seasonal, Sustainable, Simple, Pure by Andrew Weil


  4. The Fitbit Flex: This wristband will track steps, distance, calories burned, active minutes and more. This particular model also tracks how long and well you sleep. This is a practical gift for anyone, but specifically for someone who may be looking for a little motivation to get in shape for the New Year.

  5. Homemade granola: Buy a dozen mason jars and fill them with your favourite homemade granola. Add a ribbon, a crafty tag listing the ingredients and give them to all your friends and coworkers. It is thoughtful, and tasty!
