Gift ideas for young and old

Impress them by giving them gifts at the cutting edge of fashion. Between home schooling, lockdown and the return to the classroom, it must be said that the last few months have been far from easy. The  Sports Experts, Bentley and Bizou offers a range of trendy accessories such as jewelry, scarves, caps, bags and patterned stockings that are sure to impress. Your teenager has been talking to you for weeks about new, super trendy shoes, and Club C has something for everyone. For the more tech-savvy, a stop at La Source is a must! For the more fashion-conscious, stock up on beauty products and make-up at Pharmaprix.

Giving a gift to a woman you hold dear can be a real headache. Of course, you can offer her something based on her passions and interests. For a fitness enthusiast, you will find something to please her during a visit to Sports Experts. If she is more at home in the kitchen, she might like a recipe book from the Libraire du Portage. With the holidays approaching, Dans un Jardin, Yves Rocher and Pharmaprix offer an incredible selection of beauty gift sets. A new fragrance or her favorite product line should be sure to charm her! However, if you want to surprise her with an unusual gift, consider giving her an accessory that represents her. Bizou, Mozart and Bijouterie R.Savard are full of little treasures to suit all budgets. For a mother who has taken care of you from a distance or in confinement all year round, a good dose of comfort is in order at the end of the year. Why not choose decorative items from  Arteq and Folidéco so that she can make her space more pleasant, or even a beautiful knit from Chapelier, which she can match with all her coats this winter?

For all the times they’ve given you a hand with work around the house or for being your moral support at important moments, the men in your life deserve to have you recognize their devotion. Thank them by giving them a gift that matches their interests. If your father is a music lover, stop by La Source to discover their range of speakers. Is your brother-in-law a sports fan? Nothing could be simpler! Offer him a pair of trainers or a golf shirt from Sports Experts so he can keep in shape all year round. If your brother is a car enthusiast, note that the Librairie du Portage offers car guides that will satisfy his passion! Is your spouse always the first to volunteer to clear the snow from the driveway and the car? A coat from L’Équipeur would show him how grateful you are! And if he’s been good all year, a gift card from Ernest or Hangar-29 should make him very happy.

It’s a safe bet that they have already made their list to Father Christmas and can’t wait to see the presents under the tree! If you want to bet on stuffed animals that will make them scream with joy on Christmas morning, go to the Toy Shop which offers a wide variety. Do you spoil them with new pyjamas every year? You’re sure to find some cute sets at the Clément boutique that they’ll love! For little game lovers, the  Librairie du Portage offers coloring books so they can let their imaginations run wild, without forgetting to give them a book so they have a new story before going to bed. For New Year’s Eve, Au Bout’Chou and Calin Caline have sets for your children that are as chic as they are comfortable!

The year 2020 has been particularly difficult for everyone, and you want to spoil your children’s precious teachers or educators who have worked hard all year long. Ask the little ones to choose something special to give them as a little reward. An essential oil diffuser, a scented candle, a decorative cushion, a bubble bath set or a beautiful coffee mug should put a balm on their hearts. Find these comforting gift ideas at Folidéco, Arteq, Dans un Jardin and Naturiste. Or a little chocolate treat at  Laura Secord.

Don’t have much time to shop for Christmas presents and don’t know what to get some of your loved ones? Opt for the Comina gift card that will allow them to buy what they really want. No need to go out, you can get it from the comfort of your own home!

Happy shopping and Happy Holidays!
