For the Love of Last-Minute Shopping

The countdown is on and there are only a few weeks left until the big day! Let’s get real, I don’t want to repeat the same scramble of last year trying desperately to figure out what to get and coming up a little short.

It’s no surprise that Best Buy Canada has a smart last-minute gift guide from wearable tech to rest and relaxation. Check out these 5 items you need to pick up all when there isn’t much time left!

It Isn’t The Holiday Season Without These Items

As 2018 comes to a close in a few short weeks, I am busy getting my holiday shopping done, meal planning for those special people in my life, running to events and writing blog posts when I have a few hours to sit down at the office. I love the hustle and bustle of it all – it is the most wonderful time of the year after all. I think what I love most about the holidays are those moments when I can sit down with friends and family, put my phone away, and really be present with them. Here is how I plan to do that this year with a few items that I absolutely need for the holidays.
