No – I am not suggesting medical attention or the men in white jackets (well at least not for all of you). What I am suggesting here is that you take advantage of all the holiday promos that are out there to make the final days of holiday shopping more bearable and less stressful. I’m done my holiday shopping, but got dragged into a mall by my sister this past weekend and trust me you don’t want to go there and if you do, you want to make it a quick and dirty affair. Thankfully Bella was quick, so her life was spared prior to full meltdown on my part.
@GetontheFlist tweeted me about such a ‘holiday helper’. ‘Get on the F List‘ is a campaign being put on by Fujifilm Canada to inspire better gift giving, rather than the mad dash of ‘damn it’s the night before and I don’t want to spend the next year in the dog house’. As a part of this, their site has a simple 5-step Gift Finder to help you brainstorm shopping ideas for the people on your list. What I personally like about this campaign and gift finder is that whilst they do suggest a variety of fuji cameras for the people on your list, they also give you a variety of non-camera, non-fuji suggestions. In addition, they offer a blog with gift advice from 31 Toronto and Vancouver retailers.
Another gift buying suggestion for those of you in Vancouver this weekend is that the Women’s Winter Faire is back Saturday & Sunday, December 20th & 21st at Heritage Hall on 3102 Main St (by the corner of 15th) from 11 am – 6 pm. Sad that I am not in Vancouver this weekend as my favourite new Vancouver designers, mother- daughter duo, Jen Hong and Morgan of Salty Bean are going to be there selling their salty critters and critter ware. Really didn’t get enough critter chains from them at the last fair and should have bought a doll or outfit for my new niece. Damn Raul for distracting me. Oh and if it is anything like the last fair there will be lots of other great finds for your naughty and nice lists. A couple of pics below from Raul’s and my November adventure there!
Oh and if anyone else has any other last minute shopping suggestions, please fire us a note.
