Christmas Hostess Gift Ideas: 61 creative ways to say thanks, all under $100
See Christmas hostess gift ideas »
Christmas is often the most stressful time of the year for many people. Even more so for those who decide to host the cocktail parties, the dinners, and the new years bashes (hats off to them). Because it’s a party faux pas to show up empty handed—especially when someone has spent hours preparing—we’ve thought of creative Christmas hostess gift ideas for those who bare the grunt of the work.
The bonus of shopping for a friend or family member who is constantly having people over, is that a gift that works as a thank you for planning a holiday party is also useful to their everyday life. Give them gifts that will help them relax after the fete dies down like a red wine and chocolate set or a scented candle that will make the rest of post-party worries melt away. From Cooking with Siracha to the now-classic Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty coffee table book, these items will look beautiful in a new apartment or well lived in home.

for kids »Christmas is the time when the younger ones in our lives declare what they want to see under the tree.

While our selection of holiday gift ideas represents a wide range of ages from tiny toddlers to teenagers, they are all products that will make them look forward to your gifts for years to come.

And when you’re young, the $16 price tag means nothing, but the designer name says it all.

From irritation brought on by sunscreen to keeping ingrown hairs at bay the natural way, we’re here to soothe your sensitive skin all summer long.

Lush takes retail therapy to the next level with a debut makeup collection that taps into your subconscious
If shopping is your mood booster of choice, listen up: Lush’s highly anticipated, two-years-in-the-making colour collection is taking retail therapy one step further. The forthcoming “Emotional Brilliance” makeup collection was created with a strategic behavioural therapist, resulting in a product line that’s named to reflect psychological needs.
The collection, which will boast 13 liquid lip colours, 11 liquid eyeliners and six cream eyeshadows (all priced at $23—way cheaper than most therapists’ going rate), is described as a way to “fulfill an emotional need at any give moment.”

Cold weather beauty: 10 essentials to cure dry skin and keep your hair static-free
See all our winter beauty dry skin and hair essentials! »
If cold weather automatically equals itchy, dry skin and flyaway hair, you’re not alone. There’s nothing quite like a blast of cold air (for five months straight, that is) to make us realize just how much care our skin and hair actually need. Suddenly the idea of layering on as many moisturizers and serums as possible doesn’t seem crazy. Deep conditioners go from being a weekly treat to a daily necessity. And if there was an award for hoarding hand creams, we would certainly win it this time of year.

My father, the skin-care guru
By Allyssia Alleyne
My father is the biggest skin-care nut I know. No, he’s not a dermatologist. And, no, he doesn’t work in the beauty industry. His obsession started when he tried a few of my mom’s products, and now his interest in them far surpasses hers. Amazed by the results, he wanted to see what else a little extra attention could do for his skin. I know mothers are typically the ones who teach their daughters about beauty, but it my was dad who taught me the value of a good toner, the zit-fighting power of toothpaste, and how wonderful it feels to steam your face over a sink of hot water (along with showing me how to scramble eggs and throw a punch). So, in honour of Father’s Day, here are five of my most-loved products that my dad introduced me to.
