Fire up the chimney, and set up the Christmas tree, the holidays are quickly approaching.  With the holiday season comes the seemingly endless gift shopping, cooking, cleaning and guests. The best gifts are always the most practical, trendy and personal. Here are a few of our favorite gift ideas to thank you holiday hostess with this season. First off, for a chic and useful gift, head to Indigo for the silver Bump Creative iPad Mini case. This cute accessory is ideal for the busy hostess looking for ways to keep her iPad displayed and accessible while she searches for new recipes to test out in her kitchen. Next on the nice list is of course the classic pyjama ensemble. No Christmas is complete without one to cozy up to! Your holiday entertainer will appreciate the chance to lounge fire-side in the long-jane pj from Victoria’s Secret after a long, hard night of party hosting. For a non-traditional, yet festive home décor gift, head to Zara Home and pick-up the pine cone wreath for your hostess, as this cute, seasonal piece will add a modern touch to the home and will surely impress your party planner with your thoughtful gift-giving. For something outside the box, head to the Hudson’s Bay for the Brix Wine tasting gift set perfect for entertaining and large gatherings. Or set the tone of the evening with the Statesman Game Box that’s fun for all ages and will keep the party going all evening long.
