Last-Minute Gifts That Won’t End Up in a Junk Drawer from Quo Beauty, Cowbell Brewing Co. and Good Luck Socks!

We’re officially down to the wire. Christmas is 2 weeks away and while I’m sure the ultra-organized among us had all their gifts wrapped and labelled back in November, the rest of us are panic-scrolling and whispering “it’s fine” into our coffee mugs. 

 

Some people are easy to shop for - they’ll hand you a list, a link and possibly a coupon code. Others are vague, mysterious and fully expect you to read their mind. But the hardest gifts? The people you don’t know super well but still feel obligated to buy for. You know the ones: your hairdresser, yoga instructor, kids’ teachers, gift-exchange randoms… and yes, somehow your spouse still ends up on this list! You could of course go the gift card route but to me, any gift card under $50 is kind of cheap so physical gifts are preferred for this.

 

The goal here: thoughtful, useful gifts that won’t live forever in the back of their closet. Bonus points if they feel a little indulgent - let’s go! 

 

Quo Beauty Gift Sets (aka: one-stop shopping salvation) 

 

Quo Beauty has seriously stepped up their gift-set game. What started as mostly makeup and brush sets has expanded into a little bit of everything, making it dangerously easy to grab all your gifts in one Shoppers Drug Mart run. Personally, I’m obsessed with: 

 

Quo Beauty 12 Days of Bath - $27 

An advent calendar, but make it self-care. Open a door a day and uncover bathy, spa-adjacent goodness designed to turn even the quickest rinse into a moment of calm. 

Inside you’ll find: 

A Bath Mesh Sponge for extra-foamy, luxurious lather 

A Fuzzy Scrunchie because cozy hair accessories are elite 

A Satin Sleep Mask for beauty sleep (or blocking out family chaos) 

30ml Shower Gel with a holiday-inspired scent

30ml Hand Cream for winter-ravaged hands  

30ml Bubble Bath to transform bath night into spa night 

 A Nail File for tidy tips all season 

2 Bath Fizzers for a fragrant, fizzy soak 

A Shower Steamer to make even a shower feel fancy 

Spiral Hair Bands that don’t pull or crease 

A Sparkle Hair Clip because a little shimmer never hurt anyone 

It’s cute, practical, and universally appealing - the trifecta of gifting success!

 

Available at Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada, Real Canadian Superstore and I've also seen it at Loblaws. 

 

Alternatively, check out the Hand Cream Collection - 5 x 50ml - $15 - because the scents are amazing and let's face it, everyone has hands (probably at least 2)!

When in doubt… alcohol! 

 

I firmly believe you mostly can’t go wrong with alcohol (unless the recipient is under 19, in which case parents tend to get weirdly opinionated). Instead of defaulting to a basic bottle of wine, mix things up with something more fun: 

 

Cowbell Brewing Co. Winter Mixer 2025 - $21.95 6 x 473ml featuring: 

 

Hazy Days Juicy IPA, Absent Landlord Kölsch, Shindig Lager, Cerveza Mexican-Style Lager, West Coast IPA, and Chocolate Raspberry Pudding Cake Stout. 

 

From hop-forward IPAs to a full-on dessert stout inspired by holiday chocolate treats, this pack is perfect for beer lovers who like variety. Standouts include: 

West Coast IPA – crisp, citrusy, piney, and unapologetically bitter (as it should be) 

Chocolate Raspberry Pudding Cake Stout – smooth, decadent, and basically dessert in a can

 

Available at LCBO stores across Canada and online at cowbellbrewing.com. 

 

Socks: the glow-up we didn’t see coming... 

 

Socks used to be the universal “I tried… barely” gift. Not anymore. These days, you can find literally any colour, pattern or personality imaginable! Grab a pair as a stocking stuffer, or go big with: 

 

Good Luck Sock – Sock of the Month Club - 6 months - $80 | 12 months - $160 

 

Truly the gift that keeps on giving. One fun, quirky pair of socks delivered straight to their mailbox every month - with free shipping across North America. It’s practical, fun and makes it seem like you put in way more thought than you actually did!

 

Check it out at goodlucksock.ca. 

 

There you go: thoughtful gifts, minimal effort, maximum appreciation. Now go forth and conquer that last-minute shopping like the festive procrastinator you are!

And if you're looking for something better then a bow to decorate your packages or stuff your stockings with there are lots of Quo Beauty options - everything from tiny eyelash curlers that sparkle, the softest puffs of pink and mini sets of all the best products - a yearly fave of mine...

Quo Beauty Cosmetic Crackers - $20 - 6 gold crackers, each one filled with a gloss surprise!

Happy shopping at your local Shoppers Drug Mart - and if you're buying for me, don't worry, I'm not the least bit picky!

Great Gifting - Trinny London Cyber Weekend Sale and a few of my favourite things!

Get ready to glow this holiday season! Trinny London is bringing you its highly anticipated Cyber Weekend Sale! Enjoy up to 40% off  best-selling beauty and skincare essentials. Whether you’re shopping for glow-boosting makeup, award-winning skincare, or the ultimate joy-inducing gift sets, this is your chance to stock up on must-haves at irresistible prices. 

 

A few things I love that are worth checking out:

Trinny London Take Back Time Miniprotein Eye Treatment - 15ml - $117 (on sale for $105.30) - state-of-the-art eye cream that targets fine lines, crow's feet, dark circles, eye bags, puffiness and tired-looking skin for lifted, open eyes. The star ingredient is the conotoxin miniprotein that helps slow down the signals that lead to the formation of lines around the eyes and the formula also includes: TGF-beta miniprotein to trigger skin's natural regeneration processes; pro-derma hyaluronic acid which penetrated twice as deep as standard hyaluronic acid that offers 24-hour hydration and visibly softens lines in just 7 days; hexapepitide-8 to work against inflammation and improves daily signs of fatigue; and ashwagandha restores skin health on a cellular level for a well-rested look.

All I know is that my dark circles look so much better after using this for the last month! I also really appreciated the little spoon that comes with it so I know exactly how much I am supposed to be using - I always feel with jars of eye cream that I never know if I am under or over using the product!

Trinny London Just Joyous High-Shine Lipstick - $46 (on sale for $41.40) - in 11 shades: Mitra - soft nude brown; Jessica - soft nude pink; Charlotte - light nude pink; Martha - soft rosy nude; Maria - fresh pink; Holly - fresh muted orange; Valerie - coral pink; Poppy - vibrant orange red; Paris - vibrant pink red; Faustine - deep fuchsia pink; Eden - deep berry - that offer buildable colour, intense moisture and glossy sheen. The cruelty-free and vegan formula contains triple-action hyaluronic acid for 24-hour hydration, replenishing peptide for a plumper look over time and moringa and maracuja oils for nourished lips. 

This is my favourite kind of lipstick - because it's buildable the first coat goes on fairly sheer which means I can apply it without a mirror - there is never a mirror around when I need a quick lipstick fix - which gives you the polished without looking like you are wearing a ton of makeup look - my fave for this is Valerie - coral is just one of those universally flattering shades. When I have a mirror and am wanting something more dramatic Poppy is my pick! But you find your own favorite, you really can't go wrong with any of the shades...

Trinny London Non-Negotiables Gift Set - $52 (on sale for $46.80) - a festive cracker containing 2 stackable skincare faves: Be Your Best Enzyme Balm Cleanser - 19.5ml - an oil-based transforming cleanser for clean, nourished skin, suitable for all skin types and Bounce Back Intense Peptide Moisturiser- 14.5ml - for plump, bouncy skin, suitable for normal to dry skin. 

 

The perfect way to gift a friend an introduction to the brand or a way to score travel sizes for yourself!

 

Sales is on now until midnight on Monday 2nd December,No promo code needed - discounts are automatically applied at checkout. Shop the full sale at www.trinnylondon.com/ca.

I already loved the Creamy Jelly Cleanser so scoring a size that I could travel with was great and gave me a chance to try other items from the line and discover the joy of the Gel Cream which is perfect for those of us with combination skin!
