oil well. From olives handpicked in Tunisia, Oleiva Traditional EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) just launched in Canada.

bright idea. This gold porcelain checked Scacco candle by Fornasetti ($265 at Blubird) provides a bright artistic touch.
real gem. Chopard‘s Happy Diamonds collection includes pieces—like this Icons pendant in 18-karat yellow gold—that feature the jeweler’s signature moving diamonds design.
gold glow. Accented with flecks of gold glitter, Chanel‘s limited-edition N°5 Fragments D’Or body gel ($90) is silky, shimmering and scented with the same floral notes at the heart of the N°5 bouquet.
bag envy. A fan-fave design from the 1970s, Coach‘s New York High Shine Metallic Dinky ($350) feels refreshed in mirror-shine metallic leather.
christmas beer-acle. Innis & Gunn’s Frank & Sense is the ultimate holiday ale, full of hop and malt character and elevated with the infusion of real gold, frankincense and myrrh.
chocolate full. New this season, Ferrero Rocher released the Grand Ferrero Rocher ($14)—four thoughtfully crafted Ferrero Rocher chocolates, enclosed in a delicious chocolate hazelnut shell, wrapped in gold and beautifully decorated with a final touch, the golden bow.
golden globe. Come Christmas snow globes are a must, and this golden beauty ($21 at Chapters Indigo) puts a joyful spin on the classic winter scene.
the bomb. A natural vegan Buck Naked Soap Co. Gold Rush bath bomb, topped with 22-karat gold leaf and filled with exotic black salt ($7 at Fine Finds Boutique), makes a beautiful gift.
twinkle toes. This pack of Born to Sparkle socks from Lululemon ($38) includes three shimmering styles designed with micro-cushioning in the heel and toe for the ultimate comfort (and joy).
sparkle slipper. Forget the Yellow Brick Road. Walk in gold with these 55-millimetre glitter pumps with black grosgrain bows by Miu Miu ($805 at Holt Renfrew).
tea time. From TWG Tea, this Grand Golden Yin Zhen tea ($1,032 or $126 for a tea service at the Vancouver salon) is plated with 24-karat gold.
tip top. Victoria’s Secret‘s Champagne Nights fantasy bra ($2 million), handset with diamonds, yellow sapphires and blue topaz in 18-karat gold, may beat most Christmas budgets, but it’s nice to dream about! (A more affordable VS option: a glittering bottle of limited-ed Bombshell Nights EDP, $55.)
beauty blade. A collab between Victorinox and Nespresso has yielded the limited-edition Pioneer Nespresso Livanto ($72)—a Swiss Army Knife crafted from 24 recycled coffee capsules.
ring bling. This eye-popping ring in platinum and 18-karat yellow gold with a fancy intense yellow diamond, spessartines and white diamonds (price available upon request) nearly rivals the Tiffany Diamond (currently on display in Vancouver).
eye buy. Sulwhasoo‘s Timetreasure renovating eye serum ($325) comes with a 24-karat gold massager specially designed to awaken youth in the eyes.
candy town. The best things in life really are Sweet & Sparkling, and Sugarfina‘s shimmering candy bento box ($85), filled with eight candies perfect for celebrations of all kinds, proves it.
water works. From S’well‘s Glitter Collection, this Sparkling Champagne bottle ($45) may be meant for other liquids, but we’re thinking it would keep some holiday bubbly nice and cold, too.
top coat. The iconic MA-1 flight jacket from Alpha Industries ($240) gets a golden Tna twist, and can be customized with adjustable patchwork made by Aritzia‘s own in-house designers.
party skirt. The skirt to have this season, by Lewit ($300 at Nordstrom), is ladylike and opulent in an A-line cut with a golden shimmer and released pleats that give it a little extra "flounce" (technical term).
