With retail options a-plenty this time of year, how do you choose where to do the bulk of your holiday shopping? For us, the decision comes down to a few factors: convenience, of course, is key, as are a wide selection (i.e., the classic "one-stop shop") and—always nice—a local spin. And who better fits this bill than London Drugs?
It’s a Canadian, family-owned company staffed by friendly employees who go above and beyond for their customers (even on the busiest shopping days of the year!). LD offers an incredible price-matching policy and hassle-free returns, plus an amazing loyalty program that lets you earn shopping rewards, fast. Best of all, we always find gifts for everyone on our list at London Drugs, thanks to a surprising selection of items, from beauty products to electronics to kitchen gadgets, Christmas chocolates and toys for the kids.
And so, without further adieu, some of our top gift picks this year, all available at your local London Drugs! —Noa Nichol
from the beauty counter. Lipstick lovers will go ga-ga for this 24-piece festive NYX Professional Makeup Lippie Countdown Kiss and Tell Advent Calendar ($65). It includes multiple lipsticks, lip creams and lip glosses from the beauty brand, in bright, bold colours, behind every door. Let the countdown begin!
from the toy aisle. With a new Star Wars movie on the horizon, this Star Wars Resistance X-Wing set from Lego ($80) is a sure hit with kids ages eight and up (heck, some "grown-up kids" we know would love this, too!). It includes a plethora of figurines, accessories and even flame elements for a make-believe blaze!
from the photolab. Everyone knows you can print a photo on a mug, but did you know that you can also get your special photos printed on a coffee carafe, a keychain or a fluffy pillow? These days, you can print a photo on just about anything! Ask your friendly, neighbourhood LD PhotoLab Expert about other ideas for photo gifts.
from the tech department. This Philips Wake-up Light ($140) makes a great gift for early risers (or those who need a little help getting out of bed in the morning). Inspired by nature’s sunrise, it uses a unique combination of light therapy and sound to wake you in a more natural way, with colour that changes from soft dawn reds through warm orange to bright yellow light and a choice of five different natural wake up sounds.
from the kitchen section. Forget that this KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Stand Mixer ($350), with flat beater, dough hook and wire whip attachments, will help the home cook on your list make bread, whip potatoes and mix stuffing this holiday season (and throughout the year), the fact that it comes in 22 colours to match virtually any kitchen makes it, in our opinion, the perfect foodie gift.
