Letters To Santa: What The VITA Team Wants For Christmas

Ever wonder what’s on our wish lists, when it comes to holiday gifting and getting? We asked members of the VITA team to submit their Letters to Santa–here’s what contributing writer Bronwyn Lewis wants for Christmas!

Paragon Tea Room Ceremonial Matcha

As bright green as the Grinch, Paragon Tea Room’s Ceremonial Matcha is sold solo or in a helpful Matcha Kit that includes everything you need to make matcha at home including the all important whisk. Mix up a matcha on a dark winter’s morning.

Bottle of Talisker Storm Single Malt Scotch Whisky

For a wee dram of something special to spread Christmas cheer, try a smoky and salty single malt scotch whisky like Talisker Storm. With notes of stone fruit and buttered crackers, it makes for a great holiday season sip, plus the notes of sea salt and smoke will have you feeling like you’re storm watching, fireside.

A Dry Aged Steak from Luigi & Sons

This butcher shop is not only beautiful, but also has the best beef in Vancouver. The dry-aged program at Luigi & Sons has been carefully fine-tuned by the same team behind the beef at Elisa Steak. A bone-in rib eye by Macleod’s Leap or PEI Blue Dot would be perfectly indulgent.

The Royal Tartan La Femme Dress with matching Dolly Puffer by Selkie

An absolute dream dress for celebrating Christmas in style, the La Femme Dress by Selkie is romantic, demure, with kick pleats that add volume to the double-layered skirt. With the matching Dolly Puffer, also in festive red tartan, you’ll be ready for a walk in a winter wonderland.

Bottle of Bubbly from Unsworth Vineyards

Because you can’t ring in the new year without a glass of champs, nor can you toast to Christmas Day without a morning mimosa. Unsworth Vineyards, which is based in Mill Bay on Vancouver Island, makes a beautiful bottle called Charme De L’Île that blends Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and other cool climate varieties.
