Last Minute Gift Ideas to Shake Up the Holidays


Last Minute Gift Ideas to Shake up the Holidays

The Holidays for some, are a blessing and a curse, the light at the end of the tunnel. After these last few exams you are free to spend time with your family, shamelessly binge Netflix (not like we don’t already) and take some needed time away from those dreadful 8 a.m. classes. With school finally off your mind, you now have some time to get your loved ones some gifts that are will help pave a greener future.


The Ordinary Skincare Products – Who doesn’t like healthy looking skin? The Ordinary offers a wide range of essential products that can be easily added to anyone’s skincare routine. Of my favourite things about The Ordinary – aside from them being 100% cruelty free – is the price. It can be hard gift shopping on a student’s budget, but The Ordinary products tend to be on the lower end for skincare. A great gift that won’t have your special someone contemplating selling textbooks early when it’s time to replenish. You can shop The Ordinary range here: theordinary.com

Aluminum Straws – Within a blink of the eye, the plastic straw seemed to vanish from most major retailers and were replaced by sinister paper straws or nitro lids that have you chugging your frap. If you know someone struggling with these gimmicky “solutions”, then we have the perfect gift idea for you. Aluminum straws will bring back enjoyment to sipping iced coffees or avoiding your lip stick from getting ruined with the turtle’s wellbeing still in mind. Sets start from $5 and can be easily found online. A cheap and easy gift idea that will help reduce single use plastics.

Telfar Tote Bag – One walk down Queen St. west will have you saying, “backpack who?” Tote bags have taken over as the main accessory to hold your precious $200 film studies textbook. Help upgrade that canvas tote to a sustainable, 100% Vegan Leather bag from Telfar. Starting at $140, Telfar bags are all that. It’s chic, it’s eco-friendly, and it will change the way you look at bags. Shop Telfar here: shop.telfar.net


Organic Basics – Everybody needs some basics in their wardrobe. However, going in 2020, those 4 pack Hanes tees don’t cut it anymore. Ranging from $39 - $94, Organic Basics products makes a great gift to anybody, seriously. Many of us don’t think twice about investing in a high quality basic that not only feels good but will make you feel good knowing it’s made from 100% recycled materials and manufactured ethically.
