I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I don’t love Christmas shopping.
Okay, that’s not exactly true. Because there’s almost nothing I love more than finding the perfect gift for someone special in my life. But what I don’t love is the stress and pressure that comes along with Christmas shopping. That terrible feeling when you’ve left a gift to the last minute, you have ZERO idea what you’re going to buy, and you’re faced with hours of walking aimlessly around crowded stores to find something for the person on your list who’s impossible to shop for.
So, you know what I am? I’m the person who’s got 90% of her shopping done by the beginning of December. I kid you not. I keep an eye out for the perfect gifts all year long, so I can have it all done ahead of time. And because I have most of my shopping done already, and because my hands-down favourite place to find my gifts is Kitchen Stuff Plus, I felt it was my duty to share the love!
In the name of duty, here it is my friends: The Can’t-Go-Wrong Gift Guide for Everyone In Your Life!
Your partner
SodaStream Fizzi, $109.99
If you’ve got a partner who loves a little fizz in their water, or one who loves to make the perfect drink for your festive parties the Sodastream is the perfect option. It’s compact, super useful and Kitchen Stuff Plus just happens to have a fabulous canister refill program too!
All you need to do is add water to the bottle, and with the touch of a button, your partner can have sparkling water exactly the way they like it.

A family member or friend

Maybe your fam already has the perfect kettle, or they’re big coffee drinkers instead? You can’t go wrong with these beautiful double-walled glass mugs. They’re big enough to handle your morning shot of caffeine, and the double wall keeps your bevy warm long enough to enjoy every last sip.
