BRAND NEW [WEDNESDAY]

Stuff It Holiday Gift Guide

December 19, 2007

Remember waking up on Christmas morning and discovering a full stocking at the foot of your bed?  Well the Stocking tradition is still in style.  In fact, we put our heads together and came up with some nifty ideas to make this year’s stocking stuffing even easier.

ChocolaTas - A 4pc or 7pc tin of assorted Belgian chocolates from ChocolaTas, $6.85 and $11.50.  
ChocolaTas Masterpieces collection was created through a juried competition conducted by the faculty of The Emily Carr Institute of Art. ChocolaTas chose ten incredible 1.5” by 1.5’ designs and have “painted” them right on these gorgeous looking (and even better tasting) chocolates.  www.chocolatas.com, 604-504-5957, at Granville Island Market until December 24th.

The Body Shop - Cassis Rose Body Mist, $15 for 100ml.  
This clear body mist feels glorious.  Delicately fragrance and soften the skin at the same time.  Spray on after a bath or shower or throughout the day as desired, has hints of raspberry, blackcurrent, rose, freesia, violet, musk and more.  Pure yummyness.  www.thebodyshop.ca, Pacific Centre, 701 Granville St, 604-687-2744.

Superbad Two-Disc Special Edition DVD, $25.19.  
For the young-at-heart guys on your list, this gross-out comedy is about two co-dependent high school seniors looking for love. As the evening progresses they realize that dealing with their separation due to college is actually harder than getting drunk and getting the girls. www.futureshop.ca, 798 Granville St, (604) 683-2502.

Lands’ End - Women's Cashmere Skinny Scarf, $29.50 each.
A steal for a cashmere scarf!  Give a piece of the world's most sought-after 100% Inner Mongolian cashmere to the one you want to keep warm.  Luxurious and refined, it’s 64” long and  comes in a variety of colours like blackberry, camel heather, clear pink, vista blue, spice brown and rich red of course.  www.landsend.com, Pacific Centre, 701 Granville St, 604-685-7112.

Eat Local -  Chef Select Cheese Tray, $65.
Chef Murray Bancroft says "Eating from our local larder has direct benefits to our economy and the environment ... and it tastes so good.”  So why not give the ones you love his delicious combo pack of local goodies including: Eat Local Dried Fruit Mix, C Crackers, TwinBerry Blueberry Chutney, Moonstruck Organic White Moon Brie Cheese, Salt Spring Island Floral Goat Cheese, and Mix Bakery Savoury Biscotti.  www.eatlocalfood.ca, 1 and 2 business day delivery available.
