Vitamin Daily

Left it to the last minute? Tommy Smythe, Sarah Richardson's fabulously stylish sidekick, is here with a sack full of gift ideas that'll make you more popular than Santa:

One-size-fits all: gifts that everyone wants/needs


The Flip Video Camcorder. It’s great for everyone, whether they’re three or 83.

On a budget

Vintage magazines from eBay. Issues of Gourmet and House and Garden are my favourites. Gift them individually or wrap them around a bottle of wine (with a ribbon) as a unique hostess gift.


Money no object


Cartier Tank watch. It’s a timeless classic (the vintage versions are better quality than the new ones).


Feeling crafty – some quick homespun favourites


Food only! Everyone can use it and it won't end up in a garage sale.


Feeling charitable – The gift that keeps on giving


Around the holidays I look to give to charities that provide food and shelter. Go local too; these are the people you pass on the street every day. Charity begins at home.
 


Merry Christmas!
