Santa came to town on the weekend and it was a kind reminder that I need to get started on preparing for Christmas. I stopped by
Chapters Indigo store last week looking for a book and I quickly got lost in the Christmas gift sections.

Seriously Cute! |
I love this time of the year; the displays, the colours, the lights, and oh the sparkles.
This year the owl is making his wise mark in the retail design landscape. This little cutie above can be found in the baby gift section. The hat is actually a newborn hat, but I couldn't see myself buying this wise young bird without the knit chapeau.
I'm not sure if it was the mood I was in or the early and very full displays of great gift idea's, but I left Chapters inspired about Christmas shopping. My apologies to the Chapters team - the images are taken with my iPhone and random re-arranging of items was my doing.
Hope that this inspires some idea's to make your shopping easier, here are a few of my finds .....
Knit pillows make snuggling up on a cold night so much better. Silver penguin cocktail shaker adds fun at your home bar. Candles ..... so many great colours and fragrances. Silver flask engraved
'Candy is Dandy. Liquor is quicker'.

Lined canvas bread bowl. |
 |
Cable knit tea cozy. |
 |
Reusable glass decanter comes with Belgian Hot Chocolate. Add a little owl mug. |
 |
Pillar candles a'la faux birch wood look and an amber glass owl candle holder. |
 |
In the Baby boutique these colourful and cuddly pals are waiting to go home with you. Great to sit in the branches of your Christmas tree or peek out of the top of a stocking. |
 |
With a book title like that it's hard to pass up. |
 |
I love over-scale coffee table books. Chapters has great variety for everyone on your list. |
 |
Tall confetti sprinkled champagne glasses. | |
|
 |
Cookies, chocolates and holiday candy come in great packaging that only requires a tag. |
 |
I've gifted these leather journals many times - for guys or girls, they are classic. | image via Chapters web site. |
 |
Perfect for the wine lover and for those who haven't yet discovered wine. Gift it with the teak cheese boards and knives. |
 |
THE book on my list. I borrowed the book from our library to read to my Granddaughter, but it really is something that every little girl {or big girl} should have on her shelf. This one is for my littlest Angel. |
 |
And just in case the holiday season all becomes too much ............. the message is clear on this journal. |
I'm the kind of shopper who likes to see and touch the product before I buy it, but this season I plan to do a bit more shopping online. I like that Chapters has great books {always a great gift} and gift items for everyone.
** note: Chapters did not endorse this blog ......... I just love their store !
Happy Shopping!
