First day of 10th Annual Seasons Christmas Show is over. I spent all day there and it was really amazing. So many vendors, experts and special guests, more than 300 holiday décor, fashion, food and gift exhibitors covering over 100,000 square feet.
Where to start?
First of all, inimitable Lynn Spence, style and design expert on Citytv’s Cityline, Around the House and Fashion Friday.
She shared some secrets on how to make your house look cosy and fashionable at the same time, what is trendy this season and the most flattering looks of the season for every woman. Unique house decoration things, clothes, jewellery, and accessories were demonstrated.
It was a very enjoyable time, full of laughter and humour and a lot of prizes were released 🙂
So what is the latest fashion trends of Christmas 2015? Lynn Spence said it’s owls and white colour. And actually there are a lot of owls in the show:
All these wonderful owls were presented by Indulgences Gifts and Decor. And not only owls – you could find deer, candles, wooden trees and a lot more.
What else caught my eye? Of course sweets. Purdy’s Chocolates offers everybody to try their chocolate made using only the finest ingredients from around the world including chocolate from Belgium, ginger from Australia, cashews from India, and dairy products delivered fresh daily from farms across Western Canada.
Peter Blanchet, Purdys Chocolatier’s ‘Master Chocolate Connoisseur’ told visitors a lot of interesting facts about producing chocolate
I tried salty caramel chocolate – delicious…
Gingerbread House Decorating Kit presented by SUGAR ‘N SPICE impressed me a lot. It includes pre-built house, pre-made icing with a decorating tip, lots of candy and a carry home box. It’s not only tasty but a lot of fun to decorate for the entire family from age 1 to 111. Or there are pre-decorated Gingerbread Houses that look magnificent.
Chocolate Clare. Love it. Great idea for personalized unique gifts. They have chocolate for all occasions in your life – weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and more. They can brand chocolate bars, personalize them and make it your own. Lollipops, pennies, chocolate boxes and bonbons designed to reflect your personal taste and dreams.
If you you are gluten intolerant – no worries. 360 Chocolates has what you need. They have so many types of chocolate, made with pure organic dark chocolate that is grown and harvested on farms that meet the strict standards for social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Dark chocolate has numerous proven health benefits and 360 Chocolates were designed not only for a fun and gourmet tasting, nutrition infused snack but for the heath benefits dark chocolate offers. They claim that you can eat chocolate to lose weight, gain energy and reduce pain. It’s definitely for me… 🙂
And of course small but such an important member of our families – pets – were not forgotten. I could not believe my eyes when I found this. The Edible Doghouse is a home bakery based in Toronto that creates unique gift boxes for pets that are totally edible – both the gift box as well as the treats inside. And wrapping paper… Unbelievable and amazing. I think every dog owner will be happy to get these treats for their furry friends.
You could find and pick a lot of gifts that you could proudly bring to your friends, relatives, co-workers etc and be sure that it will be unique and amazing. It’s not possible to describe all of them, so here’s what I would be happy to have for myself.
Jewellery for kids: with Mimosura in Oakville you can choose from collections of adorable and hypo-allergenic children’s safety earrings, bracelets, pendants and necklaces and be absolutely sure that your princess has not only beautiful looking but the safest earrings. Do not want youngster’s ears pierced? Temporary earring tattoos are for you. Gift ideas under 10$? No problem!
Ideas with using LED lights gain big popularity nowadays. I love the absolutely magic handmade home decor products from Global Exports Ontario. LED paintings that flicker in the dark, giving the paintings a realistic and calming effect. Flower arrangements that also contain LEDs within each flower bulb, giving the arrangement a soothing glow in dark rooms. They make any room look calm and relaxing.
Basketality: Non-food baskets with personality. These delightful baskets are perfect for all occasions for that special person in your life. And no calories at all as these are towel and diaper cakes. ! 🙂
A lot of Christmas decor elements from Rouge Decor. They truly believe that a lot of attention should be focused on the place you live in. Do you want to turn your house into Sweet Home? Use small decorative things that reflect your personality and keep your memories.
You still have to check everything yourself – maybe you will find something that I missed. Show will be held at International Centre, Hall 5 (Arrow Hall), November 21 to 23, 2014.
