Holiday Gift Guide

In place of traditional holiday gift guides, that feature multiple products by multiple brands, I’m doing something a little different. I’ll be rounding up my favourite presents for the season, but each day I’ll be showcasing a different company. Make sure to check back daily as I’ll have a new brand with my must-have holiday gifts for the season.

With only 12 days left until Christmas eve, now’s the time to pick up a Saje Advent Calendar. If you’re anything like me, you love a good advent calendar on the first day of December. That being said, the anticipation of what’s behind each day usually gets the best of me. I tend to fold and open up all the doors at once. As much as I love the chocolate ones, I can never manage to wait the entire 24 days before opening them all. The doors are usually always opened and the chocolates are pretty much devoured by day 3.

Treat your loved ones, or let’s be honest, yourself, to 12 days of pampering and wellness with the Saje Advent Calendar. It contains 12 uplifting, intriguing and festive gifts within. The box is filled with miniature-sized versions of their best-selling and must-have products of the season. Hidden behind individual compartments you’ll find tiny treats just waiting to be revealed and enjoyed on that specific day.

Saje Advent Calendar comes with a mini Liquid Sunshine Diffuser Blend, Peppermint Twist Diffuser Blend, Tingle Mint Lip Balm, Yoga Perfume, Healing Hands Lotion, Immune Remedy, Eater’s Digest Remedy, Pain Release Remedy, Peppermint Halo, Peppermint Halo Wand, Ceramic Diffuser and relax-O-ring. It retails for $89.95.

Liquid Sunshine Diffuser Blend is one of my favourites. This citrus- fueled scent is bursting with revitalizing and energizing freshness. It helps to instantly bring a little happiness to your day after a busy and stressful afternoon of shopping. It can also uplift your spirits in the dead of winter. We could all use a little sunshine during those long, cold, dreary winter months.

Peppermint Twist Diffuser Blend is another favourite. Its peppermint and orange aroma instantly invigorates the senses and gives you the feeling of walking on a fresh bed of white snow. It’s a winter wonderland in a bottle. If nothing else, it’s the perfect holiday scent, as it adds a touch of sweet joy to the air.

Busy and crowded malls no doubt leave you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and anxious. If you’re anything like me, this will leave you with a nasty headache. Peppermint Halo Wand is something I always have in my purse. This girl is prone to headaches and migraines 365 days of the year. It’s designed to help relieve headache pain with its unique blend of therapeutic essential oils. It features peppermint, camphorous eucalyptus and soothing lavender. It can be used when you first feel a headache coming on, by pressing the pen-like rollerball applicator onto your scalp in little dots along your natural hair line. Since peppermint is known to be quite calming and almost numbing, it helps to ease the pain associated with headaches and migraines. It has a slight warming, yet cooling sensation that helps to reduce pain and pounding, while relieving tension

Peppermint Halo is much like the wand in the sense is helps relieve headaches. It too can be applied to the hair line, but also the back of the neck and shoulders. It provides a slightly cooling and relaxation effect that helps you to relax and unwind.

I don’t get sick often, so I have yet to try the Immune Remedy. Basically is designed and created to fend off colds and the flu. It features eucalyptus, cinnamon and tea tree to help soothe and calm a sore throat or cough. Apply a few drops to chest and throat as needed.

Eater’s Digest Remedy is perfect when you indulge in one too many holiday sweets or consume too much turkey and stuffing. Eyes bigger than your stomach, no problem applying directly to your stomach and gently massaging in. It features fennel, chamomile and peppermint to help soothe tummy discomfort and support healthy digestion.

Carried one too many shopping bags around the mall,  apply a few drops of Pain Release Remedy to a carrier oil (like coconut oil), and massage into sore muscles. Its unique blend of relieving rosemary and chamomile help to soothe and ease discomfort.

Don’t actually own a diffuser, no problem, the calendar comes with a mini ceramic tree ornament diffuser. Although tiny, it helps to infuse your home with healing essential oils for cleaner air. Overtime it will actually help to reduce dust and other common allergens so you can breathe better.

Keep lips kissably soft and ready for the mistletoe with Tingle Mint Lip Balm. This rich and creamy, invigorating balm keeps lips hydrated and moisturized throughout the entire day and well into the evening. It offers a slightly cooling, incredible fresh feeling that stimulates your senses.

Yoga Perfume is an earthy, citrusy and slightly florally scent. It features patchouli and bergamot for an uplifting, relaxing, peaceful aroma. It helps to calm stress and relax the mind. Although not typically my scent, I can see this being quite enjoyable during a stressful holiday season.

Also, in the Saje Advent Calendar, Healing Hands Lotion to help soothe and protect the skin. A relax-O-ring that features the benefits of reflexology for health, wellness and happiness.
