Nothing is more horrifying than that last minute holiday shopping frenzy. You know the one I’m talking about, mall parking lots filled to the T, overheating in the mall with your coat, spending 45 minutes in the checkout line… a real nightmare! This year, I’m avoiding any chance of that by shopping my holiday list online and early—Black Friday early! From Crock-Pot and Yankee Candle to Sony–here are some of my favourite picks, and remember, a gift is a gift even if it’s for yourself!

This is not your mother’s Crock-Pot! The Crock-Pot has had a major upgrade, and this Multimeal Multicooker is a total game-changer. Perfect for busy families juggling evening activities, college kids meal-prepping for the week, or just for yourself (because, hello, soup season!). This jack-of-all-trades appliance lets you cook two recipes at once with different temperatures and methods, and Dual Sync Technology ensures both dishes are ready at the same time. It comes with two non-stick 3.7-quart pots plus an 8-quart pot for bigger meals, and the Oat Milk colour is as stylish as it is versatile—sure to complement any kitchen décor.

Nothing sets the holiday mood quite like crisp winter air and the scent of fresh pine—and now you can bring that feeling indoors. Scent is one of the strongest memory-makers, and this Balsam & Cedar Yankee Candle is the perfect way to create moments worth remembering. With a 40-hour burn time, it sets the backdrop for holiday dinners, movie marathons and lazy couch rots with the family. Each inhale of cedarwood, warm amber and fresh balsam instantly transports you back to your coziest holiday memories. In fact, this one might have to be a gift for yourself, too.

This one isn’t just for the artists on your list—anyone with a marker stash or a stationery drawer will appreciate it. This 25-pack of fine-point Sharpie Permanent Markers is an absolute steal. The vibrant, high-impact colours work on paper, plastic, metal and most other surfaces, so the creative possibilities are endless. The quick-dry, fade-resistant ink means no smudging, whether you’re elevating holiday dinner place cards or adding extra flair to gift tags. A fun, practical and budget-friendly gift they’ll reach for all year long.
