Yes, Christmas is nine days away, so yes, it might be a little late to get your hands on some of these goods in time for the big day€”but what about those cousins that you won’t see till the new year? Or your niece’s annoyingly early birthday that always sneaks up on you? And what about that impersonal but awesome envelope of cash you got? Whether you’re treating yourself or someone else, check out what these local ladies have in store (and online)€” this gift guide is true north, strong and female.

Gus Sloan’s Original Little Black Jumpsuit

Office outfit, holiday party, impromptu gymnastics performance€”is there any problem a little black jumpsuit can’t solve? (Okay, maybe going to the bathroom is a bit of a production, but we’d argue it’s worth it.) Designed and made-to-order by Edmontonian Lauren Dary, these jumpsuits are a great example of something that you probably won’t get in time for Christmas but should definitely order anyway. Time is a human construct, don’t let it control you.

Unlike other drink blends, a little bit of Blume goes a long way€”you only need a teaspoon of the pinkish powder to make a cup of tea. It’s also available at lots of stores in Vancouver, so you can snag it in time for Christmas; check out their stockists here.

The Evalina Beauty Collection

Full disclosure: Evalina Beauty is our publisher’s passion project. But we wouldn’t be adding the makeup collection to our list here unless we were really legitimately wishing to find the shimmery BB tinted moisturizer and stays-for-days liquid eyeliner in our stockings this year.
