The holidays are a busy season to begin with - pair that with a million things on the to-do list, work to wrap up, finals to submit, and a never-ending list of people to shop for - of course, there’s going to be a gift or two that slip your mind until the last minute.
Here for all your gift-giving needs, from what to gift your plant dad to your friend who has everything, the Last-Minute Hues Holiday Gift Guide.
For your Workaholic Friend
We all have that someone in our lives who cannot catch a break. Whether they’re juggling three jobs, piled up with school work, or all of the above, this friend needs an escape from the stress with a simple pleasure. Toronto-based home fragrance brand VIGYL embodies the minimalistic delight of scent with an end-of-day ritual of self-devotion that starts with the strike of a match.

For the Cooler than You Cousin
There’s always that one cousin or family member at the holiday party who simultaneously inspires and intimidates you because they probably (do) have better taste than you and just have an effortless and mysterious vibe about them. Be the first family member to impress them with a bespoke piece from Girlfriend’s Girlfriend, a Toronto-based brand that explores shape and design through a sui generis approach to jewellery.

For the Secret Santa Coworker
What’s trickier than finding a gift for someone you may not know that well and on a budget? Treat your coworker to an inexpensive, personal, and creative gift of their own making with a disposable camera and a gift card to your favourite place to get film developed. Pick up a disposable camera and gift card at your local photography spot.
For the Friend that has Everything
The newest issue of Hues is here just in time for the holidays, meaning this hard-to-shop-for friend definitely won’t already have this on their shelves. Hues is the perfect companion for curling up on the couch with a warm beverage for some creative inspiration this winter.
