Don’t know what to get your boss, friend, or even yourself for the holidays? I am going to share my secrets with you on how I stay organized and enjoy a less hectic holiday season!
Below is my list of favorite apps, gadgets, and gifts that keep me organized and help keep my life simple.
Favorite iPhone & iPad Apps
iPhone Notes, OneNote or Evernote Apps – one place to keep me organized with all my lists and so much more.
Send Out Cards – Quickly send and mail a physical Birthday, Thank You or any other card in seconds. Send a holiday card on me here.
Favorite Gifts
Blueruby Jewelery showcasing jewelery designers from around the world. This is my favorite jewellery store and go to place for gifts.
Home
Bodum Bistro Electric Cordless Water Kettle – Bought mine at David’s Tea at Oakridge Shopping Centre. Finally, a tea kettle I can store in my cupboard and it’s perfect for travelling. Thank you Kim for the great idea!
Spa Mobile – spa treatments in the comfort of your home. A big time-saver! Ask for Amanda.
Flameless Wax Candles from Pottery Barn – battery operated and automatic timer. No more fuss or worries of candle wax dripping and safe to use. My favorite gift to give and my clients love these!
Healthy and Beauty
Bobby Brown tinted eye brighter. Simply the best and goes on smooth!
Laura Mercier compact eye lash curler – Small and compact for traveling.
JJ Virgin’s 6 Weeks to Sleeveless and Sexy – her 4 x 4 workout videos really work.
Fresh “Sugar” tinted lip balm with SPF 15 – Color without the lipstick and gloss.
Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine hair product – It’s so amazing for all kinds of hair. Is unique and hard to define. Gives hair polish and a sort of languid slept-in, sexy look.
Oribe Dry Texturing Spray – invisible dry hair spray that builds incredible volume and texture. It’s the best dry shampoo I’ve ever used and is worth the price! Jennifer Lopez hairstylist designed the Oribe products and she uses the Shine and Body Shampoo.
Travel
Pack-it Custom Travel Bottle Set. Label items with you label maker.
Fashion
The Laundress Cashmere and Wool Sweater Wash – Every November I was all my sweaters on gentle cycle or by hand. Our cashmere and wool sweaters and scarves are fluffy and smell so fresh. No more trips to the dry cleaner! Also available at J. Crew.
Technology
Label Maker Brother PT 2100 or PT 2730 label maker – Can’t live without my label maker! It automatically trims off short labels and uses laminated tapes that are easy to peel off. Do not use less expensive paper tapes as they curl on the edges and don’t peel off clean.
Camtasia software – allows me to record an audio and capture my computer screen for quick “how-to” training videos.
