Hillcrest Mall

So you’ve left your holiday shopping to the last minute—no sweat! We’ve rounded up easy, eleventh-hour gift ideas—tech picks, comfy must-haves and foodie favourites included—that are as cool as they are considered.

Count on faithful beauty products to save the tardy gift-giver! Spend on a serum or face mask they’ve always wanted to try, or look for a limited-edition gift set that allows them to test out a brand’s entire range—that’s the beauty of minis.

Trendy gadgets, like headphones, smartwatches or a souped-up portable speaker, are gift-giving no-brainers. When in doubt, the latest cell phone launch is a sure-fire way to put a smile on their face come the holidays.

Comforting essentials. Think: a mood-setting candle, super-plush robe and a pair of cold feet-reversing slippers. Better yet, bundle these picks together and deliver them all the makings of a spa experience at home.

Short on shopping time? A good bet is that handbag they’ve been dreaming about. Or, if they’re an avid traveller, a sleek piece of luggage or a weekender duffle will keep up with that always-on-the-go lifestyle.

Seasoned home chef, devoted foodie or otherwise, an epicurean-inspired gift always earns a warm reception. Pick up a tea blend or box of chocolates as stocking stuffers, or go gastronomic with kitchen essentials, like specialty olive oil or spices.

Looking for a perfect gift for everyone on your list? Purchase a Hillcrest Mall gift card! Choose from a classic Gift Card, eGift Card (which you can personalize with a warm-hearted message for the holidays) or Corporate Gifting to thank employees or co-workers.
