With all the focus on buying gifts for the kids, I find Mom and Dad sometimes get neglected. Here are a few useful, but meaningful gifts to make them feel special this year that goes beyond socks and underwear!
Comfort for Mom and Dad
Blu Sleep Aquagel Pillow This Italian water-based foam gel pillow will have your well-rest head saying ‘grazie’. The Blu Sleep Aquagel Pillow features water-based foam gel and ventilated perforations, making it 300 times more breathable than a standard memory foam pillow. It’s also enriched with mallow extracts which are known for calming and anti-inflammatory properties. My personal experience is that this is the best pillow ever! It is firm, but not too firm and maintains the perfect temperature. MSRP: $199.99 Available from Sleep Country Canada
YETI Tumbler This amazing tumbler is made from durable stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation to protect your hot or cold beverage at all costs. Like the entire Rambler Family, the 591 ml Tumbler and its lid are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning which is always a bonus. It also comes in a wide assortment of colours! S39.99 Available online at YETI.com

Cuisinart Precision Mixer A must-have for the cooking show lover. Cuisinart is changing the way the world mixes! Make a cake or bake the extra batch of cookies for dessert with the Cuisinart Mixer.
