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!
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!

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. Meals to be prepared in large quantities are no match for the 5.5 qt. capacity stand mixer.
