Capturing the warmth of the Okanagan, Black Sage Vineyard’s 2022 merlot pairs with grilled meats and vegetables, tomato-based pasta dishes, and grain salads. With notes of cherry and plum, and hints of spice and Christmas cake, it is perfect for the holiday season or to ring in the new year.
Sangre de Fruta
Notes of champaca, pink peppercorn, geranium, and black spruce come together in Sangre de Fruta’s 1884 Botanical Mood Mist, a special collaboration with the Spa at Hotel Chelsea in New York. Made in small batches on Bowen Island, the mist can be gently sprayed on hair, body, and linens to bring the spa to wherever you are.
Wildflower Mercantile
Wildflower Mercantile’s soothing bath soak blends all-natural epsom, pink Himalayan, and Dead Sea salt to soothe tired muscles and soften skin. Made in the Comox Valley, the soak comes in two scent profiles: bright sweet orange and vanilla or floral lavender and rose—with organic rose petals picked from founder Emily Yewchuk’s own garden.
Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
This year, Canyon Lights celebrates 20 years of holiday lights tradition with a 3D wildlife projection in the rainforest and a glowing moon and rain-like light illuminating the park’s Cliffwalk Gardens. B.C. residents can enjoy the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park all year round with an annual pass.
Pablo
The award-winning children’s book Pablo, written by Hollywood North veteran Mar Andersons, comes to life with Irvin Walkes’s vibrant illustrations.

L’Appartement

Monos
Made with water-resistant vegan leather in Saddle Tan, Ivory, or Carbon Black, Monos’s passport cover is a practical stocking stuffer for the jet-setter. Lined with colour-matched cotton twill, each passport cover has an open slot for a printed boarding pass, and three card slots for frequent flyer and membership cards without adding extra bulk to your bag or pocket.
