If you love shopping, you’ll love this next giveaway. Located in Forest Hill, Toronto, Sense of Independence offers shoppers a great selection of fresh labels and fashionable pieces from around the world . No matter what your style, lifestyle or age, there is something for everyone and for every occasion.
The store was founded by Naomi back in 2004. Naomi is a mom to two so she knows about the importance of comfort when it comes to style. Sense of Independence is now co-owned by Naomi and her sister Michelle, both of whom share a passion for fashion and quality. When I was there a few years ago, with Kyle in tow, I loved receiving fashion advice and tips from Naomi and her sister. I told them what I was looking for and the occasion and they gave me several things to try on. It was hard to buy only a “few” items, I wanted it ALL!
To help ease your shopping decisions, Naomi & Michelle have put together a 2013 holiday gift-guide for the fashionista on your list. Some make great stocking stuffers and some are the ultimate wish-list gifts. Details about the items listed in the gift guide can be found below the entry form. 
To help you get a head-start on your holiday shopping, Sense of Independence is giving one lucky Mayahood reader a $100 Gift Card to their store. Enter the giveaway via Rafflecopter below (please give it a few seconds to load). Contest is open to residents of Ontario Canada. Contest ends Sunday December 1, 2013. Good-luck!
