If you’re looking for some holiday gift inspiration either for your favourite sister, aunt, mom or YOURSELF, you’ve come to the right place.\u00a0I’ve teamed up with four other bloggers: Lisa from\u00a0Fab Frugal Mama<\/a><\/strong>, Christine from\u00a0Life on Manitoulin<\/a><\/strong>, Amanda from\u00a0Multi-Testing Mommy<\/a><\/strong>, and Meri from\u00a0Lil-Sugar<\/a><\/strong>, to provide you our top picks for the holidays. These are the brands and products that we’ve each tried and loved and would refer to any of our friends. Not to mention, one lucky winner will win all of the products that we’re posting about (total AVR is $640). In fact, we devoted this entire post to gifts that are perfect for the busy mom, because we all know that moms deserve to be spoiled and pampered every once in a while!<\/p>\n

TOMS Bags<\/h3>\n

Most of us are familiar with TOMS shoes where for every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS will donate a pair to children in need. My favourite of all of TOMS giving initiatives is through\u00a0their bag collection.\u00a0For every bag you purchase, TOMS<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>will help provide a safe birth for a mother and baby in need. As a mom to three kids, I know how fortunate I am to have given birth in Canada surrounded by the best facilities, health care professionals and hospitals. Through TOMS newest initiative, funds will be used to help provide safe births in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Haiti and India. This work will be done by a network of TOMS Giving Partners involved in maternal and child health programs, who will help provide training for skilled birth attendants, along with providing a safe birth kit that includes vital materials like soap, gloves, gauze, a cord clamp, surgical blade and a clean surface\u00a0to help a woman safely give birth.<\/p>\n

I’ve been lovingly carrying my TOMS weekender bag with me since I got it last spring. It’s officially taken over as my diaper bag (aka purse and everything else). As a busy mom it’s the perfect size to hold my wallet, diapers, wipes, tissue box, snacks and more. It also helps that I love the design and most importantly, I know I’m making a difference by wearing it. \u00a0TOMS bags make a great gift for any person on your list as it’s both a tangible gift and also a way to give back. When you purchase a TOMS bag, or any other TOMS products, you’re making a real difference to someone’s life.<\/p>\n

Tiny Devotions<\/h3>\n

You don’t need to be a yogi to fall in love with the beautiful, hand-crafted jewelry from Tiny Devotions. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful necklaces and bracelets. Tiny Devotions’s journey began when its founder made Mala Beads while living in Bali. She soon realized that her passion can be turned into a venture when Lululemon came knocking at her door. For those of you who don’t know (I didn’t), Mala beads are mysterious and magical necklaces or meditation garlands that have been worn for thousands of years by yogis and spiritual seekers from all over the world. \u00a0The company has since grown and now includes bracelets, candles bags, socks and scarfs. \u00a0Personally, I would love to receive a Mala Bead this holiday season (hint, hint beloved hubby).<\/p>\n

A more budget-friendly alternative is the beautiful scarfs which retail for $54. I love their soft texture (made from 100% Polyester), the way they look, and their versatility. You can wear these scarves in the winter or when you’re sitting on the beach. Mine reminds me of my summers spent in Israel and my four month backpacking adventure through Europe. There are many different styles to choose from including the Paia scarf<\/a><\/strong>. The Paia Scarf is perfect for the bohemian in all of us that just wants to roam barefoot and bike between beach and home. She\u2019s laid back, free and full of life and laughter.<\/p>\n
