Help Your Friends and Family to Give the Gift of Education This Christmas with #HeritageeGifting

December 7, 2015 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Each year around this time two things happen. The first thing is my mother-in-law gives me money towards my two daughters' RESPs. The second is my girls receive a pile of Christmas gifts from various relatives near and far. Since most of these people only see my children at Christmas and holidays they, for the most part, have no clue what my daughters like, or what they already … [Read more...]

Last Minute Gift, Think Netflix?!? #StreamTeam

December 24, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I am all about the last minute gifts. While I keep a well stocked gift trunk there is always someone I forget about, or someone I don't realize we'll be seeing or exchanging with until that right down to the wire last minute. So every year on here I've highlighted some of my last minute gifts of choice, and this year my suggestion is... Netflix giftcards! I guess they … [Read more...]

Stumped for Mother’s Day? Think Home Depot Canada

May 6, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My mom likes practical gifts. She's always been the mom that was genuinely happy to get a new frying pan, she's never been the type to want jewelry or flowers. In typical mom fashion she's always gracious and happy with whatever gifts we give her, but the truth is she can be a bit hard to shop for at times because there's just not that much she wants or needs. My mom is the … [Read more...]

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift For Grandma?

May 7, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I have figured out the perfect mother's day gift for one of the grandmothers in our life. It's something unique that she would never think to buy herself. It's a gift that she can enjoy with the grandkids. But it's also a gift that she can enjoy on their own. A gift that lasts all year long. Any guesses? How about a year's subscription to Netflix Canada?I know my mom … [Read more...]
