Originally posted in The LOOK

When it comes to holiday shopping, I'm here to help. With the dozens of gifts on your to-get list this year, the last thing you need is one more thing to do. And so, I've done a little legwork for you and surveyed some of the men in my life - from my husband to bachelor friends to my 9 year-old nephew, to find out what guys REALLY want this Christmas.

Whether he's an avid athlete, a world traveller, or just likes to get his game on, check out my 2013 Men's Gift Guide, with ideas for every guy on your list. Good luck out there, ladies. Oh, and be sure to check back for the Girls' Guide.

Song of Style & eLUXE Do Epic Chic

Aimee Song, the over-achieving bloggess behind popular style blog, Song of Style.

Looking at blogger Aimee Song's social media stats is enough to make anyone feel like an underachiever. At only 25, the interior designer and style influencer has amassed over a million Instagram followers and gets 3.7 million monthly page views. I won't even tell you how many I get but it's only, like, half of that. I was never very good at math.

Canadian etailer, eLUXE, just announced an exciting collab with Aimee and her blog, SongofStyle.com. The collection merges Aimee's unique style with the season's hottest sweatshirt trend resulting in a limited run, six piece capsule collection of luxury tees and sweatshirts.

Aimee worked with the eLUXE team to create a collection that is wearable, sophisticated and on trend. A perfect cut tee and a sweatshirt in a classic crew or raw neck are available in chic dark storm and white, white and black or grey and black combinations, priced from $40 to $90. Mark your calendars - the collection will be available on eLUXE.ca starting Dec 4th.

This happens every single year. You've figured out your big gifts (or at least a few of them - just me?) and feel like you can sit back and actually start to enjoy the peace, the merry, the joy of this wonderful season. Then a few weeks before the big day, it hits you: you still have about 90 gifts to buy. Between teachers, Secret Santas, neighbours, co-workers and random second cousins, it all adds up pretty fast. And forget about budget - it's more about figuring out what on earth to buy people you don't really know all that well.

This year, make a list, check it twice, then get it done. I've rounded up the greatest gifts for under $40, perfect for anyone (and everyone) on your list. And when it all just feels like too much, there's always a comfy chair at Starbucks and a perfect Peppermint Mocha with your name on it. Happy shopping! And seriously, you don't have to get me a thing...

The Season's Must-Have Moto

 

Bright Wool Moto Jacket, $128, GAP

Everyone is going mental over this bright wool moto and for good reason(s):

1) It's wool, not leather, so it's actually affordable.

2) It comes in this amazing shade of pink - THE colour of the season.

3) The Gap Make Merry Sale is on, so it's 35% off if you buy it by tonight. No pressure.

You've been doing a lot of shopping for everyone else these days. Time to give yourself a little pat on the back. Or in this case, an AMAZING new jacket on your back. Am I right?
