For all the partners that are most likely reading this - I’ll let you in on a little secret this holiday season - are you ready? Here it is, the guy or gal in your life does not want a ready to purchase off the shelf ‘spa/perfume lotion kit’ from Walmart or otherwise. You know the ones I’m talking about - with the 4 packaged products in the clear plastic paired with glitter, outdated fragrance, and a nail file - yeah those ones. I hate to break it to you but we don’t want them!

I get it, gift buying can be daunting and some of us feel as tho it’s impossible to find the ‘perfect’ gift for others.

I’ve been there before, as much a I love giving gifts I often let my anxiety run wild and rob the common sense from me while buying gifts.

To help you keep on track, with some gifts I am pretty darn sure your partner would LOVE, I put together a gift guide for the mamas with some of my absolute favourite items from brands that I genuinely admire and support.

Let’s get right in to it - 19 days an counting until the big man in red makes his appearance!🎅🏻

Mama Holiday Must Haves:

1.our place

Our place carries elevated kitchen essentials with a gorgeous aesthetic and outstanding quality/performance.

The Our Place infamous Always Pan is available in 6 colours to match your home vibe. The Always Pan is a fan favourite in our home because it replaces the work of 8, yes EIGHT kitchen items.

The word non-stick isn’t tossed around lightly at Our Place - the Always Pan is truly the best non-stick pan my partner and I have ever cooked with!
No more caked on dried food and harmful chemicals that are often found in other non-stick pans!

As mentioned on the Our Place website the pan replaces the work of your: fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick span, spatula, & spoon rest!

What’s even more amazing is you can grab yourself some dinnerware to match with gorgeous plates, bowls, and cups!

Currently, Our Place is having a package deal to receive a 4 piece set of plates, bowls, cups, AND an Always Pan for $250 US in colours of your choosing! (Run don’t walk!)

I should mention the Always Pan is on back order until February 2021 but the dinnerware is currently stocked!
In my opinion it is totally worth the wait!

2. Blanqi

I’m almost certain you’ve heard of Blanqi for their cult favourite maternity leggings. In the off chance you haven’t heard of them - Blanqi is a women’s supportwear clothing line with specialized fabrics and designs to support mamas through pregnancy, to postpartum, to everyday motherhood!

I am not exaggerating when I say, I wore the Blanqi Everyday Maternity Belly Support Leggings every. single. day when I was pregnant with Mila and for 3 months while I was postpartum and healing! It is 100% worth it for both the usage and support you will gain from their clothing.

Now that I am a postpartum mama - I still find many usages from my Blanqi items. My core weakend a lot after having Mila (like if does for almost anyone that homes a baby for 9 months), and having the supportive hold of the Everyday Belly Support Girlshorts and SportSupport leggings have been wildly helpful!

Plus: most of my days as a mother are spent madly running around with nursing sessions in between to which leggings are a supportive nursing bra are absolutely necessary.

Oh and yes the material is all it’s cracked up to be. The fabric is made of thick and flexible knit to move with you while still staying put where you need it too!

They’ve just welcomed their Blanqi Body Cooling Nursing Bra that’s amazing for pregnancy and nursing! The seamless support WITHOUT underwire is my favourite part of this item. My ribs expanded when I had Mila and underwire no longer feels comfortable to me - so I much appreciate this supportive alternative!

Blanqi is pretty much just perfect for any and all stages of motherhood that your partner is at and will be appreciated during each as well!

3. Pokoloko

Pokoloko is one of my most admired fair trade companies for their efforts to reduce carbon emissions, boost sustainability, and produce some seriously amazing products from talented Artisans!


I admire that they take efforts to plant TWO trees for every purchase to offset CO2 emissions from manufacturing materials.

So many reasons why I love Pokoloko but one of the best is the quality of their items!
There aren’t enough words for how soft the Turkish and Bamboo fibres in their towels and blankets feel to the skin - my cozy level is always maxed out to 100 when I’m snuggled up in my Lined Diamond Blanket or lounging with Mila in our matching Bamboo Towel/Robe set!

There is literally everything that most mamas dream of in this shop! Throw pillows, blankets, towels, scarves, cardigans, dresses, toques, and more! And I promise you - they will be well loved!

4. loloi rugs

It is said a rug has the power to transform any space - to renew life in to it and unify your interior style.

Loloi is an outstanding company that collaborates with Artisans in India who HAND weave intricate and magnificent rugs.

My love for Loloi began when I learned of their partnership with GoodWeave - a non-profit that ensures safe working conditions free of child labor/forced labor by ensuring conditions are checked.

We found a home for a beautiful ivory/terracotta piece from their Rosette Collection in our master bedroom the warm earthy tones really that are pulled from the rug completed our space and gave it the welcoming cozy feel we were hoping for.

I would (and probably will) fill my home with Loloi rugs - each one I come across is more stunning than the other!

Check out their current collaborators in their collections.

I hope you enjoyed this mini guide of gifts your partner would enjoy and most importantly gain use of this holiday season!
