Gift Guide

I want… Alison Lawler-Dean

ALISON LAWLER-DEAN The gift blog guru (givegoodgift.ca) takes a break from posting perfect presents to reflect on her own holiday wish picks.

What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?

My parents sent my sister and me to Paris for my university graduation. I think experiential gifts are the best.

What’s the best gift you’ve ever given?

When my parents turned 65, I made them a family album ($29.80 U.S. plus shipping for a classic hardcover with a linen cover at mypublisher.com). I found old family photos to put in the album and got to customize everything.

What’s on your list this year?

I always love Kiehl’s Crème de Corps. This year, they collaborated with New York graffiti artist KAWS to redesign the bottle ($37.50/250 ml, 407 Queen West, 416-?977-?3558, and others, kiehls.com). A donation to a charity in my name is always a great gift. I work very closely with the Stephen Lewis Foundations (stephenlewisfoundation.org).
