Anna Von Recommends:
For Your Man:
Get him an axe. Oh wait, they’re sold out. Too bad, you snooze you lose. Try the shooting range instead. Target Sports Canada is pretty good. $40 to shoot, then you pay by ammo. You can rack it up faster than you think. $35 for 9mm and it goes from there. Try a glock, or a .44. It’s almost in Markham, this will get you a multiple orgasm, worth slapping down some dough. They sell gift certificates too (you can purchase over the phone and they’ll keep on file for your man).
If your man is a pussy (i.e doesn’t want to touch the icky gun thing or can’t swing an axe or is a hipster) get him this:
Boudoir Photography: Special Holiday Prices available.
Includes: 2 outfits; 1 full and one to undress into, Slide show of the best 25, 3 8×10 prints or one poster 24×36 + 25 low rez photos from the shoot that print find in 4×6. Must arrive with hair and makeup done however she has an assistant to help with makeup touchups. Shoot length is one-hour
This is the most BADASS gift for him ever. And the Photog is female. AND the photos are tasteful and she’ll make you look like a total fox. He’ll worship your ass times 10 for this.

For Your Roommate:
MUJI CARDBOARD COLLAPSING SPEAKERS: $38US From the MoMA Store (which gift wraps AND ships, girl, it’s one-stop shopping at it’s finest).
pssst…they’re selling these at the World’s Biggest Bookstore by the cash this year too.
Best Friend:
Plunk down for a day at Body Blitz. That shit is women’s only and they make tasty teas annnnd, it’s a really good relaxing (and detoxing) way to catch up with your girlfriend whom you haven’t seen in a million. When you’re done, walk 2 blocks to Fresh on Spadina and have lunch. that’s a nice little lady day there if I ever heard of one.
For Your Moms:
The hardest to shop for. Since I know my mom won’t read this, I’ll tell you what I got her. 2 presents because that’s how you gotta do your moms you know? First, a c02 hand held canister from A Cook’s Place at 501 Danforth. They have a waiting list at this point cause it was featured in Toronto Life. It’s $89 there though. They also sell it at William Sanoma, for $110 and they have a few others for your counter that are more expensive there as well.
And tickets to this! Mary Walsh is the Chris Rock of post-50 Canadian white women. If you are even part wasp, get these for your mom. This fund raiser sells out every year by the way, so get a hustle on if you’re thinking of coughing up for it. They are $100 each by the way.
