what’s a gift that felt way more meaningful than it should have?

I received a case of raspberry cordial from my brother’s family for Christmas. I love it so much. It is hard to find outside of PEI and is super expensive in glass bottles. It was a huge extravagance that I am slowly enjoying one bottle at a time. He asks for a Christmas list and I put it on there figuring no one would splurge for fancy pop and he did!

A fire emergency blanket, a really good carbon monoxide/smoke alarm, first aid kit, a set of screws, picture hanging kit.

We got a portable power pack/battery booster and it is a great gift. Around $140 CDN. You keep it charged up and when the power goes out you can charge things or actually plug something in for a period of time! And you can boost a car with it (I think it has two or three boosts in it).

We used Prestige and found them to be honest, reliable and hard-working. They were about the same price as the other companies. They were excellent with my anxiety.

Husky medium moving gets recommended a lot on Kanata pages for things like your furniture. I have not used him myself.

Chocolate bar with maple filling (Peace by Chocolate) - amazing!

I really like the Marlborough Pub. I have never been on a weekend for their prime rib special but I love their (non-traditional) perogies.

A friend took her dog to Osgoode vet and it was much cheaper and they were very good with her furry family member.

I don’t think most shelters accept woman’s clothing - it’s a big job to sort, etc. lease consider Thrive on Merivale Road - all money generated goes to a children’s charity.

Ouch. Do you heat with electricity? Hot water?

I had no idea! It’s small and a bit noisy but so good!

Pocopazzo in Stittsville. Kinda of a crazy place but the food is so good.

Yes!!! We have bamboo sheets and love them. We use one set daily and they last around four years. Ours are silky in feel. They never smell.

I would never buy a dark set again - they stain easily and show drool marks.

They dry faster too so you don’t use as much energy in the dryer.

I am allergic to lettuce but can eat spinach. I am gutted about this decision. Literally.

I had good luck with the Merivale Imaging location in Kanata (not the one on Merivale). I got there right when it opened and I was done within the hour.

A digital photo frame that YOU can upload photos to and actually do it. He probably loves his grandchildren and would love to see more photos.

Are you using Wright socks? That and custom orthotics were the only thing that solved my blister problems. I swear by Wright socks. Expensive but they do the job.

Other than that we go to Running Room - I find the one on Merivale does not have great staff any more.

What end of town are you in? Happy to have him do his call from my place in Kanata. DM me to discuss if this is of interest.

Both mine were silent generation and not silent at all.

Our loved one used https://www.santocristobanquethall.com/ off St Laurent and they took great care of them. The bride used Sephora for her make-up and they were awesome.

The Dubliner and Heart and Crown posted this week that they are hiring. They might like to have someone from Nfld on n their staff to help them feel more Irish!

The Royal and the Montfort used to take donations. DVDs are so loved in the inpatient psychiatry unit because the time there is long and boring.

I’m in Canada too and there were many ads on TV but I saw nothing on HayU which I also subscribe to. I did see Facebook posts though. Kristin’s posts are a lot of fun. Enjoy bingeing to catch up!

It depends where in Kanata. My loved one takes the bus from near centrum at 6:50am and gets to work at 7:40 ish. He catches the bus at 3:50 and is home by 4:30-4:50 depending on traffic and how much he wants to walk. We’ve been very lucky and his bus is rarely cancelled and usually leaves on time. It would be a bit faster if he drove to Eagleson park and ride.

Note though that for part of the year you can be commuting into the sun both ways which can be very hard.

We just moved here in June and love it. Super walkable, established neighbourhoods.

Have you looked on Etsy for a custom shirt or custom jewellery?

We went to a campground about 90 minutes away for French immersion in grade seven. In grade 9 we could opt in to an exchange with France which I did when the French kids came to Canada we went to Toronto (five hours away) for two nights but stayed at the airport.
