Places to buy gifts....for me.

See All Lists
If there is one thing in the world I love, it is when people buy me gifts. But I've always heard that I'm a difficult person to buy gifts for? I don't even know how that makes sense, I love gifts of all kinds and sizes. But if you do need some help, here is a list of great places to start!

 1. Melange For the Home

Melange for you home is exactly that.  For those of you who didn't pass french class, melange means mixture.  And you can certainly get a mixture of stuff for your home at this relatively new store.

Make no mistake, this place has great decorations…More »

The name of this store says it all: extraordinary.

Easily one of my most favourite stores in all of Calgary.  It is the first store I go to whenever I need to buy a gift for a kid or a friend that acts like one.  

I've never taken a kid to this store,…More »

Don't feel like waiting hours to get into the regularly crammed Apple store in Market Mall?  Me neither.  That's why even though it is a little less shiny, I always make sure I swing by Westworld for all things Mac.  And let's be honest, if you…More »

If I have one addiction in my life it is that I'm addicted to the Alberta Fairmont Hotels.  Whether it is Banff, Jasper or Lake Louise, I love them all for very different reasons.

But this review is about The Banff Springs.

First off, yes The Banff…More »

Exploring Stephen Avenue (4)

Stephen Avenue is one of the hottest places in Calgary, especially during the summer when it is packed with trendy Calgarians looking for a great place to have a drink and get some shopping done.  Whenever I'm down there, I try to explore the entire street.  Here are a few that come to mind.

Drunkity Drunk Drunk (7)

Maybe you had a bad week or maybe you want to go celebrate a new job.  Perhaps you are on the worst date and just want to drink your troubles away.  Either way, these are some of my favourite bars!

This is how to travel! (9)

Everything you need to know about planning a great trip.

Funny Guy! (5)

So I just discovered that you can sort your reviews by either Funny, Useful or Cool!  I had no idea!

Apparently you guys think that sometimes I'm funny. Awww that's so sweet.  According to your UFCs, here are my funniest.

Dowtown or bust! (6)

Sometimes it's hard to find things to in downtown Calgary at night. The core seems to clear out faster than you can say Stephen Avenue.  But there are actually lots of things to do downtown, you may just have to look harder for them!

Who doesn't love to be comfortable? (4)

But what is comfortable?  It really depends on my mood and what I'm looking to do.  However, typically it involves one of these places that relax me in many different ways!

The parents are coming, the parents are coming! (10)

Who doesn't love when your parents come to town, right?  Hello?  Anyone?  Well I do!  Here are some of the places I like to take my mom and dad any time they come to visit!

It's the theatre! (4)

Here are some of my favourite (and least favourite) theatres in Calgary for acting or otherwise!

Canadian Airports! (3)

Not that we have much choice of airports but it is always good to know who has free wifi and who doesn't!

Japan: Who needs a passport! (3)

I've never been to Japan but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the food!  Mmmmm sushi!
