Aqua Vie En Rose Boxing Day
If you are planning to go somewhere tropical in the next while or want to stock up on some summer wear early, Aqua Vie En Rose is having a great boxing day sale. I bought a bucket hat for $1.99, select swimsuit tops and bottoms were like $15.00 each and they were actually decent looking.
Lululemon Boxing Day
Lululemon boxing day wasn't bad, it all depends on what you are looking for. Things weren't that cheap, but some discount is better than nothing at all. I have to say the discounts were better than the ones you get at their warehouse.
Sale items were sorted out by size, so you were easily able to go in there and try what you want and grab and go.
The sale is still on so get there as soon as possible.

It is time to put away those Nalgene style water bottles. They were once marketed as the best thing out there, but not anymore if MEC is even taking them off their store shelves.

Cool Inexpensive Gift for a Gal at Christmas
Glowing Swarovski Cube - FireJewel Necklace
ooh, glittering diamond! Well, not really. It’s a 10 mm solitaire Austrian Swarovski crystal, but it does sparkle fabulously thanks to a small internal light.
The $39.95 bling on a string is powered by a replaceable 3-volt lithium battery which lasts about 60 hours.

Gumdrops Rubber Boots Rock
I never thought rubber boots could come into fashion and turn out looking stylish, but here they are Gumdrops on 4th avenue. The boots are definitely waterproof and dirt proof. I trampled through a pumpkin patch with them (speaking of they were white boots) and all I did was wash them off with water and voila it was back to looking new.
Guys, a great Christmas gift idea for your girlfriend :)
