Flower Power

One of the best gifts I’ve ever received was a huge bunch of fresh flowers, already arranged in a great vase (in my ideal world I’d have a new arrangement each week). It’s a perfect, thoughtful hostess gift for this time of year when Christmas cocktail parties are getting into full swing. I highly recommend a stop at Pink Twig Floral Boutique on College Street in Toronto. I brought in my own vase for this gorgeous arrangement, but they sell them there, too. The girls are very helpful, creative and friendly and the shop has some other great gifts as well like candles, cushions by Sabrina Linn and more.
