FOR MOM
“Plaid is huge this season, and this is a beautiful colour combination. It’s huge and could be worn almost as a shawl! It looks absolutely sumptuous and I love the coloration in it.” TNT, $410, 394 Eglinton Ave. W.
FOR GRANDMA
“This is beautiful. It’s got a bold graphic design, really luxurious. And it just looks comfy, cosy and really chic. Any stylish grandma would love that, I’m sure!” Freda’s, $430, 45 Elm St.
FOR DAD
“This spiderweb design is really unusual and different from a typical puffer. You know you’re getting incredible quality with Moncler. If you’re going for a high-end jacket that can be worn skiing, this is the one.” Moncler via Holt Renfrew, $2,240, 50 Bloor St. W.
FOR YOUR BESTIE
“It looks absolutely cosy and is a timeless piece that you will always have in your wardrobe. Sweater vests might be a trend, but this doesn’t look trendy. It’s a classic with this fine merino wool.” Judith & Charles via Nordstrom, $484, 260 Yonge St.
FOR THE DOG
“It’s classic chunky knit, like the old sweaters that your mom or your grandmother used to make — a real homemade feel. With the reindeer on it, it’s so seasonal. I just think it’s adorable.” Dogfather & Co., $56, 1007 Yonge St.
FOR THE KIDS
“This is great to wear après-ski or just hanging out. It’s a pullover and it’s fleece, so it’s nice and cuddly. I love this gorgeous, dreamy graphic scene with all those great colours in it.” H&M, $32.99, 1 Bass Pro Mills Dr.
