If you're anything like us, November is when the excitement starts to bubble up and the holiday planning begins. We've started scoping out standout party looks, booking pre-holiday pampering and checking off items on our gifting lists. The fun part is that you can get a head start on all of this here at Aevi!
If you ask us, Aevi is your one-stop shop for all things holiday (minus the dinners and appetizers, but we can certainly help you dress for them! And if you're not the one cooking this year, we've got the perfect hostess gift, too). All of our favourite things to give and receive are right here in the boutique.
And when it's time to head out, we've got you covered there, too. Stop by the salon for a little pre-festivities service, whether it's fresh hair, nails or simply a little extra time for yourself.
Think of this as your guide to getting holiday-ready.

For the Ones Who Are Always on the Go
Another one of our favourites, Aloha Collection has travel-friendly bags and accessories that are as practical as they are fun. They're perfect for the person who's always heading somewhere, whether it's a weekend getaway or a hot vaycay. We're loving the fresh lineup of patterns and colours this year, plus a new addition to the collection: trucker caps!
A Little Something for the Hostess
Coal & Canary candles make a lovely hostess gift and add a little atmosphere to any home. Locally made with wooden wicks, they're a thoughtful option for anyone who loves a good candle. We're also happy to have so many familiar favourites back this year, with plenty of scents to choose from.
Pre-Party Pampering
Before settling on the perfect holiday outfit, a little time for yourself is always a good place to start. Whether it's refreshing your skincare routine, adding a little shine to your hair or booking a salon appointment, the getting-ready process deserves some attention, too.
Once you’ve indulged a little, you’ll feel inspired to pass the feeling on. Oribe and Dermalogica have returned once again with beautiful holiday sets that make gifting a little more luxurious.

A Reason to Dress Up
Now for the best part: the outfits. Between work celebrations, holiday dinners and New Year's Eve plans, we love an excuse to get dolled up.
Whether you're drawn to a statement dress or prefer something a little more understated, Edit 57 has beautiful pieces to make getting ready feel special. Start with a dress you love, then build around it. A little faux fur adds texture and warmth, while the right jewellery brings everything together.
And don't forget the components that bring it all together. Our collection of SPANX offers hosiery and shapewear essentials to help complete your holiday look.
Our holiday party essentials:
- Dresses from Edit 57
- Faux fur layers
- Statement jewellery
- SPANX hosiery and shapewear
The best part about finding a great holiday outfit? It's one you'll want to wear long after the festivities are over.
Little Luxuries Under $100
A thoughtful gift doesn't have to come with a big price tag. Some of our favourite finds are the little extras that make someone smile.
These thoughtful pieces come in handy when you're shopping for a Secret Santa exchange, filling a stocking or looking for something to pair with a larger gift.
