Gift Guide: Editor Michelle Kelly’s holiday wish list for 2024

Personalized Cribbage Board Pegs

Cribbage is one of those beloved cottage games played by young and old alike. These markers make it personal and, natch, easier to keep track of who is winning!

Vortex Diamondback HD 8x28mm Binoculars

An essential item for all nature-loving cottagers. And also good for spying on neighbours across the lake (or so I hear).

Men's Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas

I bought a set of these for my husband last year for Christmas and I think it’s the most beloved gift I’ve ever given him. Bonus: you can get them monogrammed!

EXP Thermal Socks

Moisture-wicking, super-toasty socks are a must for cold winter weekends at the lake and for chilly city commutes, too.

Weber Kettle Series Charcoal BBQ

Our Grill Genius, David Zimmer, recommended this model to me many years ago and we have grilled on it every since. I used to be intimidated by coal-cooking but this Weber makes it easy—delicious dinner every time.

Snow Scoop Shovel

Do your back an favour and upgrade your snow shovel to this scooper with an ergonomic handle. Also good for transporting your bags from the car upon arrival on a snowy night.

Kiehl’s Mini Ultimate Strength Hand Salve

There is never too much hand cream for winter in Canada. I’ll be stuffing my family’s stockings with a tube of this favourite.

Casetify Phone Case

A novel way to keep your lakeside memories close throughout the year and an ideal gift for the cottage-loving teen in your life.

Subscription to Cottage Life

I trust I don’t need to tell you why this is the perfect gift for anyone on your list? Merry, merry!
