Holiday Gifting Guide

by blaqdoor: Timepieces 
We came across by blaqdoor a couple months ago and were immediately drawn to their timepieces. With their luxe design and the fact that each piece is cut and hand sewn at a Queen Street atelier, they make the perfect holiday gift.

Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez
Tired of getting the same old bottle of whisky or cognac for your friends or family members, why not show them you’ve really put some thought into their gift this year and treat them to a bottle of Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez. It’s a ten year old aged rum, aged under the Caribbean sun which means it matures 3-4 times as quickly as a scotch, so this drinks more like a 21 year old scotch – for a fraction of the price!
