Meet the Minister of Finance

January 2nd, 2012

Dear Members of Parliament,

You can kill two Turtle Doves with one stone at Parliament this Christmas. Figuratively, of course. With both darling decorations and gorgeous gifts galore to be gotten, you can cross more than a few to-dos off the list (sorry we don’t sell organic turkeys yet).

To close out 2011, we’ve got one last Minister for you to meet. Our gal Finance shares a few smart and sexy holiday buys.

Her Pick: Custom Parliament Candles

January 2nd, 2012

“Our very own candles! These were created for us by the same company that supplies Neiman Marcus and Barneys New York. We named them after songs that spoke to our favourite Parliament colours: ‘Blue Monday’ is sweet honeysuckle, ‘In The Navy’ is earthy vetiver, ‘Fade to Grey’ is refreshing cucumber mint and ‘Mellow Yellow’, my favourite, is soft, subtle pear. I’ll be stuffing a few stockings with these.”

 

 

$12 travel tin, $40 standard size

Her Pick: Exclusive Vancouver Pillow

January 2nd, 2012

We also had this canvas pillow, emblazoned with the longitude and latitude of the city we love, custom-made for the store. It’s the perfect gift for a proud Vancouverite or someone living abroad who’s homesick for their hometown.”

 

$135 (25w x 15h)

Her Pick: Desk and Dresser Duo

January 2nd, 2012

“This sleek, lacquered three-drawer dresser with desk speaks to my love of form and function. The desk piece just rests atop the dresser, so it can be placed in any configuration—pull it out when you need to use it and push it back in when you don’t.”

 

In white or charcoal grey. Available now for pre-order, arrives February 2012.

$1,215 (47w x 28h x 18d, desk +49w x +2h
