Curated Desires
Your Mysterious Lover's Wishlist.
If you ever find yourself wondering what might make this redhead smile, you've found the right page.
One of my love languages has always been thoughtful gift giving and receiving. Not because I measure affection by price, but because I cherish the intention behind it.
I've always believed the most meaningful gifts are the ones that become part of everyday life. The skincare I reach for before bed, the fragrance I wear on a special evening, something that supports my wellness, or a little luxury that makes an ordinary day feel just a bit more special. Those are the gifts I treasure most because they don't simply sit on a shelf, they're enjoyed again and again.
The beautiful thing about thoughtful gifts is that they have a way of keeping someone close, even when they're far away. Every time I use them, I can't help but smile and think of the gentleman who chose them for me. They're little reminders of wonderful memories shared and a lovely reason to look forward to making new ones together.
Your company will always be my favourite gift. Everything on this page is simply a glimpse into the things that bring me joy, support the life I love living, and remind me of you long after we've said goodnight.
Nothing here is ever expected, only sincerely appreciated.
Beauty & Wellness Rituals
Taking care of myself is one of my favourite forms of indulgence. I especially adore gifts that contribute to my beauty, wellness, recovery, and the little rituals that help me feel my best.
Beauty
Sephora Canada
For makeup, skincare, fragrance, and all the little things that somehow find their way into my basket.
My favourite fragrance.
Rejuvaderm
For treatments and a little maintenance. Beauty may look effortless, but I assure you there are appointments involved.
Hair
Chatters Salons
Long red hair requires a little love. Haircare and salon gift cards will always be put to good use.
Rest & Recovery
Fairmont Spa
Massages, facials, body treatments, and an excuse to disappear for an afternoon.
Kananaskis Nordic Spa
Give me hot pools, mountain air, and absolutely nowhere I need to be.
Places I'm Dreaming About
And then there are the places currently living rent-free in my imagination...
New York City
Shopping, cocktails, theatre, fabulous dinners, and getting wonderfully lost in Manhattan.
Tuscany
Rolling hills, beautiful food, Italian sunshine, and the sort of slow mornings I could become very accustomed to.
Rome
Because at least once in my life, I deserve to dramatically drink an espresso in Rome while dressed impeccably.
Bali
Warm water, wellness, beautiful food, and nowhere to rush off to.
Iceland
Cold air, warm water, and disappearing into the landscape for a while.
Greece
For when my only real responsibility should be deciding between the pool and the Aegean.
Kyoto, Japan
Aman Kyoto
Quiet luxury, incredible food, beautiful rituals, and a completely different pace of life.
Amsterdam
Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky
Canals, architecture, museums, wandering, and perhaps getting into just a little trouble.
London
Hotel Café Royal
Theatre, cocktails, afternoon tea, shopping, and every excuse to dress beautifully.
For My Wardrobe
I love gifts I can actually wear and enjoy.
Activewear
Lululemon
For lifting, Pilates, yoga, and pretending my activewear collection isn't already extensive.
Casual & Going Out
Fashion Nova
For everything from casual little outfits to something decidedly less casual for a night out.
Shoes, Bags & Accessories
I have a particular weakness for beautiful accessories, especially pieces I'll own for years.
Favourite houses include:
Christian Louboutin
Prada
Hermès
Gucci
Saint Laurent
Chanel
P.S. Purses are an especially dangerous weakness of mine, but I also adore beautiful luggage, sunglasses, shoes, and small leather goods.
For My Next Getaway
Perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the greatest gifts you can give a woman with a wandering heart is another reason to pack her suitcase.
Getting There
Flightgift
For wherever I'm disappearing to next.
Uber
For getting me from here to there.
Staying Somewhere Beautiful
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
A hotel bed, room service, and a beautiful view will rarely disappoint me.
Something That Sparkles
My preference is for gold hardware and gold-toned pieces, particularly necklaces, earrings, rings, and watches.
A few favourite houses:
Van Cleef & Arpels
Tiffany & Co.
Bvlgari
Cartier
Chanel
Dior
Hermès
I tend to gravitate toward pieces that are feminine, timeless, and wearable enough to become part of my everyday life.
The Big Dreams
Four Wheels & a Very Big Bow
I have always appreciated a beautiful car almost as much as a beautiful handbag.
A few that have caught my eye:
Mercedes-Benz
Jaguar
Range Rover
Bentley
Do with that information what you will.
