Holiday Gift Guide: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Shopping with Nathalie Rees

 

Episode 04: Show Notes.

 

Today we are sitting down with PR and style expert Nathalie Rees, a Vancouverite who works with brands in the lifestyle, fitness, and apparel industries and does collaborations for Park Royal. After she introduces herself and talks about her various roles, we dive into Nathalie’s must-have items for this holiday season, which we know is likely to be a bit different this year. But just because you are staying home does not mean you can’t get dressed up for at least one evening, so do yourself a favor and buy that sparkly dress or skirt you’ve been eyeing all season. If comfort is your idea of style, why not jazz up your sweatpants with unusual textures and some bling to go with it? Who said sleep and sportswear can’t be glamorous? And when it comes to the guys, we know they love a good staple, from hoodies and sweaters to boots and custom-made wooden watches. Tuning in to this episode, listeners will hear tons of gift ideas, big and small, for men and women of all ages. One thing’s for sure: after this year, we all deserve a treat and, whether it is a spa membership or that Peloton bike you’ve always wanted, now it the perfect time to go for it!
