London Drugs Holiday Giveaway
byThis year London Drugs is presenting the Sox in the City campaign that will provide clean socks to Downtown Eastside residents. Although the cold snap has broken, warm, dry, clean footwear is probably even more of a necessity during our rainy months. You can drop off new or gently used socks at Vancouver City Hall or any London Drugs location in Vancouver between now and January 31st, 2011. Socks donated this year will benefit the PHS Community Services Society’s Lifeskills Centre.
This being the season of giving, London Drugs has also supplied me with a plethora of goodies to share with my readers. Cosmetics, beauty care products, nail care, lotions, and top of the line fragrances along with a pile of stocking stuffers complete with coffee, mugs, earphones, stocking stuffers, and candy canes.
25 items in a Nina Ricci cosmetics bag
The best part is that the Beauty Package (value $500) & the Stocking Stuffer Package (value $150) can be kept all to yourself, split up into many gifts, or donated to a cause.
Here’s how you can enter to win:
Check out London Drugs this season for everything from alarm clocks to Christmas crackers and follow them on Twitter for updates and specials. I will draw two winners (one for ‘Beauty’ one for ‘Stocking Stuffer’) on Friday, December 17th, 2010.
Update Congratulations @mortgage_diva for winning the “Beauty” prize pack and Dan for wining the “Stocking Stuffer” prize!

Giving and receiving…. Christmas socks, funny as you wear them during X-mas but then feel sorta odd wearing them any other time of the year… so I have a collection of Christmas socks… guess my mom just may get a re-gifted pair of slightly worn socks this year. Unless… the gift basket would come in handy?!

The yummy Lindor Chocolates!
I would love to get some Purdy’s english toffe and some movie magazines in my stocking this year.
I love giving Santa Claus chocolate.
I haven’t had a stocking for ages. I guess chocolate, although I see others have said books, they’re a “gift” rather than a “stocking stuffer” in my mind but would beat chocolate.
I love to give my kids those chocolate oranges they seem to sell exclusively at this time of year – they love them, while I find them vile.
I much prefer to receive the timeless Lifesaver storybook in my my stocking – Santa, are you listening??
I didn’t grow up with stocking stuffers but I guess I’d like something fun like cosmetics or silly toys for the work cubicle.
Chocolate of course!
LIP BALMS are my favorite. Yummy ones, efficient ones, fruity, sporty, sunny, name it I love it.
Since my Mom is Dutch, I always get a chocolate letter (the letter of my first name). I love having this tradition to look forward to every year.

Chocolate has to be the best stocking stuffer for me, warning though don’t leave hanging over fireplace or your choclate will come in liquid form 🙂
My absolute FAVORITE type of stocking stuffers (both to give and receive) are themed. I find that putting a bit more thought into what goes in the sock can go a long way. Sometimes I’ll do a color theme (if I’m lazy) other times I’ll choose things that all go together to create a message to the person I’m giving it to!
Small bottles of Baileys are the BEST stocking stuffer. They get unwrapped and go straight into your coffee. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
