ALISON LAWLER-DEAN The gift blog guru (givegoodgift.ca) takes a break from posting perfect presents to reflect on her own holiday wish picks.

My parents sent my sister and me to Paris for my university graduation. I think experiential gifts are the best.
When my parents turned 65, I made them a family album ($29.80 U.S. plus shipping for a classic hardcover with a linen cover at mypublisher.com). I found old family photos to put in the album and got to customize everything.
I always love Kiehl’s Creme de Corps. This year, they collaborated with New York graffiti artist KAWS to redesign the bottle ($37.50/250 ml, 407 Queen West, 416-?977-?3558, and others, kiehls.com). A donation to a charity in my name is always a great gift. I work very closely with the Stephen Lewis Foundations (stephenlewisfoundation.org).
