The Libra Birthday | Gift Guide

With Libra season falling between September 23rd and October 22nd, we've curated a list of the best local gifts for these Autumn babes.

Gold Dust Woman Candle | Shy Wolf

Local Canadian Brands, Shy Wolf Candles, Gold Dust Woman Candle

When your birthday is around spooky season, a cute but witchy candle is the perfect gift. This candle encompasses everything about this time of year: a cozy feeling as the air starts to get a little chillier and the leaves start to turn brown with the sultry notes of nutmeg and nag champa. This candle is inspired by Fleetwood Mac, which is the ultimate vibe for Libras. Throw on a little American Horror Story, light this candle, and call it a night.

Cow Print Extended Throw | Sunset Snuggles

Local Canadian Brands, Sunset Snuggles, cow Print Extended Throw Blanket

This is the blanket that dreams are made of. So cozy and chic they'll want to wear it around the house during the day and sleep with it at night. Plus, the cow print is the cutest accent to any room. Sunset Snuggles' signature heavy weight knit throw blanket is the softest blanket you'll ever touch. Knit from luxurious 100% Polyester micro-feather yarn, their blankets are fluffy yet dense with the perfect amount of stretch, and double-ply construction that gives it weight keeping you extra cozy.

Morning Deew Cannabis Cream | Deew

Local Canadian Brands, Deew, Morning Deew Cannabis Cream

We're all familiar with our skin getting a little dry at this time of year. The libra in your life could use a little self-care to combat the chilly weather. This day cream wakes you up with a pleasant tingle as a blend of organic hemp seed oil, argan oil, and murumuru butter deeply moisturizes and nourishes your skin. Each pot is formulated with energizing essential oils; think spearmint, peppermint, and rosemary.

This morning cream does it all:

+ Soothes and nourishes dry skin
+ Restores dull and irritable skin
+ Uplifts and energizes skin

Babes Supporting Babes Big Sister Hoodie | Brunette the Label

Local Canadian Brands, Brunette the Label, Babes Supporting Babes Big Sister Hoodie in Emerald

Emerald green is the colour of the season. The Big Sister Hoodie fits oversized with a drop shoulder and a long body that hits you mid-thigh. This style features wide drawstrings, a double-lined hood, and a kangaroo pocket on the front. We recommend sticking true to size for that perfectly oversized look. Brunette's signature cotton and polyester fleece blend will keep you cozy all day, every day.

Rooibos Chai Tea | New Moon Tea

Local Canadian Brands, New Moon Tea Co, Rooibos Chai Tea

Nothing completes Fall quite like a nice warm cup of tea. Pairing these two very recognizable and well-loved teas creates a bold, yet decaf cup. The quiet nuttiness of red rooibos relaxes into our rich mix of fennel, anise star, clove, ginger, cinnamon, coriander and peppercorn for the best of both worlds. The flavour profile of this tea is completed with a sweet, fruity and spicy aroma which brews spicy and sweet.

This tea can also be used in a number of different ways, including as a Chai Martini with the following recipe:
