Christmas shopping for the rest of us

Christmas day is just around the corner, and that means that you’ll have to please tons of people, with tons of nice and expensive gifts, and line the pockets of tons of rich business people with tons of money.

Or you could take the alternative route: instead of buying more and more things, you could give theater, opera or classical music tickets, or even cinema tickets as gifts. You could give week-ends of skiing, or a stay at a hotel or a visit at a spa. Hell, just a nice sensual dinner could be an amazing gift that won’t end-up collecting dust in someone’s drawers. Or how about a night of drinking on you at a fancy spot in the Old Port, like Garde-Manger, or something of the sort.

Our friends at Montreal-clubs.com have created an alternative shopping guide for Christmas.

If you really insist on buying useless electronics and give even more money to Apple, then the gift guide of commercial newspaper the Montreal Mirror is exactly what your soon-to-be-emptier wallet needs.
