If there's anyone who's known for giving a great gift, it's our CEO, Joanna Goodman. When thinking about our holiday shopping, we couldn't help but wonder... what is Joanna giving this year? We had to find out what she had her eye on - and surprise surprise, we want it ALL. Take a peek below at our CEO's favourite pieces she's gifting this year.
The Peggy Robe, $175
"My very favourite piece to give this year. I created this robe in honour of my mom Peggy, who passed away in 2014 from breast cancer. Peggy was the founder of Au Lit, and this soft pale pink was her favourite colour. 100% of the proceeds from this robe go to The Canadian Cancer Society in honour of Peggy."

Au Lit x Province of Canada Flannel Pyjamas, $288 for the set
"Everyone on my list this year is receiving a pair of plaid pyjamas from our holiday collaboration with Province of Canada. When we first started talking about a collaboration, we knew we wanted to create the perfect plaid pyjama. We looked back into the Au Lit archives and took inspiration from our bestselling collection from the 80's: a classic plaid tartan. Unlike every other plaid pyjama on the market, ours are crafted from the coziest 100% Japanese cotton flannel, and they're made right here in Canada."

Luminary Holiday Candles, $38
"One of my favourite parts of my job is travelling around the world, searching for new and unique home decor pieces for the store. I couldn't believe it when I found these incredible candles locally, in Guelph, Ontario. They have the most incredible scent, familiar but so luxurious, and I love that they're made from 100% soy. They're a fantastic price point, too."

"If there's someone in your life that loves to travel, this is the best gift in the world. This 100% pure goose down travel pillow is lightweight and portable, and combined with this silk sleep mask, the only way to sleep comfortably on a plane. These two pieces are the only reason I can sleep when I'm out on the road."

Tie a ribbon around this all-in-one bundle and put it under the tree, knowing that you've given the perfect gift."

The check pattern is classic enough to enjoy year after year, and they're an essential for snuggling up on the couch all winter long. They come in four beautiful neutral colours to suit every decor style."
