You've Got a Giveaway!
A few of my favourite things—all wrapped up in love.
Grazie mille! A thousand thanks for all your support since I launched my newsletter earlier this year. It’s been so fun putting these weekly musings together for you and such a treat to connect with new people through this platform. There are a lot of newsletters out there, and new ones coming out everyday, so I truly appreciate that you have chosen to continue reading my words.
I’ve collected a few of my favourite stocking stuffers and wrapped them up for one lucky reader. That’s right, it’s a giveaway! I will ship this parcel anywhere in the world—all are welcome to enter!

Liking my articles (or leaving comments) helps new readers find my newsletter on the Substack platform. It also let’s me connect with you and fuels the creativity behind YGL. I would love to grow this community in 2024 and continue sharing my curated recommendations and weekly articles on design, vulnerable connection, and laid-back well being. Scott and I will be launching our podcast feature in the new year and I have a few other fun column ideas. Just a reminder: I don’t use affiliate links or make sponsored content—it’s all personal, genuine, and reader focused around here.
Q: So what’s wrapped up in the boxes?
A: A surprise selection of goodies! Two products I’ve written and posted about this year, a few of my favourite treats, and the cutest mouse ornament wearing a wool super puff, of course! A collection of items to bring you some good hearted holiday cheer.
One lovely reader will be randomly selected from the list of likes on the morning of winter solstice:
❄️ Thursday, December 21st ❄️
I will reach out directly to that individual by email and ask for a shipping address to have the parcel delivered. It will be sent via Canada Post with tracking information. If you have any questions, please let me know. Good luck to all and thank you again for your continued love and support.
