Another lockdown is likely upon us, and with curfews and social distancing orders back in place, many of us are anticipating time away from our loved ones.

While these measures help keep us safe, it doesn't make being away from your your favourite uncle or your tech-loving grandparents any easier. It's especially difficult during the holidays, which are typically a time for happy reunions. But until we can gather safely in person, we will have to comfort ourselves with regular FaceTime calls and unexpected gifts that add joy and variety to the monotony of each day.

I've curated some sentimental presents that capture these feelings of love and hope at a time like this. Share them with your family this whole season.
