Who's on your Christmas List? by Colleen Kanna

Don your coziest pair of pajama pants and the Lindsay bamboo cardirobe and you’re all set to binge watch your favourite Netflix series.

I hope this gives you a few ideas, or 17 to be exact! The Lindsay comes in 3 colours: Fiery Fuchsia, Silky Blue and Midnight Black. And, 4 sizes: 1(S), 2(M), 3(L) and 4(XL). It’s a loose fitting style with a drop shoulder so you can easily go up or down a size. It has a self-tie belt so you can wrap the robe around you, or tie it loosely in the back, or remove the belt altogether. And, for the petite women on your list, It also comes in petite sizes.
