I Celebrate Canadian All Year Long
I Celebrate Canadian All Year Long
We just finished celebrating Canada Day and while the fireworks may be over, my appreciation for Canadian businesses continues year-round.
From home décor and design to food, skincare and travel, there are so many incredible Canadian companies creating products that are thoughtful, well-made and genuinely enjoyable to use.
Whenever possible, I try to support Canadian businesses throughout the year, and these are a few favourites that have earned a permanent place in my home and everyday life.
A great breakfast on the go that still feels like a bit of an indulgence.
I’m obsessed with great design, so naturally I’ve accumulated quite a collection of Umbra products over the years. A few favourites include the Sticks Wall Hook, Prisma Picture Frame, Penguin Soap Pump, Zoola Bunny Ring Holder and Touch Trash Can.
The very best non-dairy ice cream I’ve come across. The cashew cream base gives it the thickness and texture you actually want in an ice cream cone.
In my house it never went away, but it’s coming back in a big way! My seasonal fave is Just Peachy. It makes a fantastic iced bevvy.
Female-founded Canadian skincare? Yes please! I’ve been an avid user for years and if you haven’t tried it yet, their trial kit is a great place to start.
I’m often too hot when I’m sleeping and I know I’m not alone. I’ve been loving the cooling bamboo sheets from Hush.
When I’m packing for a trip, I want to get every last pound I can into my suitcase. That means finding luggage that’s lightweight without sacrificing quality. My Monos Check-In Large holds everything I need, handles cobblestone streets with ease and still keeps up with me.
What could be more Canadian than maple syrup? This Quebec company takes it a step further with flavours like whiskey, rum and bourbon.
I ALWAYS get one of these treats when I go to the One of a Kind Show. The good news is they ship too. It’s lemony perfection.
Design matters to me. Quality matters to me. Supporting Canadian businesses matters to me.
Thankfully, there are plenty of companies creating products that check all three boxes.
