For the frequent flyer on your list…
The AVENTURE blanket by Volprivé was designed to be big enough to wrap your whole body with warmth, yet lightweight and easy to transport. Pop yours into one of their BON VOYAGE Volprivé travel bags that easily attach onto a carry-on bag keeping your items dry and easy to access when you need them.
For the camper on your list…
The Hopper M30 is the carry-the-day, tough-as-nails soft cooler that is perfect for any traveller on your list. Easily portable for those who are on-the-go, this cooler has been re-engineered with a wider mouth for easy loading and unloading. It closes almost on its own with our HydroShield™ Technology – a strip of ultra-strong magnets – then is secured with two Quick-Release Buckles to ensure it can withstand being tossed around.
For the one who is always on the go…
The Philips Touch-up Pen Trimmer is a discrete tool that makes it quick and easy to remove even the finest body and facial hairs on the go. If you’re always on the road, scheduling something like your beauty appointments can be difficult but thankfully the Philips Touch-up Pen Trimmer keeps you looking great and feeling fresh! Plus, it’s small enough to fit in a handbag, school bag or clutch and is battery powered, so you can take it anywhere.
For the forgetful one on your list…
The updated Tile Slim was designed for special use cases that require a low profile. It can easily slip into narrow spaces or lay flat on expensive devices. Led by customer feedback, Slim is now the shape of a credit card to better fit into wallets but still packs power. It also has improved durability, an increased range of 200 feet, a louder ring and a three-year battery.
For the fitness fanatic on your list…
Life moves quickly, and having a wearable that can help you stay more connected when it matters makes a big difference. Fitbit Versa, at $249.95 CAD, is the perfect smartwatch to keep you connected. With real-time call, text and calendar alerts right on your wrist, plus third-party apps like Uber and Starbucks, you won’t miss a beat. Plus, Android users can take advantage of quick replies to send quick pre-populated or customizable replies to text messages and messaging apps.
To pamper someone on your list…

For the stylish traveller on your list…
Combining both style and function, The Arlo Fedora is your must-have travel hat. The wide brim fedora comes in both men’s and women’s in a re-designed pattern. King & Fifth Supply co.’s fedora lowered the crown height just enough so that the hat is versatile enough that it looks great sitting atop the head but tippled back as well.
