Although this summer wasn't the same, we were still able to enjoy it, even if it was in our backyard rather than by the sea. What a pleasure to share cocktails with friends on the patio, have family picnics in the park, or lounge in the sun by the pool!
So, we've prepared a selection of 8 wonderful local products that we absolutely love, perfect for extending all the things that make us appreciate the summer season.
3D Cocktails – Poseidn
Fruity and colorful cocktails all year round? Oh yes!
This young Quebec company has taken cocktails to another level with 3D drinks that dissolve in alcohol (gin, rum, vodka, or whiskey) to form a delicious, refreshing, and ready-to-drink beverage in moments. All that's left is to decorate and enjoy!
Our two favorites: raspberry + green tea (to mix with gin) and pineapple + coconut (to mix with rum).
Cracking Fire Candle – 4 ELEMENTS
One of our favorite things about summer is sitting around a campfire with good company and listening to the fire crackle under a starry sky. So, it's a real pleasure to light this scented candle and watch its wooden wick catch fire.
Hand-poured with soy wax, 4 ELEMENTS candles burn for up to 50 hours, allowing you to enjoy them for a long time, in addition to making you feel like you're at the cabin or camping!
By the way, did you know that many candles from this company are found in our gift boxes?
Hidden Activities Summer Vacation Set – Zimo Message
We already love Zimo's fabric fortune cookies, but we fell in love with their activity sets to decode with Lorraine's magic acetate. The perfect idea to keep children busy for a few hours indoors or outdoors! Several sets of 25 challenges or activities are available to entertain the little ones... and parents too!
The ultimate 100% Quebec festive happy hour box! We had the pleasure of testing all the products just for you... We admit, it was a lot of fun! If the mixologist in you is looking for sunny flavors, this is an excellent starting point. Cheers!
Blanket – MiNi TiPi
Whether as a picnic blanket, for camping, or to wrap up in while reading a book on a lounge chair in the yard, Mini Tipi blankets keep us warm when evenings get cooler.
Made of wool and acrylic, they are soft, thick, and so comfortable. Ours is the Thunderbird, and we use it daily.
Bath Bombs – Savonnerie Saponaria
When our routine makes us feel the need for a break, let's treat ourselves to a nice warm bath with some spa music playing. Add a bath bomb from Savonnerie Saponaria to make this me-time even more precious. Will you choose Tangerine and Grapefruit or Sakura? It's impossible to resist their sweet scent! You'll find them in our surprise cocooning boxes and several gift boxes for her!
BBQ season can easily extend into autumn. Autumn vegetables with a good grill, we're already salivating! Men will be able to feel like kings of the barbecue and create masterpieces to enjoy. It's no wonder it was one of the biggest sellers of the summer! Bon appétit!
Maxi Dress – Louve Design
Louve Design's primary mission is to create ethical and recycled clothing. We particularly like this maxi dress, which can be worn in both summer and autumn. Comfortable and simple, it pairs well with accessories: a hat, headband, sunglasses, shawl, or earrings.
In short, there are so many great ways to make summer feel longer. After a summer of discovering our region and its surroundings, let's continue to buy local with beautiful products from here!
