What We're Shopping For In July 2026
From unbreakable patio stemware to easy kids’ basics, these are the July finds we're loving right now.
It is so hot out in Toronto that regular parenting duties feel even more difficult than usual. All we want are simple ways to stay cool. These great products help do just that.
Barbie x Happy Pops You Can Be Anything Ice Pop Collection
Our best friends this heat wave: the 25 career-themed Barbies (spanning fields across STEM, sports, media, culinary arts, agriculture, healthcare, entrepreneurship and more) that decorate the packages of the limited-edition 'You Can Be Anything' popsicles from Toronto-based brand Happy Pops. Originally launched for International Women's Month earlier this year, each package has a different Barbie alongside an empowering message designed to spark confidence—and the Pink Lemonade popsicles are bursting with tart, cold lemon and sweet dragon fruit juice.
Porter Green silicone stemware
While these adorable silicone glasses are perfect for patios and decks, they're also ideal if you have kids—especially those who empty your dishwasher and have a habit of dropping glasses. Porter Green silicone stemware is dishwasher-safe, made of food-grade silicone, and it comes in a range of colours.
Our Place Wonder Oven
There is no way the oven is being turned on in this heat. Luckily, the Wonder Oven by Our Place does it all. It toasts, air fries, bakes, roasts, broils and reheats. Plus, it looks so great on your counter.
We've cooked chicken thighs, baked brownies, heated up Pop Tarts and made many slices of toast using our new favourite appliance. And it's so simple to use, you'll have your kids cooking dinner soon enough.
Miles The Label basics collection
Sometimes a closet full of graphic tees and printed shorts can feel overwhelming and not particularly appropriate for that garden party or slightly dressed-up family get-together. Miles The Label's Basics Collection is made with soft, organically grown cotton essentials. And it makes comfy separates look a bit more put together. Even a matching set of bike shorts and tee can look polished on a little kid.
MUJI bedding
Right now, it's too hot for anything but a cooling blanket, and MUJI's Cotton Cool Touch Thin Duvet is a solid choice. We love that the outer layer is 100 percent cotton. The filling is a very thin layer of polyester. It feels smooth and cool on overheated skin. And if, like us, your kids run very different temperatures, the Japanese brand offers a range of bedding, including light duvets for kids who are cold even in the summer and luxurious down duvets for the colder months.
Quince linen sleeveless dress
A simple linen dress that can take you from a humid workday to dinner to a weekend away is always a winner. We love this one in red gingham by Quince. It's 100 percent linen, comfortable, not too short and has pockets. The pin-tucking gives it an elevated look, but it looks great with heels, flats or flip-flops.
Petit Lem matching swim
There are a few things you'd only do for your kids when they're little, and it seems like wearing matching ensembles is one of them. While family swimwear may seem cringe to a teen, toddlers and little kids love the sense of belonging a parent-child matching moment brings. We love these options from Canadian company Petit Lem. The fruit prints are our favourites.
