Guinea Pigs Don’t Wear Pants

Guinea Pigs Don’t Wear Pants is a joyful picture book about 2SLGBTQIA+ self-expression and identity, celebrating kids across the rainbow-hued spectrum. Ahead of its June release, the book has already drawn support from names including Raffi, Fred Penner, Sharon & Bram, Rosie O'Donnell, Margaret Cho, Mae Martin and Tegan Quin.

Jouviance CERA+ Serum

We love a multipurpose product, and this serum by Canadian brand Jouviance checks many boxes. It's great for sensitive skin and actually soothes irritation. It can be used on the face, neck and decollete—and really, almost anywhere else. Plus, it reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles and restores elasticity. Use it on your kids in a pinch. While they might not have wrinkles, it rebalances the skin microbiome and repairs the skin barrier.

BKIND Leave-in Conditioning Serum

Are summer frizz and dryness issues for you? We love this Québec-made, plant-based serum that smoothes and softens without weighing hair down.

TofuGo Snacks

With few ingredients and no sugar, these high-protein tofu snacks are a great swap for protein and granola bars in lunch boxes. We love that the company is woman-owned and Canadian. Inspired by a centuries-old Chinese snack, TofuGo snacks are small, chewy, flavoured squares of tofu. They're kind of like tofu jerky and are surprisingly addictive.

NatPat Zero Bites Kit

It's mosquito season, and NatPat, known for its mosquito-repellent and itch-relief patches, has a solution. This kit bundles the brand's best mosquito-protection products, including repellent stickers, citronella coils and bracelets. It also comes with a fun magnifying glass and tick-repelling patches.

Belkin SoundForm Mini 2 Kids Headphones

These kids' headphones are perfect for road trips, travel, and summer days when you simply don't want to listen to the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack again (although is that possible?). Their battery life is 55 hours, but they can also be used wired. The RockStar mode allows kids to share what they're listening to with a friend or sibling. Plus, the 85dB volume limit protects kids' hearing.

Libby

Looking for audiobooks to go along with those headphones? Libby, the free library app, is a lifesaver. If you have a library card, you can borrow books. And whether your kid can read in the car on a device (Libby pairs well with Kobo in Canada and Kindle in the U.S.) or they need an audiobook, you'll find something literary to keep them busy.

Retrospec Weekender 10'6” Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board

For those of us who live by a body of water but also have winter to deal with, an inflatable stand-up paddleboard is a fun investment. It's also a great Father's Day option for a sporty dad who's hard to shop for. This one weighs only 17.5 lbs and is perfect for all skill levels. The brand also has multi-person paddleboards, so you can take kids along or kid versions if you want to go on family outings across the lake.
