Hatch has great a lineup of pint-sized ready-to-go drinks, including this 100ml can of espresso martini mocktail.
This little fella may be small, but it really packs a punch. You can serve it either hot or cold, but I prefer it shaken (not stirred) and served in a martini glass - it's only appropriate. The flavours are very strong and bold, just like an espresso should be - my Portuguese ancestors would be proud. It's so strong, in fact, that I may need to cut it with some milk in the future - consider my ancestors not-so-proud.
Best of all, its made in Canada so I can feel good knowing I'm supporting my local Canucks.

I've been a diehard fan of another brand for years now and until now, I've never really wanted to stray away from them. But having tried a Yankee Candle for the first time I may just change my tune. This candle is part of their studio collection and comes in a beautiful geometric container, which in my opinion is much more visually appealing than the OG cylindrical glass. The "Pink Sans" scent is light and floral (think jasmine and osmanthus) with some fruity hints of melon and berries.
Although I personally prefer candles with 3-wicks , this single-wick candle smells wonderful and needs no candle holder to make it look great perched atop the counter or my bedroom!

No hands were harmed thanks to these extra long "Cheech and Tong" courtesy of Barbecues Galore (whoever comes up with these names needs a raise!) These tongs made easy work of turning the souvlaki sticks and flipping the pitas on the grill. Because its mostly made of stainless steel and simple design, washing up was also a breeze.
These are already a part of my go-to grilling tools and by the looks of it, they're going to last a long time. So long that I may have to write them down in my will so that my nephews may be #blessed with the magic that is an awesome pair of stainless steel tongs. Because if time has taught us anything, its that "they don't make them like they used to!"

don't have a grill that requires fuel Gabecue Galore's Big Boy Grillin' Fuel Bin is actually made for (wood chips, pellets, charcoal, etc). So...I improvised and tried to fit as many other household items (albeit 90% of them quite random) and it did surprisingly well.
It actually does hold alot of volume - 40 lbs of it, in fact. Besides holding random items I keep around the house I did attempt filling it with Mia's dog food. However upon quick examination, my current container of dog food has a soft seal to keep food fresh. The fuel bin does not have because it obviously wasn't made to hold dog food to begin with.
Having said that, this container felt VERY solid. Its made of heavy duty plastic, the handle is comfortable and the lid makes it easy to re-stock and pour your fuel into your BBQ mess-free. It would make a great addition to any Barbecue set up.

When it comes to ice cream, my husband does not mess around. 🍨 He loves sweet, decadent flavours and if it contains peanut butter, its a great little bonus.
Introducing: Wolf Pass ice cream, where peanut butter cups and Chapman’s creamy vanilla ice cream meet in delicious ecstasy. There are also crunchy chocolate ribbons, perfect for those who can’t get enough chocolate on their dessert (exhibit A: my husband 🤣). We found it to be sweet, creamy, and the occasional crunch of chocolate was delightful!

My pork shoulder roasted on low for about 10 hours alongside some garlic and onions. The meat was already very soft and tender, but "The Shreddies" made very quick work and shredded it down to the perfect pulled pork consistency. If you're the type to regularly make pulled pork or are in the restaurant business, I can definitely see these being extremely useful. But considering I rarely make pulled pork, I'm not sure I would go out of my way to purchase them since I can't see myself using them for any other purpose.

This cute-as-heck sweet maple coffee drink courtesy of Hatch is truly delicious. Its made with Hatch's medium dark roast coffee and a splash of creamy oat milk. It was so good, but I really wish it were bigger! If you're drinking it on-the-go, its the perfect size. But if you're hoping to make a nice iced coffee at home, you'll need to add alot of ice and milk in order to give yourself more than just a 1/4 of a glass. And if you do, the coffee taste is much weaker (understandably so!). So while the taste is 10/10, the packaging should be a bit bigger. -
