TOOLS & ELECTRONICS
INIU Portable Charger
Rated 4.5 out of 5 Amazon.ca
Though later-model smartphones have better battery life, you’ll still need to recharge, and you might find yourself in a situation, like a vehicle breakdown or camping, where a power outlet may not be readily available. We recommend this power pack from INIU: it sports a 20,000 mAh capacity, enough to recharge an iPhone 13 more than four times, and a Samsung S20 more than three times. Charges up to three devices at a time.
Apple Watch Series 7
Rated 4.1 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Take advantage of when Apple products go on sale with this Apple Watch Series 7 device. Not only can you stay connected to family and friends with calls, texts, and emails when you don’t have your phone with you, but it also features powerful health innovations like sensors and apps to measure your blood oxygen level and take ECG readings. It’s also crack-resistant, dust-resistant, and swim-proof.
AISITIN Grill Accessories Grill Utensils Set
Rated 4.3 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Whether you intend to grill through the winter, or want an early start of meticulously planning the next grilling season, why not take a long look at your tool set? It may be time for a replacement, or it may just be lacking in one tool or another you’ve discovered you might like. If a full replacement is in the cards, this comprehensive 25-piece set from AISITIN is a good buy. Aside from the usual staples, it even comes with more niche tools like meat claws and corn forks.

Amber Night Reading light
Rated 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Whether you’re reading just before lights out, or reading in a dark nook without the best lighting, a clip-on LED light can be your friend, but it’s important to avoid blue light, like that emitted by your phone or other electronic devices, so that your natural sleep patterns aren’t affected. This particular variety gives off a warm, amber glow – I use it myself at night, and it’s like reading by candlelight. Makes you feel like there’s nothing in the whole world except you, your comforter, and that last chapter before bed.

Bathtub Caddy Tray
Rated 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
A hot bath is a fine cure for seasonable blues, and reading in the tub is a special kind of luxury – provided you don’t drop your chosen volume, of course. Make it extra luxurious with this lightweight bamboo bath tray caddy, with plenty of space for you to pair your reading with a cup of tea or coffee, and even a slot for a wine glass that’ll keep it from tipping over in between sips. Just lovely.
Keurig K-Compact
Rated 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Coffee time hits different in the winter, and when the need arises (which, for most of you, will be often), consider this K-Express from Keurig. Its famed single-serve function is super convenient, but keep in mind the gadget’s signature K-cup pods are tough to recycle. That’s changing slowly, but when I used Keurig as my caffeination go-to, I ground my own and used a reusable mesh K-cup. They’re easy to use, easy to clean, and you can get some here.

4 in 1 Phone Camera Lens Kit
Rated 4 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Wintertime can be a paradise for the keen-eyed shutterbug, and later model smartphones in have astoundingly good cameras for their size. Still, to really capture the best of the season, you can take it a little further with lens attachments. If you’re starting out, we like this four-in-one lens set. Featuring a 22X telephoto, 235° fisheye, 0.62X wide angle & 25X macro, you’ll be all set to capture whatever kind of winter milieu you like, whether it’s a sweeping landscape, or a close-up. Simply attach your preferred glass to your phone with the included clip, and you’re off to the races.

HOME AND SAFETY
LEVOIT Air Purifier
Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Dust, pet dander, mould spores, any number of irritants can build up over the course of the winter months. As with summer pollen, a good air purifier can freshen things up in your home, and this option from Levoit is a good balance of function and price point, not to mention well-reviewed by those who bought it from Amazon.ca. With a proper HEPA filtration system using three filters, it’s a good fit for any mid-sized home, and if you want a version that’s good for just a single bedroom, Levoit offers smaller models.
Honeywell Mist Humidifier
Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Cold air is dry air – that’s not great for your sinuses, nor for your skin, either. You can breathe easier with a good humidifier, especially in the bedroom, and of the many options out there, this one is the best value for money. The mist will help keep those nasal passages clear, and those who ordered it from Amazon.ca report it’s silent enough not to interrupt your sleep. It’s priced well enough to afford more than one for each bedroom, too, which we think is a good investment.
AmazonBasics Outdoor Patio Heater
Rated 4.3 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Stay outside as long as possible with this commercial-grade patio heater this season. It’s built to withstand the elements and provides a lovely glow for use in the evening. This heater features a wide 9-foot heating radius that is suitable for both restaurants and personal residential spaces. For extra convenience, it’s fully mobile on wheels, and for extra safety, a shut-off tilt valve.
Solo Stove Bonfire
Rated 4.7 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
If you’re looking to maximize your outdoor time, a fire pit is a good option because it will help illuminate your space and keep you warm when the forecast calls for cold temperatures. This stainless steel bonfire is designed to burn wood with almost no smoke because of its unique ventilation system. It’s also portable so you can take it from your backyard patio to the campsite and anywhere in between!
Rechargeable Camping Lantern
Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Flashlights are crucial in a prolonged power outage, but in most cases, something a bit more diffuse can be more useful. The upside is it doesn’t require AA batteries and features three different recharge methods: solar, hand crank, and USB cable. This lantern is also partly collapsible making it great to have for emergencies or on a camping trip as well.
Emergency Weather Radio
Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
This all-in-one power bank will help you through active weather conditions that turn into emergencies when you’re disconnected from power. It's capable of providing power to a built-in reading light and flashlight as well as outlets for USB charging.

It includes three power sources, solar, crank, and battery, with a lifetime warranty.
AUTOMOTIVE
Extendable Snow Brush & Ice Scraper
Rated 4.3 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
Much of Canada has already had its first snowfall (some earlier than most!) so you should know by now whether your old snow brush is up to the task of the coming winter. If you’ve been waiting for Black Friday to grab a replacement, here’s one good option, which we’ve recommended. Extendable up to 47 inches, with a brush head that rotates up to 270°, it’s versatile enough to meet your needs, and comes with a carry bag and a pair of gloves.
Vehicle Trunk Organizer
Rated 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
It’s easy for your trunk to descend into a cluttered mess, and you can head that process off with a proper trunk organizer like this one. Its multiple pockets and compartments should hold most of what you need. It also features a non-slip bottom and adjustable securing straps to fit any trunk. Just anchor it where you need it, and you’re golden.
Socket Wrench Set
Rated 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
For the gearhead in your family, a good ratcheting socket wrench kit is a must-have. This set, centred around a 72-tooth pear head ratchet with a 3/8-inch drive, will serve most cars and SUVs, though for larger vehicles such as Ford F-150s, you may need to purchase a larger socket separately. Be sure to consult your vehicle’s user manual before purchasing.

Air Compressor
Rated 4.4 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
If your tire pressure is getting a little low, having a good air compressor handy makes remedying the problem simpler, and there are a lot of options out there that are very portable and powered using your vehicle’s own 12V socket. This one is well-reviewed and well-priced, though the manufacturer does not recommend it for vehicles larger than SUV-sized.
LED Road Flares
Rated 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon.ca
If you’re stopped on the side of the highway and don’t expect to go anywhere straightaway, the safe thing to do is keep visible for other drivers, especially at night. LED road flares are the way to go these days, and we recommend this three pack. Each of these little flares are made with 15 LEDs and programmed with nine different flashing modes. Add in a hook and magnet to allow placement just about anywhere, and you’re golden.
