Wise, Dopp Kit Gift Bundle 145-171 CAD
Wise is a brand new men’s care brand based out of Montreal. Wise caters to a new generation of conscious consumers who want thoughtful, carefully-sourced, and natural personal care products. The Gift Bundle includes a cotton canvas/organic wool bag, Red Maple Cream Pomade, and Birch Bark Daily Shampoo. All of their products are sold in recyclable and reusable packages to reduce waste. I met the guys who started this company at a trade show in NY and they were super nice people (I mean they are Canadian). They seemed to genuinely care about the quality of their product and about finding eco-friendly solutions for the men’s care market. Always happy to support the brands that are doing it right!
Native Union proves that protective cases don’t have to be ugly. I’ve had a Native Union case on my phone for probably about a year now and I love it. It’s looks super modern and well-designed. All Native Union products are made with premium materials. Their newest case is the CLIC Canvas.
