The seasons are shifting, and here at Caribou Gifts we’re leaning into the cozy comforts and self-care rituals that September brings. Each month our staff hand-selects products they truly love—items we use ourselves, can’t stop talking about, and think you’ll enjoy too.
Here’s what’s topping our list this month:
Julie’s Pick: Vitamin C Melting Hydrogel Mask
Julie is all about skincare this month and has been raving about the Vitamin C Melting Hydrogel Mask. Infused with brightening vitamin C and niacinamide, this mask hydrates while giving skin that fresh, radiant look. Julie loved how it left her skin feeling glowy and revitalized—perfect for a little post-summer refresh.
If you’re looking for a self-care treat that delivers instant results, this mask is the one.
Taylor’s Pick: Autumn Glow Candle
Taylor’s choice is quintessentially Fall: the Autumn Glow Candle. This warm, comforting scent captures the feeling of a cozy kitchen in autumn—freshly baked bread, pastries, and that golden-hour glow that comes with fall evenings.
For Taylor, this candle brings instant coziness and seasonal cheer. It’s the easiest way to set the mood for a fall night in.
Megan’s Pick: Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars
This month, Megan is championing a big change she’s made in her own routine—she’s completely switched over to using solid shampoo and conditioner bars. Handmade by Caley-Beth Studio (just steps away from our Mount Pleasant location!), these bars are eco-friendly, travel-friendly, and leave hair feeling soft, healthy, and refreshed.
Megan loves how her hair feels since making the switch, and the fact that they’re crafted locally makes them even more special.
Jaidyn’s Pick: Vanilla Lip Balm
Jaidyn is keeping things simple and practical with the Vanilla Lip Balm from Epic Blend. It’s soft, nourishing, and just the right amount of sweet. Jaidyn carries it everywhere—whether it’s in a pocket, backpack, or purse—and swears by it for keeping lips smooth all day.
Sometimes it’s the little essentials that make the biggest difference, and this lip balm definitely delivers.
Uma’s Pick:
Uma’s September favourite is all about fun and stress relief—the squishy, colourful NeeDoh collection. These satisfying little toys are perfect for keeping at your desk, tossing in a bag, or gifting to kids (and kids at heart).
With their bright colours, soft texture, and irresistible squish factor, NeeDohs are both playful and calming. They make excellent stocking stuffers, classroom rewards, or just an everyday pick-me-up when you need something soothing in your hands. Uma loves how they always bring a smile, no matter your age.
That wraps up our September Staff Picks! From cozy candles to skincare treats and local eco-friendly finds, our team’s favourites are all about making the season brighter, warmer, and a little more special.
