Gift Ideas for 2025

For the Pet Owner Who Loves to Travel

A one-year membership to TrustedHousesitters is the perfect gift for pet owners who love to travel. With a price starting from $149, this membership allows pet owners to post their home and time away on the app and select from user-rated applicants who will take care of their pets and keep an eye on the property in exchange for free accommodation. This is a cheaper alternative to keeping pets in a kennel during vacation, which can be costly.

For those who prefer pet sitting for a day, a Rover gift card is a great option. This allows the recipient to opt for a paid, vetted local sitter instead of hosting a traveler.

For the Person Who Wants to Save Money

The Google Nest Smart Wi-Fi Thermostat is a practical gift for those looking to save money. Priced at 140 CAD, this programmable thermostat allows users to control the heating and cooling from their phone, resulting in energy savings. Additionally, Prince Edward Island residents can receive an instant rebate of $89.99 through the EfficiencyPEI Instant Savings Program.

For older Canadian homes, the Mysa Smart Thermostat for Electric Baseboard Heaters may be a more suitable option, priced at $145 CAD.

For the Friend Who Loves Road Trips

A Portable Car Jumper with Air Compressor is a great gift for road trip enthusiasts. Priced from 90 CAD, this compact jump starter and compressor combination can help reduce tow truck calls and stress on the road.

For frequent travelers, a CAA membership, priced between $30-$149/year, can provide additional benefits such as roadside assistance, discounts on gas, rental cars, hotels, and more.

For the Person Who Buys in Bulk

A one-year Costco Gold Star membership, priced at 65 CAD, is a great gift for those who buy in bulk. This membership provides access to big savings all year round, as well as a legendary return policy. Gift memberships can be purchased online or in-store, but it’s essential to choose the right product before checking out.

To make the gift even more special, an Executive Membership, priced at $130 CAD, can provide 2% back on purchases.

For the Person Who Loves Cooking

The Starfrit hot air fryer and convection oven, priced at 150 CAD, is a great gift for cooking enthusiasts. This smart toaster can fry, bake, and reheat while using less energy than a full oven. As a Canadian company, Starfrit offers compact, efficient, and affordable multi-purpose countertop ovens.

For the Friend Who is Always on the Go

A KeepCup, priced from 42 CAD, is a great gift for those who are always on the go. This reusable cup makes it easy to enjoy favorite beverages while reducing waste.
