11 Canadian products I'm shopping this week on Amazon: Cleaning products, toilet paper and more
Have you been keeping up with Amazon's Canada Showcase? As a Canadian shopping editor, it's where I've been doing a lot of my buying lately. This hand-curated section is packed with everything from made-in-Canada household products to must-read novels by local authors.
It's an easy way to support Canadian brands, personalities, products and more (and super convenient, thanks to free shipping with Prime on Canadian products). Plus, you'd be surprised at how many hidden gems are actually from our homeland. This week's finds are particularly good. If you're looking for inspiration, I've rounded up 11 things I'm adding to my cart this week. Keep scrolling to dive in.Lately, I've been trying to prioritize my hydration — and have been looking into electrolyte drinks. These Organika packets have been a top choice for me, as they're sugar-free and have 110mg of vitamin C. Plus, they're easy to pop into my reusable water bottles. There are many flavours available, but these lemon iced tea ones are calling my name.
I've heard great things about this novel by Canadian author Carley Fortune. It has quickly earned a no.2 spot on Amazon Charts, and it boasts tons of rave reviews. "It had me so enthralled," shares one five-star reviewer. It seems like the perfect summer read — and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Now this product is interesting. It's a no-rinse, plant-derived hand-wash detergent. Yes, you read that correctly — no endless rinsing and no residue will be left behind. I've been wanting to ditch the toxic detergent and swap for something natural, and this might be the perfect start. According to one shopper, it's a "fabulous product for washing delicates!"
I haven't had cereal in a minute, so when I saw this cinnamon vanilla flavour of Shreddies, I immediately added it to my cart. Not only does it sound incredibly tasty, but it's very high in fibre, which is a bonus.
There's not much to say about this one, other than the fact that I'm on the brink of running out of TP, so it's time to replenish the stash. This pack comes with 12 large rolls that amount to 24 regular rolls.
As mentioned above, I am trying to steer clear of any unnecessary toxins in my detergent. Attitude is not only made in Canada but also made with 98 per cent naturally sourced ingredients, which is exactly what I'm looking for.
I don't know about you, but I can't get enough Mini Eggs. As one reviewer puts it, "You have to watch yourself, you might eat the whole bag." There's nothing wrong with having a sweet treat in the house, and I've sadly run out — which is why these are headed to my house now.
My hair has been feeling a little dull lately, which is why I've been on the hunt for products that will give it a little zhuzhing up. This hair mask claims to soften, strengthen and add shine, which is just what my locks need. One promising review says it's the "best hair mask ever."
Pamela Anderson, our Canadian queen, has one of the most beautiful cookbooks I've ever seen — and I can't help but wonder why I don't already own it. It contains 80 recipes that intend to nourish the soul, earning the title no.1 Most Gifted in the category of Vegetable Cookbooks on Amazon.
I love a good house spray, but not so much the ingredients in them. However, this air freshener spray by Attitude features 96 per cent natural origin ingredients, which makes me feel a lot better. It's perfect for freshening up the living room, bedroom, bathroom or any other space without burning a candle or using a plug-in.
I personally prefer foaming cleansers; something about the foaming action feels like it's doing a better job cleaning my skin. This Marcelle one is fragrance-free and won't clog pores, making it a great choice for sensitive skin. Shoppers confirm it's "gentle" and "non-irritating."

Jeff Bezos' Miami Neighbor Sells Plot of Land for $110M
The Miami parcel of land sold to a buyer — and it wasn't Bezos. When Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez return from their wedding, which is set to take place later this month in Venice, Italy, the newlyweds might come home to some new neighbors — and construction. In December 2024, a 1.84-acre plot of land at 9 Indian Creek Island Road went up for sale for $200 million. But what made this lot special wasn't the breathtaking views of the water or even the super-exclusive location on Miami's "Billionaire Bunker." It's the neighbor that mattered most: Bezos. Related: Want to Be Jeff Bezos's Next Door Neighbor in Miami? You Now Can — For $200M Courtesy of Reznik Group Real estate agents speculated (and based on the listing price, the sellers presumably hoped) that the world's third-richest person would buy the parcel. But that didn't happen, according to the Wall Street Journal. Instead, a luxury home builder who reportedly drew up plans for a mansion on the land, told the outlet that the buyer is an "international finance executive" who paid $110 million for the site — $90 million off the original ask. The seller, meanwhile, paid about $27.5 million for the property in 2018, per local records. 11 Indian Creek Island Road is for sale via Reznik Group - Courtesy of Reznik Group Maybe Bezos didn't need the spread. The Amazon founder already owns three properties on the man-made barrier island: two next to each other and one on the other side of Indian Creek, for a total of about $237 million. Other island residents include Tom Brady, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, and Carl Icahn.

Amazon Deals of the Day: Lightning Deal Slashes 50% Off Anker's Portable Charger
Amazon sells a vast panoply of products, with new ones arriving daily. The retail giant carries everything from home essentials to tech gear and wellness items. As much as it loves adding new products, Amazon also loves cutting prices. Deciding which deals are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job -- our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you. Today, we spotted one of our favorite power banks down to half the regular price, but hurry supplies are going quick. We also found a two-pack of indoor Ring cameras for $60, down from $100. And finally, if you're looking for a solid pair of affordable headphones, Sony's budget pair just got a nice $22 price cut. Most of us are constantly on the go, which means we're bringing our devices with us. Keeping our devices like our phones charged can be a hassle, especially if you're hunting around for a place to plug your charger in. A portable charger can help you keep your phone powered up no matter where you are. The Anker Zolo portable power bank is our favorite portable charger for iPhones. We love it because it's pretty compact for an 10,000-mAh battery. It also has a pretty strong 30W charging power. It also has a LED screen with a battery life indicator. The USB-C cable tucks into a port on the battery, turning the cable into a lanyard when you don't have it plugged into a device. Normally $26, the black and pink color options are now down to $13. But hurry, this lighting deal is going fast. Protecting our homes is important to all of us, with many of us adding video doorbells and other types of security cams to the outside of our houses -- but what about the inside? Indoor security cameras can help you keep an eye on important areas, such as entryways, as well as your family and pets, no matter where you are. Many even opt to use these cams as a baby monitor. The Ring Stick Up Pro camera is our favorite portable indoor security camera of 2025. This camera can capture everything with 1080p HD video with features like Live View and Color Night Vision so you won't miss a thing. You can also get notifications to your phone when the camera detects movement, in real time. It works with Alexa so you can have a hands-free experience, too. You can score a two pack for $60 right now, bringing each camera to just $30. Since one camera normally retails for $60, you're getting these for basically half-off. Just like all nice things, much of the highest-quality audio gear is far from the cheapest. But we spotted a deal that can help bring down the cost of wireless headphones for bargain hunters. The Sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones are back to down to their all-time low price of $38. These headphones are our favorite on-ear budget headphones of 2025. They are lightweight and relatively comfortable considering they are on-ear headphones, and they're a good option for someone looking for something simple, as these headphones lack noise canceling and aren't packed with the high end features you'll find on other pairs. However, they have an exceptional battery life of up to 50 hours. They also have multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you can pair them with two devices at the same time. Just about every color is on sale right now, so grab yours while you can. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET combs through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathers the best deals for you.
