Canadian Gift Guide

I got a little excited at the prospect of placing today’s post on June 10th. 10 for $10 on the 10th? Consider me sold. This is one of my favourite posts to do each month, hence why I’m glad I had a handful of spare, non-amazing-prize-days to load up with fun posts like this one. As always, every item here is listed for $10 (regular price) at the time of writing this, but doesn’t include shipping if bought online. Stock up to scrimp on shipping charges.
