Overcoming the Winter Blues: 21 Strategies to Embrace the Spring Spirit Prematurely
Spring Shopping Guide: Home, Clothes, and Travel Recommendations
For a refreshing update to your home, wardrobe, and travel essentials this spring, consider the following recommendations.
Home
Transform your living space with the latest home decor trends. Amazon Prime Day 2025 in Canada (July 8-11) is expected to feature significant deals on home items such as kitchen appliances and decor. Signing up for Amazon Prime provides access to fast delivery and exclusive offers, making it an ideal choice for refreshing home essentials in spring.
Consider investing in a set of chip- and break-resistant melamine dinnerware plates and bowls, perfect for use with children or outdoors. A bunny bath mat, designed to be soft and absorbent, is also a practical addition to any bathroom. For a touch of nature, a set of tiered wicker baskets can be used to hang up plants or store fresh fruit in the kitchen.
To add a pop of colour and pattern to your walls, consider a floral tapestry or a set of giant decals, easy to arrange and non-stick. A roll of decorative window film is available, designed to shield from wandering eyes and nosy neighbours while allowing light to shine through and regulating temperature by filtering UV rays.
If you're looking for a unique way to display your favourite accessories, a jewelry tree with bird-shaped accents is an excellent option. For those who love plants, a LEGO orchid set, including a vase for display, is a fun and creative addition to any home.
Clothes
For versatile and flattering spring clothing, look for wrap dresses priced affordably (e.g., around $15) which suit various body shapes. Popular Canadian-friendly shoe options include Cushionaire sandals (comfortable Birkenstock-style but more affordable) and Vionic women's Uptown loafers, which are great for foot support and often go on sale in Canada.
For stylish Canadian-made spring clothing, Joseph Ribkoff offers elegant and versatile options, including dresses, tops, pants, jackets, and jumpsuits that are suitable for both casual and formal occasions. For outfit inspiration suited to Canada's variable spring weather, exploring current trends via platforms like TikTok is recommended.
Travel
While the search results didn’t specify spring travel deals, Amazon Prime Day and seasonal sales could include travel accessories and luggage discounts. Outfitting for travel with comfortable and stylish footwear like Vionic loafers or Cushionaire sandals can enhance travel comfort.

For home decor inspiration specifically for spring/summer 2025, ELLE Decoration Canada’s latest issue highlights seasonal trends and collaborations that could inspire your home refresh.
Accessories
A trio of hanging crystals is offered, designed to catch the sun and create shimmering rainbows.

For a unique touch, a set of bendable faux tulips can add a touch of natural beauty to any room.
Travel Essentials
A pastel tumbler with a large capacity and leakproof lid or straws is an excellent travel essential, perfect for carrying drinks on-the-go. A NEST candle, featuring a fresh blend of bamboo and white florals and a reusable glass vessel, is a luxurious addition to any travel bag.
Safety
Window decals are available to prevent birds from flying into glass, an essential safety feature for homes with birds visiting the garden.
Wall Decor
A peel-and-stick wallpaper with a fun pattern is offered for purchase, providing an easy and affordable way to update your walls. Wall planters are also available, allowing users to create a greenscape and use them for extra storage.
