Camping enthusiasts – our team has put together 6 essentials to toss in your bag and transform your next weekend into a glamping experience! Practical, beautiful, and eco-friendly items designed to help you savour the great outdoors, no compromises!
1. A biodegradable dish soap…that smells absolutely divine
Because a true moment in nature extends to every little daily ritual. SOJA&CO.'s biodegradable dish soap is designed for those who want to keep their eco-conscious habits going, even kilometres away from the city.
Ultra effective and gentle on the environment, it rinses easily with minimal water — perfect for camping! And that's not all: its fresh, soothing fragrances (like Eucalyptus + Grapefruit, Lemon, Sage & Rosemary or Melon + Salty Air) turn dishwashing into a sensory, luxurious moment (even in nature)!
2. A mosquito-repellent candle that's effective… and beautiful!
Nothing ruins a lovely evening under the stars quite like a swarm of mosquitoes. Luckily, the SOJA&CO. Citronella + Palmarosa mosquito-repellent candle has your outdoor evenings covered!
Formulated with citronella, palmarosa, and eucalyptol essential oils, it keeps insects at bay while releasing a soft, fresh, herbaceous scent. Its minimalist amber jar fits perfectly in your bag and looks stunning at the centre of a picnic table (needless to say, it instantly elevates your dinners under the stars)! Definitely a little luxury you don't want to leave behind.
3. A rechargeable lantern with a design-forward look
When the sun sets, all it takes is a well-designed light to keep the magic going. This compact, rechargeable Snow Peak lantern, available at Altitude Sports, lights up your camping evenings with softness and versatility.
It offers multiple brightness levels to suit your needs, whether you're reading in the tent, cooking at dusk, or simply enjoying the night. Its modern, clean design makes it an instant style favourite — the perfect balance of technology and aesthetics!
4. The perfect duo for caffeine-fuelled mornings
There's something magical about sipping a hot coffee while the forest wakes up. With the YETI 236 ml Stackable Cup, your drink stays hot for hours — ideal for those crisp camping mornings.
Sturdy, stylish, and built for adventure, it goes everywhere with you. And for a barista-worthy coffee? Add the compact, lightweight manual coffee maker, no electricity needed, designed to fit directly on the cup! It's the perfect combo to turn every wake-up into a comforting ritual.
5. An outdoor bag as practical as it is stylish
When camping, staying organized makes all the difference. The DryPeak utility bag by ciao totes is spacious, rugged, and built to last.
Made with weather-resistant materials, it fits everything you need — from your change of clothes to your mosquito-repellent candle! Its wide opening and sturdy handles make it an ultra-practical companion around the campsite, while its trendy design delights those who like their camping with a side of style.
6. Mölkky
Because the goal of camping is also to take the time to have fun! Mölkky (the Finnish skittles game) fits right into your late afternoons in nature.
Light to carry, easy to learn but surprisingly strategic, it brings everyone together for a convivial moment. Its beautiful wooden pieces will also charm fans of natural design. Good news: you can easily find this game at Rossy, a local Quebec company!
No need to sacrifice style or comfort to enjoy nature. These essentials — designed to balance practicality, eco-responsibility, and a touch of luxury — transform every moment outdoors into a true wellness escape.
From biodegradable dish soap with refined scents to a sunset game of Mölkky, everything is in place to rediscover camping in a whole new way.
Happy time in nature!
