Baby it’s cold outside 
This is the time when we love to stay in and get all warm and cozy. Frankly, it’s the only good part of winter. Here’s the Rakuten snow essentials list to stay warm and cozy indoors, while also preparing for the outdoors (because we can’t stay inside for 4 months).
Snow = Slopes
Preparing to the hit the slopes? Or any other snow-related outdoor activities? No problemo. Check out Skis.com and Snowboards.com for all your gear, as well as Sport Chek for more goodness.
Car Necessities
Whether you need winter tires, rotate your tires, or even just get a tune-up to make sure your car is road safe, visit Tire Rack and 4 Wheel Parts. You can also visit the Rakuten gift card shop and load up on Canadian Tire gift cards to help save more money.
Shovels and More
Clear the driveway of snow with proper shovels or a snow blower at Rona. You can also get pet-friendly salt so your driveway doesn’t freeze over (but don’t forget to be kind to paws!), and any other necessary outdoor needs.
Home Things
You might want to consider getting a humidifier to freshen up the air or small heaters from our friends at Dyson. These will help keep your home comfy and cozy all season long. If you need extra blankets, mugs for your favourite cup of hot chocolate, scented candles, or anything else, Hudson’s Bay has you covered.
Spa@Home
Why not pamper yourself while you’re bunkering down? DIY a day at the spa, with your favourites from The Body Shop, Origins and Shoppers Drug Mart.
Head to Toe
Whether you choose to stay in or go out, be sure to outfit yourself accordingly. Get your favourite comfy PJs and slippers from La Vie en Rose, keep your feet warm and dry with UGG and Hunter Boots, and be sure to layer your clothes. Need to keep the cold out?
