Summer has finally arrived, and now is the perfect opportunity to recharge after months of hard work and dedication. This well-earned break is all about you! Whether that means staying hydrated during outdoor adventures, indulging in a treat, or finding fun ways to unplug and unwind, we’ve handpicked some essential finds to help you make the most of your downtime. From cool beverages to portable must-haves and screen-free entertainment, these practical picks are here to help you relax and return to the classroom feeling refreshed. This summer, take time for yourself—your way.

Collective Arts Beverages

Talk about the perfect blend of creativity and refreshment. Collective Arts is revolutionizing the beverage game with their incredible mission of supporting local Canadian artists. Every single can and bottle becomes a mini art gallery, showcasing stunning designs from talented artists. How cool is that? Whether you’re in the mood for something with a little buzz or prefer to keep things alcohol-free, they’ve got your stay-cation vibes completely covered. The lovely folks at Collective Arts Beverages are offering our readers $10 off their first order with the code TEACHMAG. Valid until August 31, 2025. Shipping within Ontario only.

Collapsible Water Bottle

Even when you’re in full relaxation mode, keeping up with your water intake is absolutely essential. These super lightweight, collapsible water bottles are perfect for everyone, whether you’re planning an exciting hike through scenic trails or taking a leisurely stroll around your neighbourhood. They fold down into almost nothing when you’re done—no more bulky bottles cluttering up your space or weighing down your bag. If your furry friends tag along, these bottles make it easy to keep them hydrated too. Feather-light, incredibly portable, and a breeze to clean, they’re a great companion for any summer adventure.

Digital Detox Games

Put the devices away—this digital detox game is your go-to for genuine face-to-face connections. With 150 creative cards, it’s packed with playful challenges like Follow the Leader, hilarious Would You Rather scenarios, and calming Mindful Moments. There’s something for everyone. Perfect for busy parents, it can also double as a positive parenting tool, sparking conversation and making it easy to connect without a single device in sight!

Disposable Cameras

There’s something wonderfully freeing about using a disposable camera—no screen to check, no retakes to perfect. With only 27 or 36 shots available, you naturally become more thoughtful, focusing on the moments that truly matter. The soft imperfections and nostalgic feel of film offer a charm that digital can’t match. Plus, the anticipation of getting your photos developed gives the whole experience a deeper meaning. These cameras offer a simple way to stay present during your downtime while still preserving those special memories.

Herschel Mini-Backpack

Sometimes the best adventures begin when you’re travelling light; just the essentials and off you go. Whether you’re enjoying a peaceful walk or settling into the perfect outdoor reading spot, this perfectly sized mini Retreat Backpack carries everything you need without weighing you down. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester, it features a front pocket plus internal storage sleeves for your water bottle, snacks, and other summer essentials. After months of hard work, this compact companion makes it effortless to step outside, breathe deeply, and focus on yourself.
