2. A silicone ring for the person who always loses, scratches, or tarnishes their jewelry. It's extemely durable and you can wear it while you’re doing just about just about anything (like working out, gardening, or swimming).
The flexible silicone makes them super comfortable to wear, and they're completely waterproof. I don't have to worry about taking them off when I wash my hands or getting those annoying green stain on my fingers like I do when I wear costume jewelry. They also come in a variety of different colours, textures, finishes, and sizes, so I can create a customized look every time.

10. A pair of hand masks that'll return some much-needed moisture to your dry skin. They're lined with a coconut-infused serum that'll soften and hydrate your skin, and they use your natural body heat to create warmth, so the oils penetrate deep into your dermis.
My hands have been really dry lately, so I decided to treat myself to a hand mask. The gloves feel a little cold at first, but the sticker tabs at the wrists help seal the ends. And once they’re sealed, the heat from your hands make the mask super warm and help the serum sink deeper into your skin. I left them on for about 15 minutes and my hands were so soft afterward.

The wire inside each one gives them a bit of structure, and I can twist the ends around each other so they won't unravel. They're so versatile!

"I LOVE the pink case and the bright green case, as they add pops of colour to every outfit. From someone who drops their phone ALL the time, I can personally assure you that these cases are super durable and protect my screen. And to top it off, I really like the fact that Felony Case is a brand from Toronto so you can shop knowing you support Canadian businesses." —Liza Hicks
