With the kids back in school, and many of us continuing to work part-time, or full time from home, we’ve rounded up the latest products that will keep you safe, comfortable, healthy, and environmentally conscious!
Masks
These are from Six Sox. They use a special silver technology that’s infused into the material making the outer layer water-repellent. They have a metal clip at the top so they can fit tightly around your nose and they’re pleated so they fit someone who wears a small, medium, large or XL. They come in five solid colours and they’re really soft and breathable.

Looking for good quality masks for kids? These organic cotton face masks from Happy Natural Products are great for kids. Each mask has 3 layers, with the middle layer serving as a built-in dust and particle filter. They come in adult and kid’s sizes, but since you asked about kid sizes…their kid’s masks are for ages 3 to 8, and they come in cute colours. Both masks wash really well, and have adjustable ear straps. Happy’s kid’s masks have stoppers at the end so the kids can’t pull the toggles off.
