Signé HomeStyles, la marque maison du Tigre Géant, ce porte-chandelle en métal a vraiment tout pour plaire. Sa tige fine repose sur une base évasée et se termine par une petite coupe en forme de tulipe, parfaite pour y glisser une chandelle longue.
Tigre Géant vend des porte-chandelles dorés avec boucle à 5 $. Noémi Lincourt | Narcity Québec
Son petit détail irrésistible? Une boucle dorée façon ruban, placée à mi-hauteur. Avec sa quinzaine de centimètres de hauteur, cette déco peut trouver sa place à peu près n’importe où dans la maison. Tout seul sur une console, en duo sur le manteau de la cheminée ou en trio au centre de la table du réveillon, il transforme un petit coin ordinaire en décor féérique, surtout une fois les chandelles allumées.
Et bonne nouvelle pour celles et ceux qui ont de la difficulté à se décider : son fini doré va aussi bien avec une déco classique rouge et verte qu’avec un style plus épuré aux tons neutres.
À 5 $ pièce, cette petite perle prouve qu’une déco des Fêtes réussie n’a pas besoin de coûter une fortune.
You're familiar with President's Choice (PC) — the in-house grocery brand you see in stores under the Loblaw umbrella. Well, they have been working with greenhouse growers to stock your local grocery store with the taste of summer all year round.
And Canadians seem to be pretty into it. According to Mintel, 77% of Canadian consumers agree that growing produce in climate-controlled greenhouses in Canada is a good idea (Source: Mintel Reports Canada, Fruits and Vegetables, 2026).

Protected from the weather and with the light, water and temperature dialled in just right, PC's greenhouse-grown Mixiany Cherry Tomatoes On The Vine are produced using a vine-ripening technique that allows the plant to fully nourish the tomato before they are picked — resulting in an enhanced aroma, rich flavour and often sweeter taste.
Whether you're tossing them in a salad, roasting them or snacking on them one by one and enjoying that crisp "pop," they're plump little bites of summer that you can get all year round, thanks to the near-perfect growing conditions inside the greenhouse.

Likewise, PC's greenhouse-grown strawberries (grown in Canada, including Leamington, ON, aka "the greenhouse capital of North America") grow up sweet and juicy, well outside their usual growing season, so you can still enjoy them on your French toast while the snow tumbles past your window.

Then, there are multiple varieties of lettuce that you can pick up, crisp and leafy, just like the ones at the farmers market in mid-July. And because the Live Lettuce Trio is sold with their roots still attached, it helps to maximize the flavour, maintain freshness, and prolong shelf life.
The whole reason this is possible is the combination of expertise and modern agricultural innovation across North America. By growing produce year-round in protected greenhouse environments, PC and the growers they work with can offer the quality and consistency people are looking for in their fresh produce.

It also means that you can continue to support growers even when the traditional growing season wraps up and the farmers markets wind down.
So, the next time you're bundled up against the cold and craving something that tastes a little more like patio season, you might not have to look as far as you think thanks to PC's greenhouse-grown produce.
