Bailly Girl Power Roll-On Perfume —
This Halifax-based fragrance brand specializes in roll-on perfume and their signature Girl Power scents – Brilliance, Excellent and Resilience ($30 each) – are 100 percent vegan and made with natural ingredients like bergamot, tarragon, black currant and musk. Co-founders (and best friends) Ariel Gough and Edwina Govindsamy wanted to create products that celebrate female empowerment, along with a business that gives back: Five dollars from every purchase of the Girl Power collection benefits the Just Like My Child Foundation's Girl Power Project.

tREv Clothing HVLIFVX Hoodie —
Can you name all three of the Halifax landmarks on this hooded sweatshirt ($75)? Show your East Coast pride with this hooded sweatshirt that features the Macdonald and MacKay bridges, the Tuft’s Cove smokestacks, the Peggy’s Cove lighthouse and the Nova Scotia flag. tREv Clothing founder Trevor Silver’s design career started when he made his first T-shirt while attending law school at Dalhousie University. Now a full-fledged business, his collection includes hats, umbrellas, scrunchies and more.

The Lookout Art Print by Robyn Flannigan —
No trip to Newfoundland and Labrador is complete without a stop at the province’s iconic lookout spot, Signal Hill. Illustrator Robyn Flannigan’s art print The Lookout ($21, Society6) depicts a classic St. John’s scene: A row of cars parked at the National Historic Site as the sun sets over the Atlantic Ocean. The cotton-candy-sky print is also available on a pillow, tote, shower curtain and even a bedspread.

Kettle Black Medium Roast Coffee Beans —
Locals flock to this yellow-fronted café in downtown Charlottetown for shawarma wraps, turmeric lattes and, of course, the coffee. With over 30 years of experience, Abu Mahood roasts the beans to perfection in-house. Thankfully, there is an online shop – with shipping available across Canada – so those outside of Prince Edward Island can enjoy medium roast coffee beans ($18) from home.

Licca Saint John Greeting Card —
Calligraphy artist Rika Kikuchi creates art prints and greeting cards that combine traditional Japanese methods with modern design out of her workshop in Quispamsis, New Brunswick. Whether you send it to someone or frame it for yourself, this greeting card featuring an illustration of Saint John ($6, Etsy) provides some Maritimes flair.

Newfoundland Salt Company Green Alder Sea Salt —
If you can’t go to the ocean, bring the ocean home in the form of crisp sea salt made from the waters of Trinity Bay in Bonavista, Newfoundland. Flavoured with handpicked buds from surrounding alder trees, this versatile finishing salt ($15) – floral and earthy with a hint of citrus – goes with everything from chicken, fish and pork to roasted vegetables and green salads. Peter Burt, a former chef de cuisine at Raymonds Restaurant in St. John’s, and his partner, Robin Crane, started the company when they moved back to their home province after various stints across Canada and abroad.

The only thing you’re missing is fixings for s’mores.
