Well.ca Adds a Pets Category! [Wellness Wednesday]

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Ron

This Wellness Wednesday we are celebrating the addition of our Pets section by taking a look at some of the great product we offer to keep your loving companions in top shape!

Food

The pathway to health always starts with a good diet. Well.ca has great food choices for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters, as well as many types of fish (goldfish, koi, cichlid, tropical) and birds (canary, finch, cockatiel, parakeet, parrot, macaw). Many of our options are all natural, vegetarian and Canadian too!

Hygiene

Of course, a clean and healthy environment is important too. Frequently changing your furry friend’s bedding or litter is a great way to show them how much you love them, as well as keep them happy! And of course, waste bags keep the neighbours happy as well!

Health

Our pets, like us humans, sometimes need an extra boost to maintain peak health and fitness. Whether it be the best flea and tick prevention or treatments, or any of the vitamins and supplements available, ensuring the health of your pet will make you feel good too.

We are also holding a contest to feature our customer’s pets on our Pets page! E-mail photos of your fuzzy friends to pets@well.ca to enter!

Many men go through personal care products fairly regularly – and then forget to replace them until the situation becomes an emergency the day after they run out. Subscribe solves those problems for good! And we know that the way straight to a man’s heart is food, our last pick for the Men’s list.
Shop Men’s Grooming >>

Pantry:

Plodding through giant aisles at the grocery store is a chore we could do without. Busy professionals and parents know what they need – so why not have your shopping list sent directly to your door? Well.ca is proud to stock all sorts of excellent non-perishables!

It’s that time of year again, students are heading back to class! This year Well.ca hopes to support students by allowing them to spend less money on their essentials and spend more time focused on their studies. With our Subscription service students don’t even need to leave their dorm to keep their room stocked!

Keeping brain food on hand is key for long study sessions. Be it a simple snack or a quick meal, having your favourites delivered regularly ensures no emergency grocery trips interrupt the cramming!

No need to let razor sharp focus impact hygeine! Soap, deoderant and air fresheners keep both the student and study zone fresh and prepped for hard work.

Looking for an extra boost? Or maybe just a way to chill out after a three hour lecture? We’ve got students covered!

Well.ca’s Subscription service takes the guesswork out of keeping your mouth in tip-top shape. Subscribing to your oral health means never worrying about running low, running out, or forgetting to replace old toothbrushes again!

Did you know that dentists recommend getting a fresh toothbrush every three months? Personally, I’ve known for years, but when the deadline rolls around I always forget! Now that I am subscribed a new toothbrush shows up in my regular Well.ca delivery every three months! Best reminder ever!

We can even help you with flossing! The oft ignored but still essential technique takes some commitment to master. To support your flossing goals, subscribe to your favourite kind to encourage yourself to use up your floss by the next delivery – your gums and teeth will thank you!

Never run out of toothpaste and mouthwash by subscribing! Whether you use up a bottle every three months, or your family blows through a tube in weeks, you can customize your deliveries to match your needs!

Well.ca’s subscriptions take the pain out of purchasing – allowing you to set it and forget it! Subscribe to your favourite stuff and we’ll send it to before you even need to think about it.

No more last minute trips for emergency deodorant! Depending on you and your climate, the average stick or spray typically lasts 1-3 months. Planning ahead of Subscriptions is simple: just select the proper number of weeks and we’ll ship to you just before you run out!

Same goes for pretty much every other toiletry – shaving cream, hair gel, body wash – you can get it all to your door without even a second thought.

Come to think of it – you can even skip the grocery store and have your meals (or for the less lazy, ingredients!) shipped to your door too! Awesome!

Women’s Essentials [Subscription Week]

Posted on August 10, 2012 by Nicole

Welcome to Subscription Week! Well.ca now offers the ability to subscribe to your favourite products and have them shipped regularly straight to your door. Each day this week we’ll take a look at how the Subscribe option can make life simpler! On select products Subscribers also enjoy an additional 5% off their items. For more info on Subscribe click here. First up we’ll take a look at subscribing to women’s essentials!

Women | Men | Pantry | Oral Health | Students

If there is one thing a woman needs on a monthly basis it is feminine care products. With Well.ca’s subscription program you can say goodbye to those panic attacks of not having adequate supply of feminine products during your period. We offer products of different brands and types in the feminine care category. There is no doubt that every woman will find just what they are looking for to give them that extra feeling of security and confidence.

It is a well known fact that women should discard their mascara no later than every three months. Even though most of us women are aware of this, a lot of us don’t play by the rules! Subscribing to your favourite mascara on Well.ca will help remind you to keep your mascara fresh leaving your eyelashes long and beautiful.

My personal favourite is L’Oreal Paris Extra Volume Collagen Mascara. This mascara seems to hit every lash and stays on all day long! Vanessa, Well.ca’s Health and Beauty Category Manager, recommends Covergirl Lashblast Volume Blasting mascara. Vanessa loves this mascara because it does not clump, the brush coats all of her lashes to really open her eyes and help make her lashes look thick and full. For those of you looking for a hypoallergenic be sure to check out Almay.

Remember not to pump your mascara. Pumping adds in too much oxygen and will cause your mascara to clump and dry out faster than it should. You want it to stay fresh until your next subscription arrives in the mail!

No matter what age, height, or weight a woman is, vitamins should always be a very important part of your daily regimen. With Well.ca’s subscription program you can ensure that you always have a plentiful stock of vitamins to keep your body healthy and strong.

My personal vitamin regime involves a daily dose of Jamieson’s Multivitamins, Webber Natural’s Omega-3 Softgels, and Jamieson’s Vitamin B12.

New Baby Lines “Springing” Up at Well.ca!

Posted on March 13, 2012 by Yvonne

As we welcome spring here at Well.ca, we are also introducing a ton of exciting and fun new brands to our Baby & Kids section!

We were having such a hard time keeping up with these essential and adorable additions that we decided to blog about them and share them all with you!

Here are a few of our favourites:

The Gro Company: We love the Grobag Baby Sleep Bags! Essentially a Grobag is a “wearable blanket” designed for babies to be used instead of traditional blankets and sheets. Grobags help babies stay at the right temperature through the night without the problem of blankets and sheets being kicked off or getting tangled up. The Gro Company also has innovative sleeping aid tools to ensure a good night’s sleep such as the Gro-clock that communicates when to go back to sleep and when it’s time to get up and the Gro-egg, a digital thermometer to maintain a safe sleeping environment for your baby.

Dapple: While babies can’t grasp the concept of cleanliness, we sure do! That’s why we are thrilled to introduce Dapple. Dapple cleaning products are baby-safe and baby-specific – using non-toxic ingredients found in nature that are also proven to tackle unique baby cleaning challenges, from dried milk on bottles to sticky fingerprints on toys. We love keeping the Dapple Baby Toy & Surface Cleaner Spray handy for quick cleanups.

OXO Tot: OXO Tot products are fun and colourful! From feeding products to high chairs ,this brand is dedicated to providing products based on the concept of Universal Design to make everyday living easier! Best of all, all of the products are developed to grow with a child for use over several years or stages of development and are BPA, phthalate and PVC free. The OXO tot Sippy Cup with Handles is perfect for babies transitioning from a bottle.

Bumbo: When your baby is able to support their own head, consider getting them a Bumbo Baby Seat! Made from a soft, lightweight and non-toxic material, the Bumbo supports your baby in a comfortable upright sitting position and allows parents and caregivers the freedom to let their babies satisfy their inherent curiosity with confidence. When seated, baby’s body weight and pressure will narrow the gap above their legs slightly, gently supporting them. Add on a Bumbo Play Tray for a surface that your baby can use to play on!

Wean Green: For those of us who want to avoid plastics at all costs, Wean Green has the perfect solution. Using tempered glass, Wean Green food containers are BPA, PVC and Phalate free providing parents with safe and environmental baby products that fit into every parent’s diaper bag. Who says they are only for kids? At Well.ca we are all packing our snacks in these colourful glass containers!

Here is a full list of our newest additions and those that will be coming soon:

Gift Wrapping Services from Well.ca!

Posted on November 19, 2010 by Laura

Gift wrapping can be one of the most tedious and time consuming tasks of the holiday season. If you’re stressed out by all of the work involved, consider purchasing your gifts at Well.ca (view our gift guide here), and having them delivered to your door, wrapped and ready to go under the tree!

At Well.ca, we like to mix the business with the fun. So in order to determine how best to wrap your gifts, we had a contest to see who could do the best job of gift wrapping an order!

First we had to choose our wrapping supplies without spending too much on ribbons and bows!

Then we worked together in teams to come up with the best way of packing gifts quickly and beautifully!

That looks like a pretty tasty gift!

Once we put the finishing touches on our gifts, they were judged for affordability, speed, and presentation.

As you can see there were a variety of presentations, but in the end, the points went to the most traditional-looking gift- the one on the far right.

And here are our gift-wrappers in action!
