IF YOU CATCH SIGHT OF HUGUES BOIVIN, HE’S PROBABLY GOING BY YOU IN A FLASH. SNOWBOARDING, MOUNTAIN BIKING AND COMPETITIVE BOXING ARE JUST SOME OF THE FAST-PACED SPORTS HE ENJOYS, IN BETWEEN HIS BUSY JOB WITH A SPORTS MEDICINE COMPANY AND CARING FOR HIS BEAUTIFUL THREE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

And online shopping, Hugues finds, dovetails perfectly into that active lifestyle. “As a guy, especially, I don’t enjoy going shopping to five stores to find what I want,” he explains. “But you shop online and in ten minutes you’re done. Fast! You don’t even have to drive anywhere.” Hugues adds that he’ll also check out flyers and offers he receives in the mail and then order the items he wants online.

From his home, nestled in the woods near a river in picturesque Wakefield, Quebec, Hugues appreciates the freedom to shop the world through the Internet. “If you go to the big-box stores, you’ll be able to buy what everybody else has,” he says. “But online, you can find things that are unique and different.”

In addition to finding a “princess” horse helmet and painting materials for his daughter, Hugues has purchased skeletal hand and wrist models for his job. “Canada Post delivers them and the process is easy. It’s perfect!”
