What's with the name?

We get asked that all the time!

In personality temperament theory, orange is the colour that identifies risk takers – those who want to enjoy life, will go against the main stream and think outside the box. These people are able to find anything you need regardless of when you need it.  

And fish, well they never stand still, they are always moving and checking out what is happening around them... you know eat or be eaten.

Put them together and that is what Orangefish is all about!

Giving Back & Supporting Community

Orangefish supports charitable organizations and has donated to a variety of different causes over the years.

Charitable Organizations and Causes that Orangefish Supports
In 2020, we are focused on the Daily Bread Food Bank.

Daily Food Bank



Janet, the founder of Orangefish is a firm believer that NO ONE in Canada should ever have to worry about not having food to eat. The access to food is a human right and not a privilege. No one should ever go hungry.

The Daily Food Bank serves over 5000 people per week and that number is rising with impact that Covid has had on our workforce. I am happy to support the Daily Bread Food Bank and their mission to end hunger in Toronto.

A portion of all of our sales gets donated each quarter.

Hi! I am Janet. I started Orangefish in 2006 with a dream of sharing made in Canada creations and since then have featured over 10,000 products with over 75% created by amazing and talented Canadians! Yes, it sounds insane but is all true!

I am here to help you find just want you are looking for – whether it is something for yourself or a gift for friends and family. I want to help you be satisfied with your online shopping experience. I am super creative, resourceful and love to share the amazing things I find – that could be products, information or ideas.

Because I want to make sure you are happy with your purchase, I keep myself busy finding amazing creations that you can’t find anywhere else. I am constantly searching for new warm and cozy or fun finds to leave you feeling happy and joyful about your purchase. I am also constantly looking for new ways to enhance your online shopping experience.

I know you love shopping from the comfort of your own home, while having your favorite drink and wearing comfy clothes. Don’t worry you can thank me later… I totally get it!

Our warm and cozy Canadian site has over 2,000 products. I know, it’s kind of crazy considering I am a small business and I pretty much do it all. So there’s no way you won’t find something you love. And shipping is fast AF. (And free over $75*) Did I mention that Orangefish has the best prices on the web? Cause it’s true. Again, you’re welcome.

So, that’s Orangefish. Honestly, I am so glad you swiped right on Orangefish. I am super excited to be included in your digital world. 

And, I can't wait to learn more about you and how I can help make your life easier.
