With what seems like so much division in the world today, making extra time to focus on love, kindness, romance, and friendship seems long overdue. So, whether you’re happily married, newly dating, celebrating an outstanding friendship, or showing yourself some extra love and self-care, we’ve put together the ultimate gift guide to help.
For your significant other
Pop the cork and open the chocolates. Traditional V-Day gifts like wine and chocolate are traditions for a reason—they’re delicious. But if your loved one isn’t one to sip champagne and their sweet tooth isn’t craving caramels and bon bons, consider something custom and personalized like a framed photo you can proudly display. The team at Urban Art can assist you and make any Instagram-worthy moment a beautiful piece of art for your home.
For your bestie
A cute new top? A sweet treat? A movie night? There are countless ways to thank your BFFs for being there and plan a fun night out. Reserve seats to a funny movie that’s about to hit the theatre, grab dinner and catch up, or put together a cute care package and send it off to your out-of-town pals for a sweet surprise.
For the kiddos
If you’ve got little loves in your life, look for gifts that encourage you to spend time together. Consider fun craft kits that let your imagination and creativity run wild (psst, Dollarama is a great spot to stock up on craft supplies); board games from Mastermind Toys that put your sportsmanship and strategy to the test; or swing by Coles for a new book for story time that you can read together.
For yourself
You know what you want better than anyone else. Treat yourself this Valentine’s Day in whatever way you desire. Splurge on a visit to Chatters or Shears, relax with a mani-pedi at Elegance Nails, buy your own chocolates, take yourself out for dinner or skip the traditions altogether and get cozy in new pjs from La Vie en Rose and relax at home. However you want to spend the day, be sure to show yourself some tender love and care, too.
