Whether you are coupled up or not Valentine’s Day can seem quite passe, but love is universal, and it should still be celebrated. This year we have focussed on locally made, Canadian companies for thoughtful gifts for your Valentine and Galentine.

HOST A SPECIAL TEA PARTY FOR TWO
NANA + LIVY’s Rose Tea Bath will give you the most therapeutic bath experience that will soak away aches and pains. It helps soothe your sore body and nourish your skin with a mixture of Himalayan pink salts and dried rose petals and buds. Let your body sink into the luxurious tea bath and your skin absorb the beneficial nutrients. Also available in Lavender.

DOES YOUR SKIN HAVE A SWEET TOOTH?
Inspired by popular desserts around the world, Choco Soaps are handcrafted with real food ingredients and cocoa butter — the same ingredient used in rich decadent chocolate! Be clean, smell sweet, let your beauty start with desserts. Available in Neapolitan, London Fog, Mocha and Ujikintoki. 

GET IN THE MOOD
Light a candle or a few to get in the mood. LOVER by CONNECTION CANDLE CO. has notes of baked apples, cinnamon, toasted almonds, warm caramel. Have you seen the goddess forms made of beeswax and soy ~ we are in love! 

KISSABLE LIPS
Sensitive and delicate, your lips need a little help to stay soft and well moisturized, BKIND lip balm will create a protective barrier against further cracking and give long-term hydration to your lips, leaving a sweet scent of berries and a wonderful glossy finish.
‘Berries’ lip balm.
