Would You Be Mine?
Valentine’s Day is just ten days away people. No matter how you celebrate it – hanging with friends, a quiet evening at home with your guy or gal, or perhaps going all out with a sweeping romantic getaway, a little token for your love is a welcome treat, any time of year. I’ve rounded up 10 truly romantic gift picks for your consideration – for Valentine’s Day or beyond.
Love Haikubes – $18 @ Amazon.ca
They say love is ‘more than words’ but sometimes it can be hard to spit ’em out. This creative ‘game’ includes 60 word cubes and 2 inspiration cubes that you simply roll and combine to create a custom, romantic haiku that praises everything from your love’s sparkling personality to their prowess in the bedroom. A creative, clever gift whenever you’re in need of a way to express your deepest feelings.
philosophy ‘my heart to yours’ gift set – $29 @ Hudson’s Bay
Not to go all Jem and the Holograms on you, but philosophy’s new sweetheart-themed My Heart To Yours scent is truly, truly outrageous. To which I mean, please don’t come crying to me when you become a lotion / body wash / lip gloss addict after trying it. The scent somehow magically blends powdered sugar with creamy dreamy vanilla and zesty citrus for an altogether scrumptious aroma. It’s available in a large-sized body lotion and 3-in-1 shower gel / bubble bath / shampoo formulation, or you can pick up this sweet as can be gift set as a fun Valentine’s gift for couples that have been dating for just a little bit, or for many years in. J’adore.
Find It In Everything by Drew Barrymore – $20 @ Indigo
If there were ever a celebrity that was going to release a photography book consisting entirely of photos of ‘found’ hearts, Drew Barrymore would be amongst the most likely candidates be behind it. Such is the case with this surprisingly affordable photo book, featuring photos from the hobbyist photographer’s personal collection apparently amassed over years and years. Not only is it romantically Valentine’s-approved, it’s also just a quirky conversation starter for your coffee table collection. Trust me, not too many people will be able to resist cracking this bad boy open once they spot the ‘author’s name.
GIRIDDIN Crossbody Purses – $30 each @ ALDO
Adorable, right? These oh so cute faux leather heart-shaped satchels are the perfect accessory for your Valentine’s wardrobe (or for those special date nights, period). Available in three pretty pastel shades, they feature super fun details, like a cupid’s arrow zipper pull, a shiny gold chain, and of course, the ‘talking hearts’-style messaging that channels romantic inclinations of yesteryear. A fun gift for a single girl friend or perhaps for your actual girlfriend.
Balenciaga Rosabotanica Perfume – $84 – $130 @ Hudson’s Bay, Holt Renfrew, Sephora, Shopper’s Drug Mart
One of my most favourite scents of the last few years was Balenciaga’s Florabotanica, which I described a ‘modern floral’. As someone that doesn’t usually gravitate to florals, it’s impressive they’ve won me over yet again with their latest incarnation. As you can imagine, the core note here is Rose, although it’s labelled curiously as ‘Experimental Rose’. Despite the tendency for that particular flower to be really heady and dominating, it’s still kept light and fresh thanks to offsetting fig leaf, grapefruit, and one of my fave trendy notes, pink pepper. The overall result is something that orients itself more toward woodsy and earthy – like an armful of freshly picked roses, dirt still clinging to the thorns. To which I say – if you aren’t going to give her actual flowers this Valentine’s Day, this is your next best bet.
La Vie En Rose Valentine’s Collect Lingerie – From $19.95
I feel like a scientific study must exist somewhere that proves that you instantly feel 10x sexier when you’ve got on a fantasti and flattering piece of lingerie. The folks at La Vie En Rose get it and have delivered in spades this Valentine’s. If you’re intimately familiar with your paramour’s undergarments, consider taking a poke around their lingerie draw to spot sizes and then shop accordingly. From frothy cutout teddies to adorable satin tanks with matching lace boyshorts to plush, heart-embellished robes, every piece of their Valentine’s collection has tons of adorable little details that’ll make you squeal and make his jaw drop. I mean really – the bras have crystal heart beads guys. Bonus points for packing it in a heart-shaped box.
Sensual Yoga for Couples DVD – $16 @ Amazon
You know what they say, the couple that Namastes together, stays together. This DVD is designed to get you and your partner in tune with another’s natural rhythms – while also calming your minds, allowing you to ease tension, and *cough*, become more limber in the process. Apart from the physical hijinks that’ll either leave you in commiserating giggles or pulse-pounding friskiness, at the very least you’ll be getting a nice workout and stretch in.
Charlotte Olympia Love Me Heart Applique Pump – $1,660 @ Neiman Marcus
A Valentine’s Day gift guide wouldn’t be complete without a slice of fantasy, am I right? These 5″ stunners are made from leather with suede applique of precious hearts in either pretty bubblegum pink, neutral dusty rose, or classic ravishing red. Featuring the brand’s signature (and might I add, a little scary) island platform, you’ll definitely paint the town red with these stilettos on your feet. A girl can dream, right?
Valentine’s Day Collection – $6.95 – $11.95 @ Lush
The body gurus at Lush have come up with plenty of sensual ways to get lathered up for Valentine’s Day. First off, consider taking a bath with the brand new Love Locket Bath Bomb and get surrounded by cute confetti hearts while inhaling the sweet smells of vanilla and jasmine – this nifty gift actually splits into three pieces for up to 3 times the fun. Showering up for a hot date? The new Neon Love soap features a cute heart-shaped cutout with soothing soy yogurt surrounded by a pretty pink citrusy passionfruit square. Spending an evening in with your love? The Close To You and Tender is the Night massage bars melt right onto your skin, for smooth, spreadable massage oil. Finally, consider puckering up with The Kiss lip gloss; designed to moisturize, sparkle, and taste yummy all in one little pot. Whether you buy these fun items on their own or indulge in one of the three limited edition Valentine’s gift boxes, Lush has you covered this Valentine’s Day.
Tic Tac Toe Pillow – $50 @ Julie Mollo
Take the classic game of X’s and O’s and bring it to life with this fun, white sequinned pillow. You and your paramour can try and outbrain each other by placing the heart-shaped O’s and glittery X’s on the included velcro patches. Want to make things extra fun? Make it a duel – whoever wins each round gets a reward from the other, or perhaps every placement of a piece requires a kiss as payment.
