So Much Love
Valentine’s Day typically isn’t a gift-giving occasion that requires excessive thought and planning. First of all, a lot of people don’t buy into the holiday at all, which I get! But I do think there’s something sweet about picking out a little token of affection for your most loved person. Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be a big production, and you can easily scoop something up at the last minute by popping into one of Canada’s biggest retailers, like Shoppers Drug Mart. With over 1,200 locations from coast to coast, Shoppers is an awesome destination for picking up fun gift ideas for every loved one you’re hoping to impress this February 14th, and I’ve picked out a few great ideas below.
Carnaby Sweet Treats
Valentine’s Day is all about the sugar rush! At least it is my household. Carnaby Sweet, Shoppers Drug Mart’s house brand of candy and confections, has plenty of Valentine’s Day-worthy options to impress little ones and lovers alike. From milk chocolate roses to gourmet jellybeans, it’s all super affordably priced too!
Chloe Love Story Perfume – $90
A fitting gift idea for the most romantic holiday of the year! This pretty perfume from Chloe melds together orange blossom with a dewy floral accord for a fresh, springy scent that’ll work well past February 14th.
Quo ‘Love’ Makeup Bag
Another house brand worth checking out is Shoppers Drug Mart’s Quo Cosmetics. Not sure what shade she is? Scoop up this adorable Parisian-inspired tote bag to stash her perfect pucker-up shade of gloss or lipstick.
Gift Cards – From $25
Valentine’s Day is about showering the ones you love with things that they love – and who doesn’t love a bit of spending power at their favourite store or venue? Both in-stores and online, Shoppers Drug Mart has a killer selection of gift cards for everything from shopping malls to movie theatres to of course, Shoppers Drug Mart itself.
Smashbox For 25 Years Our Lips Have Been Sealed Palette – $79
Light up your lips with one of 25 best-selling shades of Smashbox’s Be Legendary Lipstick. From cool plums to bright pinks, this commerative collection is designed to celebrate Smashbox’s 25 years in the beauty biz, but is also a crazy steal of a deal for Valentine’s Day!
The ideas I featured here are truly just a fraction of what’s in store at Shoppers Drug Mart locations. I’ve popped into a few over the last few weeks and spotted everything from giant cuddly plush toys for the little ones to walls of sweet treats for everyone to enjoy to nice greetingĀ cards for everyone from your grandparents to your coworkers. And I’m giving one reader a sweet surprise!

Shoppers Drug Mart is always one of my favourite places to buy gifts. Surprisingly they also have fab tea sets, humourless books, and even items with Canadian sports team logos.
