Sweeter Than Candy


squish-valentines-day

What It Is: Chocolates are definitely one sweet route to go down for Valentine’s Day, but if you want to get creative, might I suggest a Canadian alternative? Squish has a whole load of fun Valentine’s-inspired treats to gift to your sweetheart. From a Heart Shaped Tin ($8) filled with mini strawberry sweethearts to a naughty and nice XXX Mix ($14) to their grand Love at First Bite ($15) gift box, you can munch on yummy flavours of gummies like Twin Bears, Sour Red Roses, Prosecco Bears, and Chili Ginger Hearts.

Who It’s For: Your Valentine. The kids. Your single gal coworkers.

What It Costs: The best part of Squish is the prices – everything featured in this post is under $15, and nothing in their entire Valentine’s Day collection is over $25!

Where It’s At: Shop Squish online or visit one of their tantalizing candy boutiques!

    The sour red roses are very pretty, but if I were buying for my husband his favourite are Swedish berries.

  8. Sour red rose candy because “For the month of February, a portion of Sour Red Roses profits will be donated to the Make-A-Wish-Foundation, which aims to grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions, to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.” That’s really nice, Squish. https://www.squishcandies.com/en_ca/products/2797-SOUR-RED-ROSES—CANDY-OF-THE-MONTH-OF-FEBRUARY
