Sweeter Than Candy
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!
I am delighted to be giving away two of the items I featured in this post – the Love at First Bite and the Heart Shaped boxes. If you want to win these sweet rewards, here’s how to enter for your chance:
