Succulents are having a moment, appearing in everything from designer home décor to graphic tees. But they still take a little work to keep alive (and you’re already keeping enough things alive!) so we love this faux terrarium for being cute and easy. $25, walmart.ca
Fitbit Charge 5
If someone on your gift list is dedicated to getting their steps or catching their zzz’s, treat them to a new health and fitness tracker. This pick features Fitbit’s most advanced technology yet, packed into a thinner, sleeker design. $229, fitbit.com
From now until February 17, you can $70 off on the Charge 5 model at fitbit.com.
Henne Lip Tint
A quick tint is a subtle pop that feels nice when you catch a glimpse in the mirror and cheery but not too fussed on those always-happening Zoom calls. We love this natural, one-swipe tint from Henne. Made in the U.S., you can build a more pronounced pucker with a couple coats. $27, shopfrock.ca
Self Love Club Gift Set
Spoil your Valentine (or yourself!) with this fun, colourful gift pack featuring bath bombs, bubble bars and a set of four adorable, trendy pins to keep or trade. $35, lush.ca
Honeycomb + Bitter Chocolate Soy Wax Candle
Sure, you could give chocolate, but a self-care move c/o a sweetly scented chocolate and honeycomb candle that totally smells like a fancy brownie lasts a little longer. Hand-poured in Toronto, include a DIY gift card to enjoy an uninterrupted soak or time in bed with a coffee while this little cutie burns. $16, stonetulipgoods.com
Ultimate Grooming Kit For Men
The smell of a freshly groomed beard is really something. Made-in-Canada, this five-piece set includes a beard oil, beard balm, wooden beard comb, wooden boar-hair beard brush and carrying case. Choose from a variety of scents like sandalwood, bamboo and cedar leather. $45, KTValleyCo via etsy.com
Our Glowing Hearts Mini LED Hearts
Early on in the pandemic, neon hearts began appearing in the windows of homes across the country to show Canada’s continued support of frontline workers. Now, in 2022, you can get your hands on a mini 7-inch version of the classic, available in so many colours. Light up your windows or use it indoors as an adorable lamp or nightlight. A portion of each mini heart purchase goes to War Child Canada. $85, ourglowinghearts.ca
