Valentine's Day Guide: Gifts & Experiences for you and your Loved Ones

Whether you're the kind who loves to gift experiences or things this little gift guide will provide #yyj locals with an abundance of ideas on how to pamper your loved ones this Valentine's Day.


My love language is gifting, and personally I get more joy out of giving gifts than receiving them. This has always been a thing for me, but sometimes we struggle with what to get for our loved ones, whether it's a partner, friends or family we all celebrate Valentine's Day differently.



The Gift of Florals with @Rook & Rose

Who doesn't love a bouquet of florals? Rook & Rose has everything from Dried Arrangements to Fresh Arrangements, Neutrals to Pastels and more. While they have a storefront in Downtown Victoria on Johnson Street they do offer Shipping within USA & Canada, however not all items are available to be shipped by mail such as Fresh Flowers.


A bouquet of flowers is a great gift for even just treating yourself, but they also help to make anyone's day just that little bit sweeter.


I spy with my little eye... Something Shiny @Violette Boutique

My love for shiny things has rubbed off on Kieran and he loves to get me little gifts from Violette Boutique as I also love to gift him things from them.


Violette has a wide variety of jewelry and gifts from fine jewelry to vintage inspired pieces by @Pyrrha (this is Kieran's personal favourite brand). With a focus on Canadian businesses there's something for every body.


Get sweaty @Ritual Nordic Spa

Last year for my birthday Kieran treated me to a visit to Ritual Nordic Spa and it was an experience I definitely will not forget, and would love to do again! Who doesn't love a little sauna & steam room time?


Located in downtown Victoria on Johnson Street, this is a great way to spend quality time with your partners, friends or family doing something fun. With a Nordic Bucket Shower, Steam Room, Finnish Sauna, Salt Lounge & more it is an experience you will remember for years to come.


Tea for Two @Flourish BeauTea

Sit down to a hot (or cold) tea at Flourish BeauTea and a piece of cake or one of their delicious cupcakes. This local business is a favourite of mine to stop in at when I'm running errands in town because well, I love their business! The food, drinks and service are fantastic and the shop is such a sweet place to sit with friends.


Don't know what to pick? Not to worry, their list of suggestions is the perfect place to start.


What are your Valentine's Day Plans? I'd love to know!
