We practice self-love in this house.

While it’s certainly fun to spoil our loved ones during gift-giving occasions, we’ll be the first to admit we love spoiling ourselves. And why limit Valentine’s Day to those who are coupled up? Whatever your relationship status is, we say show yourself some TLC this Valentine’s Day and cop yourself a little treat (or a big treat, you do you!)
Read on for 11 ways to say “I love me” this February 14th.
Buy yourself the jewellery
Nobody really wants a flimsy heart-shaped necklace on Valentine’s Day. Bypass the awkwardness and pick out a pair of cool-girl earrings for yourself, like this set from Jenny Bird’s new knots & pearls collection. We’re partial to the Daphne climber earrings, which are designed with 14k gold-dipped brass and elegant glass pearls.
Spritz on a decadent scent
Give “vanilla sex” a new meaning with this divine Tom Ford fragrance that takes gourmand to the next level. It includes two types of vanilla, bitter almond and sandalwood with a touch of tonka bean, resulting in a soft and sensual scent that works on just about anyone. Divine.
Book a luxurious spa treatment
There’s nothing that says “self-care” like booking yourself a full day at the spa. Four Seasons Montreal’s ‘Date Yourself’ package includes an incredible 30-minute Guerlain facial and a 60-minute massage, plus a luxurious 30-minute soak in a bath. Hot tip: There’s a 20% discount on massages and facial treatments every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm, and V-day happens to fall on a Wednesday this year. Thank us later.
Invest in a bougie blender
Is it time to trade in your blender for something a little more elevated? Survey says yes. Allow us to point you to the Vitamix Ascent Series A3500 Gold Label, which features five blending settings for ultimate control, plus plenty of attachments you can purchase to build your collection, and it’s on sale. Available in matte sage, navy and white, it’s the perfect way to make your kitchen even more aesthetically pleasing. And the brushed gold details? Impeccable.
Splurge on your dream handbag
You know that bag you’ve been eyeing for several years? This is us telling you to click add-to-cart once and for all. We have our heart set on this mint Gucci Jackie mini, but there are so many amazing colours and styles to choose from (and even more if you want to shop second-hand!) Remember: a designer bag is a long-term investment, after all.
Dress up your coffee table
The best gifts are the ones that serve you year-round. A stunning coffee table book makes an excellent focal point in your entryway or living space, and is an open invitation to get lost in your daydreams 24/7 (especially when said book features stunning Parisian photography.)
Buy the fancy socks
We all saw what Simone Rocha did for Jean Paul Gaultier, right? Now is the time to represent the Irish-born designer with a pair of Rocha’s dreamy embellished socks, which make any outfit look ridiculously stylish. They also happen to be on sale, and we love a sale.
Hydrate those lips
Skincare and self-care go hand-in-hand, which is why we’re obsessed with this new version of Laneige’s best-selling Lip Sleeping Mask in a delightful cotton candy swirl. Mix it up and it becomes a delightful shade of lavender.
Light up a sexy candle
Is there anything more indulgent than lighting up a beautiful candle for absolutely no reason? Hardly. This enticing candle from Witch New York smells of Bulgarian rose, labdanum, frankincense and patchouli and will set the mood for all your Valentine’s Day manifestations.
Swipe on a luxe lippie
The best way to complete a stylish outfit is to finish off with a deeply gorgeous lipstick. This limited-edition duo features two of Chanel’s signature matte shades: 58 Rouge Vie and 63 Essentielle, housed in a sleek black lacquer case. When in doubt, Chanel.
Wear the skimpy lingerie
Whether you’re flying solo or boo’d up, slipping into sexy lingerie is a surefire way to boost your confidence level and feel incredible in your skin. This colourful sheer set from Victoria’s Secret is everything we want in a bra: comfort and cuteness.
