After the heavy year that was 2020, we decided it was time for something FUN! Inspired by the annual Lifeguide of gift ideas that Lawson Heights Mall creates every year, we decided to share some of our Favorite Things for Valentines Day. We hope you enjoy!

for the…..

‘TIMELESS TRADITIONALIST’

First Up, is Cristle. She’s the smiling face that greets you and the cheery voice on the phone. Her love for chocolates and flowers means it can’t be just any box of candy or bouquet. It must be local and created with detail and passion for a more meaningful experience.

‘ARTSY ADVENTURER’

Next up, is Karen. Karen’s philosophy is all about a little EXTRA. She makes her clients feel special by always doing a little extra and she really enjoys styling spaces with a lot of bold elements. Her picks for Valentines Day are the perfect combination of something that brings joy daily and a special occasion experience.

‘MAN OF MYSTERY’

Brandon is known as our Sultan of Style. And he did not disappoint with his sophisticated selections this year. Our crisp sunny days of winter in Saskatoon call for the coolest classic Aviator to fight the blinding glare from the snow covered streets. Pair those with the timeless woody scent of BLEU DE CHANEL, and you get an intensely masculine signature style.

‘EXTROVERTED EPICUREAN’

“Brunch is breakfast, without the alarm”

Cody’s favorite Valentines Day activity isn’t necessarily a once a year event, it’s more of a weekend tradition. And that’s because it involves 3 things he enjoys most: his friends, great food, and a charming local coffee house - City Perks!

If being late for brunch could even be a thing, it certainly won’t be for Cody with his Automatic Townsman Fossil watch. The Metric men sure have great taste!

‘URBAN HIPPIE’

While she doesn’t drive a VW or wear Birkenstocks, Crystal is our resident ‘ritualist’. Her Valentines wish is to create a space for self care using essential oils and a yoga practice to become more mindful and present. When you can’t visit the rain forest, bring the rain forest to you by diffusing uplifting, earthy, energizing scents. Breathe and imagine you are where you want to be.

“What you learn on the mat, you take with you off the mat.”

“INTENTIONAL ROMANTIC”

We round out our Valentines picks with the Queen B, Tamara. While she does love an easy going rom-com, the way to her heart is sharing memorable experiences with her loved ones. Committed to supporting our community, Tamara’s best Valentines Day would be a Staycation at the beautiful James Hotel, dinner at one of our incredible local restaurants and a special wine to complete the evening.

To deepen connection with your loved ones she recommends the 36-Question exercise. Because as Socrates said it best - “Wonder is the beginning of wisdom”.

“UNFUSSY OPTIMIST”

For Amy, nothing says Valentines more than a comforting bowl of authentic Italian pasta and a night out of the house. One of her favorite local spots is La Cucina, and her advice, “Let them decide for you”.

Her easy breezy attitude is celebrated in her home with plants. Having plants in your space immediately boosts mood and creativity. “Every home should have them!”
