Witch New York “The Lovers” rose candle
Valentine’s Day isn’t only about romantic love. And nothing says self-love quite like a divine candle that looks as good as it smells. An intoxicating rose scent featuring labdanum, frankincense and patchouli is housed in a striking red vessel is the perfect indulgence you scratch that “something I want, not something I need” itch.
It’s called The Lovers — after the tarot card — and what better gift to you, from you? Because your one true love should be yourself.

Hear us out: Endure a little pain for a whole lot of pleasure with a V-day piercing date. And if you hit up Toronto’s piercing and jewellery mecca The Blumz, the pain part is basically a non-issue — co-founder Anna Blum has such a gentle touch, you’ll barely feel a thing.
Plus, Anna is a pro at curating a chic ear stack at any budget. Seriously: The Blumz carries (and can pierce with) brands such as Anita Ko ($522 to $10,400), Mae ($115 to $285), Junipurr ($126 to $678) and Maria Tash ($80 to $3,650).

Tiffany & Co. Tiffany HardWear Micro Link Ring in Yellow Gold
