Why we love it:?An interactive gift that doubles as décor? Sign us up. This LEGO kit contains 791 pieces that come together to create a miniature version of artist Robert Indiana’s famous LOVE sculpture. We also love LEGO Botanical Collections as an alternative to live plants.

Price:
$100

It smells like Valentine’s spirit: Essential oil diffuser, Fern & Petal | Sage

Aroma (Be) Free Matte Black.
Aroma (Be) Free Matte Black.

Why we love it: Essential oils can have many great effects aside from making a room smell like a yoga studio — which we love as well. Science shows that lavender oils can improve sleep, according to the journal Nursing in Critical Care, and as reported by Healthing.ca.?

Essential oil diffusers can bring calmness to a bedroom, set the scene in a bathroom or help cover up the odour of an exercise space — a present for all. We’ve tested and recommend essential oils and diffusers from Fern & Petal and Sage because both brands offer high-quality products and are Canadian. We particularly appreciate Sage’s selection of diffusers and its lifetime guarantee.

Dapper and tapered: lululemon ABC Jogger

ABC Jogger.
ABC Jogger.

Why we love it: These joggers from lululemon are technical enough to be worn during a workout but are tapered enough to sport every day. They are sweat-wicking and super-soft and come in three lengths to best fit your guy. He’ll likely love them and want more colours, perfect for future gift-giving celebrations.

Price: $138
Where to buy: lululemon

Keep it cool: Nax Caki Large Ice Cube Tray with Lid Pack of 2

Why we love it: A perfectly large, slow-melting ice cube may exist for a glass of whiskey or bourbon, but it can elevate any cocktail or drink. This set is stackable, saving on freezer space. Also, if your partner is a scientist, biker or another personality that could like a skull, this mould is pretty cool too.

Price: $19
Where to buy: Amazon

Sounds perfect: Bose SoundLink Revolve+ (Series II) Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Bose SoundLink Revolve+ (Series II) Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Why we love it: Whoever brings the speaker, controls the music. So gift with caution. This Bose speaker is dust and water-resistant, super loud and has a battery life of up to 17 hours. The speaker is great for picnics, barbeques, beach days, hikes and other fun outdoor activities that may face the elements, but can embrace the music.

Price: $369

Love a classic: Lindt chocolate

Lindt LINDOR Radiance Milk Chocolate Truffles

Why we love it: ?World-renowned professional taster, Beth Kimmerle, said that Lindt is one of her favourite packaged chocolates because of its quality. She also called out Dove chocolate, but packs of those sweet treats seem to be hard to come by and therefore more competitively priced on Amazon.
Price: From $8
Where to buy: Amazon – Lindt | Amazon – Dove

For endless massages: Theragun Elite

Theragun Elite.
Theragun Elite.

Why we love it: Gifts are meant for sharing with the gifter, yes? A couple of chocolates here, a daily turn with the Theragun…The Elite Theragun could be enjoyed by most people as it can dig into and massage muscles. It’s quiet too, so you don’t have to announce it to the house when you’re borrowing this thoughtful and useful gift. There’s also the more affordable Atome Mini Massage Gun that we’ve tried and it certainly does the job.
Price: $549
Where to buy: Theragun | Atom Mini Massage Gun ($269)

Spice it up:?Baskits Hot Stuff Gift Basket

Hot Stuff.
Hot Stuff.

Why we love it:?If you’re looking to send some love, Baskits is a Canadian-owned company that ships across the country. This Hot Stuff package is the perfect present if you have a hot sauce fanatic on your eyes — which is great, as long as you keep the hot sauce away from your eyes.
Price: $80
Where to buy:?Baskits
