The week’s news, views and sales

We’re cutting it a little close, but here are more Valentine’s Day gift picks your lover will fall for, even if they arrive a few days late.

Cake sweetens up

Cake Cosmetics has paired up with Sweethearts candies to create a limited-edition bath and body collection. The lovely lineup includes hand cream, body butter, bath and shower froth, hair and body mist, and lip treatments that mix sweet vanilla with coconut oil, vitamin E, aloe vera and mango butter. Find the beauty buys at Sephora (131 Bloor West, 416-513-1100, and others, sephora.com) and cakebeauty.com for $14 to $24 while supplies last.

Love your skin

Still on the skin care beat, Dermalogica recommends its Shave System Kit ($50, dermalogica.ca) for your valentine. Packed with the line’s daily clean scrub, pre-shave guard, soothing shave cream, post-shave balm, daily defence block SPF15 and invigorating shave gel, it lets your sweetie sample and choose what works best for his or her face, legs and underarms. It also comes packed in a seasonally hued red box.

Jewellery tip

Every Valentine’s Day bauble buy doesn’t have to be heart-shaped. Just check out the jewellery on recently launched web store Kavut (kavut.com). Rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and cuffs ranging in price from $30 to $1,500 include lots of sculptural pieces that will be wearable long past February 14. For extra style points, pick an on-trend rose-gold piece from labels like Eddie Borgo, Ina Beissner and Made Her Think.

Love and sex box

If you want the Valentine’s Day spirit to live on all year round, sign up for Spicy Subscriptions. For a $24.95 to $34.95 monthly fee, the service will send you a box packed with gifts, toys, massage oils, lingerie, fragrances and more. Curious about what treats you might receive?
