Shopping | Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2012

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I whipped up a few gift ideas for both men & women. Hope they help! 

Marc Jacobs’ classic Lola fragrance gets a revamp with this OH, LOLA! on the go! The flirty facet of the original LOLA is always just a spray away with the OH LOLA! Marc Jacobs Purse Spray. Wrapped in a feminine flower print, the toteable spray twists to reveal a sprayer for use. OH LOLA! Eau de Parfume Purse Spray 20 ML $45. Available exclusively at Bay Stores across Canada February 2012.

Another classic gets an injection of variety. Calvin Klein Eternity for men Summer is sure favourite for the warmer weather. Light, vigorous and fresh. The top notes include a citrus mix, mint, coriander, watermelon and ocean air accord. Star anise, galbanum, and lily of the valley are in the heart, placed on cedar, patchouli and amber. $60 CDN
