It’s February – perfect timing to share some of my favourites from the Kensington Calgary area that I love. These gift recommendations stick with the tried and true, but they have a Kensington twist. Whether you’re treating yourself or someone you love, choose to shop locally this Valentine’s Day.
Crave Cookies & Cupcakes – 1107 Kensington Road NW
Can you really go wrong with cupcakes? Chocolate Raspberry is the Valentine special flavour. Go big with the original size, or, for those still watching the calories, a mini will surely satisfy. For cookie lovers, try the Chocolate Cinnamon Heart Sandwich Cookies. Are you drooling yet?
After: This formal dining space is perfect for entertaining guests.
You’ve heard me talk about Metro Element before. It’s one of my favourite furniture stores. But did you know that they sell flowers too? Red roses for love and desire. Or maybe something more modern? Fresh flowers, especially in the middle of winter, are a beautiful way to brighten someone’s day.
SwizzleSticks Salon & Spa – 1211 Kensington Rd NW
To escape all the stress of life for a couple hours at a spa is dreamy. One of my all-time favourite spa days was at SwizzleSticks. My indulgence? The Aroma Wellness Chakra Massage. So relaxing! This is a perfect gift for your Valentine, but equally perfect for your own self-care.
