Personalized Valentine's Day Gift Guide

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I've gathered some of the best gifts to get your significant other! I think it's important to celebrate love, and this doesn't have to be love for a boyfriend or girlfriend, it can be love for yourself too. So even if you're single for Valentine's Day, splurge on yourself a little, you deserve it! If you're in a relationship, this holiday is a fun excuse to spoil them with a gift that's not only awesome, but also thoughtful and personalized.

Theirscent

Purchase here at: theirscent.com / @theirscent

Theirscent is the newest candle company to hit the shelves, or the web in this case. What exactly sets this new venture apart from the rest? There are no collections, no stock, no pre made scents to fill your atmosphere, just raw materials. Everything that comes from the kitchens at Theirscent is custom blended, hand poured, packaged and shipped right from its home in Vancouver BC.

Being the world's first completely customizable candle company has come with its own unique set of challenges but Theirscent has adapted their process to deliver ridiculously accurate scents that work to emulate everything from your boyfriend’s cologne to the smell of your parents old lakehouse that you remember,  so fondly of.

Their release has been pioneered by four distinct candles; the boyfriend candle, the girlfriend candle, the best friend candle and the memory candle. Each one provides an all natural soy wax base to build your scent profile and at only $34.75 these candles top our list for the “best bang for your buck”.

Theirscent has made the work of customizing your own candle as easy as three steps. Deciding who the candle is for (yourself or a gift), deciding what you want the candle to smell like (they give you 4 base options to build on) and then a space to describe exactly what you want the candle to emulate (a perfume or a cologne etc.). The form takes you through the billing process and then your new candle is on its way to you in 2-4 days.

If you're into candles as much as we are and you want to take advantage of their grand opening sale, get over to theirscent.com and order your custom candle for just $27.80 for a limited time only.


GreaterSkies

You can purchase here: greaterskies.com / @greaterskies

This unique and personalized gift is a snapshot of the stars on any specific date. This date could be your anniversary, the night you met, or any night something really special happened. You can customize everything on the print, where you can even write your own blurb at the bottom to make it extra personalized.

Depending on the date that was chosen, your sky map will show the past or the future. In all cases, you will see:

  • All the stars that could be seen in the sky, or will be seen in the sky, over that place at that time. Well, in fact, the map shows 7,000 to 8,000 stars, depending on the coordinates, many more than can be seen by the naked eye. You may notice that then star colours vary: this is not just to look nice. The colour matches the light emitted by the star.
  • The Sun, the Moon and all the Solar system planets that were or will be visible. All of them are precisely located around the ecliptic , represented by the green line.
  • The constellations , if that option was turned on when the map was created. Some customers prefer a clean sky, so we leave this choice to each person.
  • The exact coordinates our program used to generate the map: latitude and longitude, date and time.
  • A personal message may appear below the sky map, typed in by the person who ordered it.
