February has swooped in like a blast of cold air, and we are just a few days away from the “most loved” holiday of the entire year – Valentine’s Day! There are plenty of ways to celebrate here in downtown Canmore, while staying safe and having a lovely time with your partner – or treating yourself to some “me time”. We have gone ahead and rounded up some great gift ideas for you to shower anyone who holds a place in your heart this Valentine’s Day, so let’s get into it.
Chocolate from Jacek, paired with some lovely candles, wine glasses, and a cozy blanket to keep them warm during this polar vortex, from Stonewaters is a lovely choice for anyone you love. Nothing pairs better to create a cozy Hygge Valentine’s Day than a candlelit bubble bath, red wine, and chocolate. Cozy up, post-bath, and lounge under a soft and warm new blanket by the fireplace as you wait for dinner to be ready. Plus, if you want to add a little something for yourself, stop by Cupid’s Corner so they can slip into something a little more “comfortable” for the remainder of the evening.
Dinner for two dine-in or out options are abundant in Canmore, but you’ll want to pre-order to ensure you get your meal on time this Valentine’s Day. Some of our favourite choices for this year include Four Two Nine Six, Murietta’s, Where the Buffalo Roam, and Tapas Canmore – who was voted the most romantic restaurant in Canmore! There are plenty of other options if none of these suit your fancy, but be sure to give the downtown restaurant of your choosing a ring before Sunday to reserve a spot or place your order.
Another great option for gift-giving this Valentine’s day is the gift of health. Purchase your loved one a punch pass for one of the amazing yoga studios downtown, paired with soaps and skincare from O’Canada Soapworks and Rocky Mountain Soap Co, as well as a massage from either Verde Day, Wildflower, or Etana Wellness should do the trick to give your lover a little bit of bliss. If you wanted to add a little something extra, a mystery Valentine’s Box from Alberta’s Own Marketplace is a great choice to add something tangible.
For the adventure seekers out there, this next gift set might just do the trick! Treat your partner to a thrilling dog sled ride and overnight stay deep in the heart of the Canadian Rockies with Snowy Owl Dogsled Tours. If you’re looking for a thrill– and perhaps a great time to bend down to *ahem* “tie your shoe” if you know what we mean — this bucket list 2 day overnight trip is for you! You and your partner will be whisked off into the depths of the Rockies on the “Ghost of Fortune Mountain” excursion, where you’ll be treated to 2 full days of dog sledding, meals, snacks, beverages, and a tented sleeping experience fit for a king with sleeping bags, buffalo hides, and sheepskins.
Whatever your fancy, there are plenty of options right here in Downtown Canmore to woo your boo this Valentine’s day in the Canadian Rockies.
