If you forgot for a minute that Valentine’s Day is this Saturday, and you haven’t picked up that “little something” yet, we have a last minute gift guide to please the lady in your life.
While trying to cover all the bases, we found things for the girly girl, the adventurist, the urban dweller and the home-body. Finish off your V-Day hunt and get her any one of these things:

A charcuterie board is a great addition for any lady who likes to entertain – or eat cheese off of something fancy looking. We love this locally-made British Columbia board, but if you’re more keen on another (lesser) province, Love My Local has a whole collection.

Get her organized

A personalized set of stationary is a creative and helpful gift that many list-making ladies will love. The options are endless: notepads, notebooks, thank you cards and much more. You can even include an inside joke or her favourite quote to make it even more special.

A couple’s trail-ride on horseback might be just what she’s looking for. There are multiple ranches in Metro Vancouver that offer horse back riding lessons or excursions. We came across Equu Trails, a group that runs trail rides in Golden Ears Provincial Park.
