Last-Minute Love

We always forget about Cupid’s birthday until there are just seconds to spare. Here are some easy ideas to show some last-minute love to your nearest and dearest.

For your Mom
Treat her to a sweet afternoon at Le Maître Chocolatier, and indulge in an all-chocolate menu ($30 pp) featuring hot chocolate, chocolate cake, fudgy brownies, and truffles. Because nothing says “I love you” like a decadent dessert. Le Maître Chocolatier, 1612, Sherbrooke St. W., Monteal, 514-544-9475, www.lemaitrechocolatier.ca

For your Single Sister
Benefit’s Finding Mr. Bright beauty kit comes with important tools for creating a fetching face. Use posietint cheek and lip stain for a romantic flush, girl meets pearl and high beam for that special glow, and erase paste to hide last night’s sins (finding Mr. Right takes a little trial and error). At Sephora, Fairview Pointe-Claire, 6815 Transcanada Hwy, 514-630-6100, www.sephora.com/canada

For your Married Friend
Even a woman with a full-time man needs to be reminded, sometimes (especially if she’s a full-time mom). So let her know that you think she’s Pretty Hot with sultry notes of red currant, blood orange, and mandarin melding with a floral base to create a sexy scent. At Pharmaprix, $63/50 ml.

For your Man
Really? Do you have to even ask?
