The Valentine’s Edit at Willowbrook

Love is in the air at Willowbrook! Whether you are shopping for a lifelong partner, your ride-or-die bestie, or treating yourself to some well-deserved self-care, our Valentine’s Day gift ideas make gifting effortless. From the dazzling accessories in our ‘Statement Sparkle’ collection to cozy essentials for a special night in, we’ve curated a guide filled with swoon-worthy finds. Read on to discover the perfect way to say ‘I love you’ this February 14th.

Statement sparkle

Start with pieces that earn compliments without trying. A classic Diamond Tennis Bracelet from Michael Hill throws a clean line of light on the wrist, while the Cushion Cut Red Garnet and Diamond Halo Ring from Michael Hill brings a deep berry glow for date night. If she leans subtle, the Sparkling Bow Stud Earrings from Pandora add just enough twinkle to everyday knits. For a polished finish, the TUDOR Black Bay Chrono 41 mm from Golden Tree Jewellers delivers a presence that still reads everyday.

Beauty and self-care

Small luxuries make the week feel considered. The Outrageous Plump Lip Gloss x Tabasco from Sephora gives high shine with a playful kick, and the Dior eau de parfum from Sephora layers a modern rose that feels luminous, not loud. Add a soft veil of scent and shine with Kérastase Gloss Absolu Le Parfum Hair Fragrance from Eccotique Spas & Salons, and keep a cheerful spritz on hand with You’re My Jam Fragrance Mist from The Body Shop. For ambience, light Covered In Roses 3-Wick Candle from Bath & Body Works, and call it a night in.

At home, but special

Plan a night in that feels intentional. Brew together with the Valentine’s share set from Nespresso, put Bruno Mars’ latest vinyl from Sunrise Records on the turntable, and break open a delicious chocolate bar from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for a sweet finish. Keep The Heart of Rumi from Coles nearby for a few lines to read aloud, and set the ultimate date night game, What Do You Meme? from Coles on the table for laughs that last longer than dessert.

Style moves

A few well-chosen pieces go a long way. The Lovemule heels from Aldo add easy polish to denim and midi dresses, while the Converse Lift High Tops from Boathouse bring a little height to off-duty looks. Layer the Laine Cropped Cardigan from Plenty over the Polka Dot Dress from Winners to move seamlessly from lunch to late. And for cooler nights, reach for the Brixton Ranching Club Sweater from Below The Belt to keep things relaxed and refined.

Rediscover WillowWay

WillowWay is a distinctive feature of Willowbook, located in the center’s east corridor. Since its launch five years ago, it has continually energized the retail scene by hosting a dynamic rotation of local vendors, pop-ups, and businesses. From custom clothing and jewelry to coffee, pretzels, and donuts, WillowWay has evolved into a must-visit destination within the Centre. The current lineup is sure to grab your attention. 

The 6th Scent Candle features coveted hand poured candles, diffusers and more. Their mission is to create beautiful scents that will complement your home. They create a variety of home fragrance products with delightful scents. Their minimal and clean design and top-quality ingredients have secured a loyal fan base. Stop by to sample their 4 newly launched Spring scents: Sandalwood Rose, White Sage, Patchouli Amber and Blue Honeyberry.   

Java Lova is known for their love of crafting exceptional experiences in every cup, brining a higher standard of coffee and baked goods to our guests on the daily. From iced lattes to Lavendar white mochas and pistachio waffles, stopping at Java Lova is always a treat.  

Mr. Pretzels are the purveyors of freshly baked (and delicious!) pretzels. Their pretzel dough is freshly prepared throughout the day and hand rolled on site. Available in both sweet and salty flavour profiles, the hardest part is choosing your toppings… Nutella anyone? 

To further enhance the space, Willowbrook collaborated with local artist Drew Young to hand-paint the 88-foot stretch of WillowWay. Drew brought a unique vibrancy to the area with a one-of-a-kind artwork that captures attention through his bold use of line and color. His stylized, fractured flower designs embody the west-coast aesthetic of the shopping center in a striking, high-impact way. Over the course of a month, Drew brought the mural, titled Dayspring, to life. In his artist statement, Drew explained that the mural captures the quiet yet powerful transition from night to day. 

“This piece reflects the subtle beauty of the natural world, where the first light of morning meets the dark remnants of evening. Through vibrant florals, I’ve sought to depict how light awakens the world. In creating Dayspring, I aimed to not only reflect the beauty of this quiet dawn but also to encourage a mindful awareness of the world around us. It’s a reminder that even in moments of stillness, there is energy waiting to unfold. The mural invites viewers to pause, appreciate the small moments, and feel the life around them as they step into their own day.”  

WillowWay has become a gathering place, not only for guests to check out the pop-ups but also a great spot to have a coffee or take a quick meeting along the benches and seating. And now with this amazing backdrop, we are excited to introduce you to WillowWay all over again. Check out the how the mural came to be!

Drew Young is an internationally exhibited painter and muralist as well as one of the co-founders of Vancouver Mural Fest. He’s been involved in a number of projects locally from Kitsilano and Ambleside to downtown and the River District. Check out his portfolio here: https://dyoung.ca/

For the man who loves grooming, Tommy Gun’s Concentrated Beard Oil by Layrite is a thoughtful and practical gift he’ll appreciate every day.

Gifts for Her

For the beauty enthusiast, Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum or Valentino’s Mini Rosso Lipstick from Sephora will be her new favourites.

Celebrating Dad

It’s that time of year again—Father’s Day is right around the corner and we’ve got gifts for that great guy. Whoever you’re celebrating—dads, stepdads, grandads, uncles, big brothers, or just a cool male role model—treat them to all the best this season, whatever they’re into.

For the one who needs a new look

Could Dad’s look use a little love? It might be time for a new ensemble. Whether he’s a casual jeans and tee guy, prefers a polo and golf shorts, or likes to dress it up with slacks and a sport coat, we can help with stores like American Eagle, H&M, or Jack and Jones. Try a comfy and classic dark wash pair of jeans, or a practical button-down that’s sure to have him looking and feeling his best every time.


 

For the outdoors lover

Camping, hiking, or just playing in the dirt—if Dad’s and outdoorsy type, we can help. Make sure Dad’s got the right shoes on (no more beat up New Balance) and let the Footlocker team help find a cool pair of Jordans or some casual slides for the beach. Then, treat him to some outdoor R&R with a cozy hammock from Mountain Warehouse—the big kid version of a classic tree swing.


 

For the technology buff

Gadgets, gizmos, tablets, smart watches—there’s no end to the new technology available and the cool cases and accessories you can get, too. Treat Dad to a smartwatch that does it all or a portable speaker for those jam sessions on the go. Not a fan of Dad’s playlist? Noise cancelling headphones make a great gift, too and The Source has it all and more.

For the one who has everything

Let’s face it, Dad isn’t always the easiest to shop for, even when you have a gift guide helping you out. If the dad in your life already has everything, get him a gift card and plan a fun shopping trip to Willowbrook. Hit up Dad’s favourite stores and stop for a snack to refuel or grab something to go and enjoy a sweet treat or cold drink on the run.

However you’re celebrating and whoever you’re celebrating with, we wish you a great Father’s Day and fun time with family.
