Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Her

(Features press samples and affiliate links)

Now that January has come to an end, it can only mean one thing. The month of love is finally upon us. Whether you love it or hate it, it’s here to stay. Fear not, you don’t have to be in a relationship to enjoy this post. Whether you celebrate it with a loved one, or you do galantines instead, or maybe you just want to treat yourself, stay tuned, you won’t regret it. I’ll apologise in advance for any overspending that might occur as a result.

Jack and I didn’t used to bother with it but we’ve recently started to celebrate it and I actually kinda like it. We don’t go crazy and spend a whole lot to make it special. I’m a huge fan of a cute card and a simple bunch of flowers. Who doesn’t love a fresh bouquet of flowers?!

So to that end I decided to share my first valentine’s gift guide post. In this post you’ll find a great mix of products in varying price ranges to suit everyone. All of the gifts I’ve included are all things I’d love personally and would actually use.

I’m of the belief that underwear*, like certain types of nightwear makes the ideal gift, especially for Valentine’s day. If you’re one half of a couple, underwear can be enjoyed by both parties… It is also the perfect gift from yourself, to yourself. I don’t know about you but when I wear a cute matching set I always feel extra sassy. When picking a set out, what better colour to choose than red for Valentine’s Day?!

Chocolates

When it comes to chocolates for Valentine’s day I think we fall into one of two camps. They make a great gift and we’d love to receive them, or they’re the ultimate cliché. I can’t imagine who wouldn’t love chocolates, it’s one of the best things on the planet! If you’re feeling a little bit extra why not go for a beautifully presented, and delicious box from Godiva*. If you air more on the side of minimalism, Marks & Spencer have a more paired back approach to valentine’s chocolates, and M&S chocolate is the best!

Diptyque Roses Scented Oval*

Diptyque is one of the brands to beat when it comes to luxury scents, personally I’ve always admired their products from afar but haven’t brought myself to take the plunge. Roses is their valentines scent, it is absolutely divine and is very reminiscent of freshly cut roses. This scent oval which is limited edition for valentine’s day is something a little different, think of it to be used in place of those little organza bags full of scented beads. It lends itself perfectly to being neatly tucked away inside of an underwear drawer, or hung in the wardrobe for deliciously scented clothes.

Fragrance For Her

If the underwear drawer deserves a valentine’s scent, it’s only right that the wearer of said underwear also gets a scent. What better scent than Chloé Love Story EDT*, a beautiful floral, fresh and sensual fragrance combining a marriage of orange blossom with a burst of nasturtium, which is delicately peppery. Prunus flower magnifies the scent with an intense green facet. The padlock flacon, universal symbol of love and treasured emblem of the Maison Chloé dresses up in a tender rosy palette. Sensual. Feminine. Refreshing.

The Gift Of Beauty

When it comes to beauty, nothing says I love you more than a luxury offering from Charlotte Tilbury. It’s no secret that Pillow Talk is of a real cult status at this point, and the family has recently extended. You can now wear the delight that is Pillow Talk on your lips, cheeks and now your eyes proving that more, is most definitely more. I give you the Luxury Palette Pillow Talk Palette which just like the lipstick has been an incredible hit and is selling fast! Make your beauty lovers dreams come true with this to-die-for pretty, feminine every day eyeshadow palette with four shimmer and matte shades, featuring champagne pink, matte dusky rose, soft matte brown and a rose gold sparkle.

For The Lush Lovers

You can’t go far wrong with a treat or two courtesy of Lush. Not only do they have some of the best bath goodies all year round, but they also spoil us to seasonal delights, including valentine’s day. Oh what a selection they have given us this year. Surprise your loved one to a handpicked selection of bathtime treats, and who knows, maybe a treat for one can become a bath for two. Grab the Godiva chocolates, a couple of candles to set the mood, a glass of champagne to add the final touch. You’re good to go.
