With less than two weeks until Valentine’s Day, the countdown is on to the most romantic date in your diary. Whether you are coupled up, just dating or fancy spoiling yourself or a friend for the occasion, I have plenty of inspiration for cute, unique and tasty gift ideas, collaborating with some brilliant brands to bring this Valentine’s Gift Guide to you.
Lola’s Cupcakes
If you’re looking for a yummy treat that’s as pretty as it is delicious, look no further than Lola’s Cupcakes, available for delivery across country from 9th February (you can pre-order now) and so tasty I ate more than I care to admit of these. The designs are gorgeous and make a beautiful treat for Valentine’s!
The Homemade Brownie Company
Talking of tasty treats, The Homemade Brownie Company have knocked it out of the park once again with their flavour of the month, Red Velvet, included in this yummy heart themed box, delivered to your door. These are still the best brownies I have ever tasted (and gluten free too)!
Letterbox Cake
bakerdays have a fantastic selection of Valentine’s themed letterbox cakes to choose from. I personally love this quirky green monster themed cake, which can be a flavour of your choice. The cute tin is small enough to be posted through your letterbox, which makes it a really handy choice of gift! They have other versions available as well with more traditional messages of love (and the option to personalise too) – make sure you check out their website!
Mermaid Gin
Mermaid Gin is absolutely gorgeous and their bottles are beautiful, making them a perfect gift idea for Valentine’s Day. You can choose from their selection, but I am personally a big fan of their original Mermaid Gin, so smooth and fresh.
Non-alcoholic Spirits
If you or your loved one are avoiding alcohol for any reason, the range of non-alcoholic botanicals available from CleanCo are a lovely alternative. The Clean G bottle is even pink to fit the occasion!
Sparkling Wine
Buying for a Sparkling wine fan? Look no further than these beautiful bottles, available to buy from Morrisons. My personal favourite is the Fleurs de Prairie, which I first heard about on Instagram from The Cardiff Mum.
Love Heart Sweets
Love Hearts are the absolute epitome of Valentine’s Day for me, and so affordable if you are buying on a budget. How adorable is the tub? Such a lovely gift idea.
Temple Spa
Temple Spa always have gorgeous gift ideas for any occasion and I love love love these two gift ideas from their website. Spa Wherever You Are includes a selection of 8 treats to ensure they are relaxed and refreshed wherever they are, whilst the Soft Embrace shower mousse is a brilliant for an indulgent pamper experience. Plus everything smells divine!
LUSH Products
LUSH have done it again with their brilliant Valentine’s Day range including some fantastic gift sets. My personal favourite has to be the Lots of Love set which is jam packed full of pampering treats, but they also have the With Love gift set and their Kiss Me Quick shower jelly is a must buy!
Shea Foot Butter
Aviela’s 100% Pure A Grade shea butter is gorgeous and this foot butter will have feet looking and feeling perfect ready for those Valentine’s foot massages!
Organic Beauty
Evolve Organic Beauty have some lovely items that will have skin looking and feeling fresh this Valentine’s Day. Their Rosehip Miracle Oil helps to regenerate and revitalise dry skin and it smells divine! The Bio-Retinol Glossy Lip Oil visibly plumps lips naturally in seconds.
Doll Smash Cosmetics
Doll Smash are a luxury vegan, gender-neutral cosmetics line. This trio of products would make a lovely gift idea, or are brilliant for getting your lips looking ultra kissable for the special day..
Sensual Toys
So Divine have a brilliant selection of adult toys to spice up your Valentine’s Day, whether you are playing as a pair or going solo. Their new Je T’aime Heart Vibrator is just begging to be used this February 14th. If you’re playing as a couple, the Duet 2 in 1 couples toy allows you to satisy multiple erogenous zones with one handy tool!
Intimate Razor
Designed for those intimate male areas, this Gilette razor would be a great gift idea for a loved one this Valentine’s, or a treat for yourself to get in the mood…
Drop Earrings
These Queen of Hearts Garnet drop earrings are absolutely stunning. Available from Fool’s Gold Jewellery, these would be a beautiful gift to open up on February 14th. They have a matching ring and a necklace in the range and you can choose Peridot gemstones if you’d prefer (but I love the red for Valentine’s).
Jewellery
The jewellery from Bloom Boutique Ltd is simply beautiful and perfect for Valentine’s gifts. I particularly love their Personalised Secret Message Heart Birthstone bracelet, and the shooting star personalised earrings are also a firm favourite!
Rummikub Board Game
Fans of the original Rummikub will enjoy this City Edition version, which would be a lovely gift for a board game fan, and a nice date night activity to enjoy together.
Orchid
This stunning moth orchid is sure to be well received this Valentine’s Day. I was really impressed with the packaging for this, which meant that it arrived, potted, in amazing condition and ready to gift. The packaging is fully recyclable and the orchids can be delivered across the UK.
Exodai
This fascinating memoir following a journey into the world of BDSM in Tokyo would make a brilliant alternative gift.
Redefining Selfish
Another one for book fans, Redefining Selfish covers putting yourself first and practising self love to ensure you are empowered and independent. Great gift for yourself if you are celebrating solo this Valentine’s or for a friend who needs a boost!
Underwear and PJs
British Boxers are passionate about creating classic underwear using the best fabrics. Their bamboo stretch trunks or female briefs would make a lovely gift for your partner this Valentine’s, or how about treating them to a new pair of pjs? The material is so soft and comfortable – they are beautiful!
Cadbury Gift
Cadbury chocolate is absolutely delicious and this love themed double deck selection box is sure to be well received this Valentine’s Day. That’s if you can bear to part with it yourself..
Green & Blacks Hamper
This hamper from Green & Blacks is amazing. As well as the Tasting Collection, filled with the brand’s gorgeous flavours, there’s also a bottle of Prosecco to enjoy together to celebrate the occasion.
Photo Gifts
Asda Photo have a range of personalised gifts to choose from when it comes to special occasions. Why not treat your loved one to a photobook or a canvas?
