Am I a fan of Valentine’s Day? Not really. But do I love giving and receiving gifts? Absolutely, which means I partake in the Hallmark holiday just like the rest of you. It’s not something anyone must celebrate, but February 14th can be a delightful occasion to express your gratitude/love/secret desire for a two-person ticket to bone-town by offering a little token of affection.
If you’re in our shoes, you likely exhausted all your clever Valentine’s Day gift ideas (and budget) during Christmas, leaving you puzzled about what to gift your significant other. No stress, folks. We’ve compiled a variety of fantastic ideas for different budgets that don't scream, ‘I picked this up at the last minute’.
And, just between us, they’d all make fantastic gifts for yourself too.
Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her
DIPTYQUE Ilio EDT
Convince me otherwise: there’s nothing more alluring than someone who smells divine — and this fragrance from Diptyque is reputed to smell incredibly good. The Ilio eau de toilette is a sun-kissed blend reminiscent of summer, featuring notes of barbary fig, bergamot, jasmine, and iris.
Fenton & Fenton Cin Cin Rainbow Coupes (4 pack)
A new set of champagne coupes for the hostess who already seems to have it all. These stunning ones from Fenton & Fenton are a delightful (and highly appreciated) gift choice.
The Bali Tailor The Noa Cocoa Sandal
Considering we’re in the midst of summer, a pair of stylish sandals makes for a superb gift idea. We’re smitten with these leather ones from the Bali brand The Bali Tailor, available via Dissh in Australia. They’re trendy yet distinctive compared to what you’ll find elsewhere. Plus, their quality ensures longevity.
Dyson Airwrap
There’s a reason half the internet is obsessed with these little wonders. The Dyson Airwrap provides salon-quality curls and waves each time you use it. It features both long and short barrel lengths for various hair types and textures. Currently, you can snag a limited edition of the red and gold version. It’s sold out directly from Dyson, but some retailers like Mecca still have a few left.
Saint Laurent SL276MICA001
As a woman, I can attest that we can never have too many pairs of sunglasses — and this pair from Saint Laurent is incredibly chic.
EAU Vacay Bag
We’d wager that these bags are going to be a major hit over the next year. They’re such a fun and practical bag choice for the summer.
Mejuri Pyra Oversized Hoops
Jewellery is another timeless Valentine’s Day gift idea! You truly can’t go wrong with something as elegant as earrings — and these triangle hoops from Mejuri offer a trendy spin on a modern classic.
Spell Renew Quilted Large Make-Up Bag
Any woman will tell you how challenging it is to find a stylish makeup bag that accommodates everything from skincare products to makeup and hair essentials. So, gifting her this spacious Spell make-up bag is a brilliant idea.

Few things are as alluring as lingerie for a Valentine’s Day gift. Sure, it might be a cliché, but it’s a highly effective one. I can personally vouch that this set, or any from Kat the Label, will be very well-received.
Brooki Cookies
If your girl has a sweet tooth, Brooki Bakehouse is a must for a delectable gift idea. The six-pack of chunky cookies includes some of the viral TikTok flavors like NYC cookie (dark choc walnut), Nutella milk choc chip, red velvet, Bischoff, double chocolate, and classic choc chip.
LVLY Flowers
Flowers on Valentine’s Day might feel like a cliché, but who cares? When the bouquet looks this stunning, what girl wouldn’t be delighted?!
