Tom Ford Electric Cherry perfume

Perfume Direct

There’s something about Tom Ford’s Electric Cherry that just screams Valentine’s Day. From the chic cherry red glass bottle to the floral and fruity fragrance notes, it’s hardly surprising that this luxurious unisex scent is so popular. As you might expect from the name, it gives off a punchy burst of tart Morello cherry alongside a twist of spicy ginger, making for a warm, yet sweet and spicy scent. It's the type of fragrance that will have people stopping them to ask what they’re wearing and it’s exactly the kind of perfume that they might not splash out on themselves – making it a great gift idea.

New Balance trainers

New Balance

Available in a vibrant yellow or a more subdued blue, these versatile trainers will add a pop of colour to any outfit – from their everyday looks to something that bit more special. And thanks to their minimalist design, we have a feeling that they’ll quickly become a staple in their wardrobe. Going all the way from a UK size 4 through to a 10.5, they’re one of the best pairs of unisex shoes we’ve stumbled upon recently.

Cowshed handcare set

Cowshed

This one’s a pretty safe bet no matter who you’re buying for this year. Adding a bit of luxury to their home, it smells as good as it looks with a blend of lavender, grapefruit and bitter orange oils in the handwash while the moisturiser is made with nourishing shea and cocoa butter – and what's more, the stylish reusable caddy will last for years to come.

London Sock Company gift boxes

London Sock Company

Nothing lifts a mood quite like a flash of colourful sock and this six-piece gift set will help them seriously up their wardrobe game. With a vibrant hue to pick from Monday to Friday, these smart socks were inspired by London’s Savile Row but don’t let their sleek appearance fool you; their ribbed cotton design makes them super-soft and comfy too.

Trivento Malbec red wine

Trivento

Whether you have an at-home date night planned for V-day and are looking for the perfect accompaniment, or maybe you’ve been looking to expand your tastes when it comes to your weekly tipple, this award-winning red wine will surely go down a treat. Recommended specifically for tomato based and juicy meat dishes, the plum and raspberry aromas of this bright crimson red blend with some sweet vanilla notes, to create a great entry-level Malbec. Aged in French and American Oak barrels to develop the award-winning flavour, at under £10, you really can’t go wrong with a bottle of this plonk.

Drunk Elephant skincare travel set

Drunk Elephant

Perfect for holidays and mini breaks, this mini skincare bundle kit is a beauty lover’s dream. A full-size day cream is packed in alongside a firming serum, eye serum and bronzing drops for a dewy everyday glow — and the gorgeous gift box means no wrapping is required, just add ribbon!

Neal’s Yard Remedies moisturiser

Neal's Yard Remedies

We have a feeling that everyone’s skin could do with some extra hydration and moisture at this time of year, and this popular daily moisturiser from Neal’s Yard Remedies not only leaves skin feeling smooth, soft and nourished, but it’s also vegan-friendly, cruelty-free and certified organic. With hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and damask rose, it’s suitable for a wide range of skin types and conditions, too. NYR has collaborated with iconic textile brand William Morris on this limited edition design, meaning this bottle is bound to take pride of place on their bathroom shelf.

Beats headphones

AO.com

With plenty of five-star reviews, the Beats Studio Buds are available from AO.com in a vibrant red; talk about Valentine’s-coded! With around eight hours of battery life, they’ll essentially be able to listen to their favourite tunes or podcasts all day before charging them when they get home in the evening. Shoppers have praised their great sound quality, fit and snug charging case, and they also have the added bonus of being water resistant, which they’ll certainly appreciate not if but when they get caught in an unexpected rain shower or during a particularly sweaty workout. Plus, you can easily skip from one song to the next simply by tapping the corresponding bud, ideal if their phone is in another room or their pocket.

YSL Black Opium perfume

YSL Beauty

If the person in your life is a big fan of floral fragrances with a touch of elegance, look no further than YSL’s iconic Black Opium perfume. With top notes of pear accord and mandarin essence alongside heart notes of vanilla, orange blossom and white flowers, it’s the perfect blend of sweetness and spice. Finished off with a hint of black coffee accord, cedarwood essence, white musk and patchouli, it’s easy to see why this is one of the most complex floral perfumes on the market at the moment. We also can’t get enough of its glistening glitter adorned bottle, which will no doubt take pride of place on their dressing table or bedside cabinet.

Marshall headphones

Marshall

For the person who's always misplacing their in-ear earphones or AirPods, these fantastic wireless headphones from Marshall might be more their style. With 100+ hours of battery life on a single charge, they’ll take them to and from work, to the gym, through to their nightly gaming session with ease. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, they fold down into a compact shape to make taking them on-the-go or on their travels really effortless. All you have to decide is whether they’d prefer the classic black, buttery cream or rich brown colourway best. They’re just so stylish!

Stanley Aerolight IceFlow Bottle

Stanley

You might be familiar with their viral Quencher tumbler, but Stanley’s Aerolight IceFlow Bottle is even more practical for taking on-the-go to the gym, work, walks or with them on their daily errands, thanks to how lightweight and slimline it is. Made from recycled stainless steel and available in six fun colours – including a striking Citron yellow and sweet Lilac – it’s a great size to stay hydrated all day long, with the leak-proof lid also featuring a handy carry handle.

D&G The One EDP

Boots

Housed in a luxurious gold-accented bottle, if you’re looking to really treat your other half this year, D&G’s The One has got to be at the top of your list. Opening with top notes of bergamot and mandarin, mixed with the fruitiness of lychee and peach, jasmine, lily of the valley and Madonna lily add a floral edge. And there’s currently 50% off at Boots, making now the perfect time to buy.

Elizabeth Scarlett eye mask

Elizabeth Scarlett

How sweet is this heart print eye mask from Elizabeth Scarlett? Crafted from a super-soft velvet with delicate embroidered detailing and a frilly finish, it’s ideal for unwinding at night or keeping light out when they enjoy a much deserved lie in. And the brand have really leaned into the relaxing vibes by infusing the mask with soothing lavender – perfect for helping them to make the most of their beauty sleep. Plus, it comes with an accompanying pouch, allowing them to take it with them on their next flight or trip away. Every time they use it they’ll be reminded of you and your love.
