10 Gift Ideas For Her That She’ll Actually Love For Valentine’s Day

If she loves luxury lingerie…

The key to finding the right lingerie set is to look for a set that combines comfort with class and sophistication with femininity. Look to the Maverick Underwire Bra from Kat The Label for a bra that hits all the marks. Pair this lacy bra with the Rosie Thong for a romance-ready Valentine’s gift. For the ultimate in loungewear comfort, or if she loves silhouette-smoothing support, why not wrap up some key pieces from SKIMS? From cosy pyjamas to sharp shapewear, there’s something for everyone in every size and colour. 

If she loves champagne…

Make this Valentine’s a toast to the golden age, with a glass of elegant champagne that will make her feel extra special. In this inspired bottle of bubbles, Moët & Chandon have crafted the ultimate in romance gifting: the Impérial Giftbox. Created in 1869, this decadent drop is renowned for its bright fruitiness, seductive palate and its elegant maturity. Impress her with your culinary knowledge by pairing this bottle with a meal of seafood or white meat followed by a picnic of desserts. Delightful!

If she loves perfume…

Finding the right perfume that compliments who she is can be a task. Rather than spending hours trawling through scent libraries, the secret to finding the perfect fragrance for her is looking at the scent’s narrative. A perfume is rarely just a nice-smelling product. It’s a blend of olfactory references scientifically balanced in just the right way to stir up the imagination. Therefore, your best course of action when finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for her is to find a fragrance narrative that you think will speak to her.

Penhaligon’s: The Coveted Duchess Rose EDP

The latest in Penhaligon’s Portraits Collection, The Coveted Duchess Rose EDP offers a blend of mandarin, rose and musky wood paired with a daring narrative. The Coveted Duchess Rose embodies the tale of Lady Blanche and Lord George’s daughter, who fled to marry a Duke to escape the rigidity of her parents. Elusive and unique, The Coveted Duchess Rose is imbued with the same resounding and sophisticated energy, as unique and wonderful as she is. 

Jo Malone London: Red Roses Cologne

What’s better than a bouquet of flowers? A bouquet of flowers she’ll be able to wear, like the Jo Malone London Red Roses Cologne. Featuring a blend of seven of the world’s most exquisite roses, this floral fragrance unfolds like a bouquet of freshly cut flowers. For the ultimate in fragrance gifting, combine two fragrances to create a scent that’s so wonderfully her. Pair this fragrance with the Lime Basil & Mandarin for a clean floral combination, or Blackberry & Bay for something a little fruitier. For a voluptuous floral combo, pair it with Peony & Blush Suede. Or, if she’s a fragrance aficionado, why not gift her all three? It’s Valentine’s Day, after all.

If she loves shoes…

Shoes, glorious shoes. Indulge in her inner Carrie Bradshaw this Valentine’s Day with a pair of stunning Cher Crystal Mules from Sebastian Milano. Handcrafted in Italy, these mules feature the brand’s iconic Clotilde heel, an angled, slim stiletto for added drama. Unique, chic and highly coveted, these shoes in particular are a rare find, so you can rest easy knowing she won’t have anything else like it in her collection. Best of all, this particular shade of Barbie-core pink will easily pair with any ensemble, making them her new, go-to shoe of choice.

If she loves chic bags…

Speaking of Barbiecore, for the woman who has everything, nothing will delight her more than an exclusive-to-David-Jones bag like the Pearl Top Handle Bag from Olga Berg. Featuring a pearl bead top handle,  a removable shoulder chain, and enough room to fit a smartphone, this elegant bag is the ideal statement accessory for date nights, dinners, drinks with friends, and more. All she needs is a pair of her favourite pearl earrings, and you’re ready to hit the town.

If she adores artistic homewares…

Artistic bowls are an underrated Valentine’s gift. Practical, stylish, and bursting with personality, she’ll be looking for any occasion to show your gift off to guests. For a dish with a twist, the Amore Plate from In The Roundhouse serves up nothing but love. Crafted and designed in collaboration with Sydney-based contemporary artist Daimon Downey, this romance-inspired plate is made from new bone china with a clear glaze on the top. Dishwasher, microwave and food safe, this plate can be gifted on its own, or along with any of the other designs from In The Roundhouse.

If she loves upgrading her skincare routine…

This Valentine’s Day, surprise her with the perfect excuse to pamper herself: a beauty gift set. We love skincare gift sets because they tick several boxes for a Valentine’s gift. It’s practical (hello, glowing skin!), it’s already wrapped, and it usually features a collection of the brand’s must-have products to sample. Look for a gift set that encourages pampering and self-care, like the Black Rose Cream Mask Gift Set from Sisley. Rich in anti-aging ingredients with a smoothing and plumping action, she’ll be over the moon with this luscious gift.

If she loves chocolates…

Chocolates are always a good idea, not just as a Valentine’s Day gift but also as a very special just-because gift. Decadent, delicious and great for sharing, you can never go wrong with a box of her favourites. Rather than reaching for the plain chocolates, look for something with a little oomph, like the Duchess Of Sweet Passionfruit Marshmallow Delights. Light and fluffy, these passionfruit marshmallow chocolates come wrapped up in a small, stylish gift box. Whether a garnish or as the main gift, she’ll love nibbling on these sweet treats.

If she loves makeup…

If her makeup bag looks like it’s in danger of overflowing, then she might just be a makeup fanatic. For makeup lovers, lean into luxury treat-yourself products, like the Lustreglass Lipstick by M·A·C Cosmetics. A creamy combination of jojoba, raspberry seed, coconut and organic extra-virgin olive oils nourishes the lips, while shea butter conditions and hyaluronic acid help to keep them moisturised and hydrated. 

Psst. Unsure of her exact shade? For a lipstick gifting pro tip, see if you can take a photo of any of her current lipsticks. Try to capture the name of the brand, and the colour of the lipstick itself. Show these sneaky snaps to any of our instore makeup specialists, and they’ll be able to find the perfect shade for her collection.
