The day of lurrrrve is fast approaching! What are you going to get your loved one? I’ve put together a Valentine’s Day Gift Guide that showcases delicious treats, items for her, items for him and even something to help you set the mood.
Please note – Some of the items included in this gift guide were gifted but all views are my own.
Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Pamper Hamper from 7th Heaven – £9.99 – Available from Amazon
As a Mum of two girls, this is possibly one of the best gifts my husband could give me on Valentine’s Day evening. We don’t have a chance to get out for a romantic meal as we have a 6 month old daughter, so a nice bath and an evening with a face mask on is just perfect.
My daughter loved it too!
Heart Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Spoon Set – £9.95 – Available from Cocobachocolate.com
This delicious set of three milk hot chocolate melt-in-the-cup spoons are topped with fluffy heart marshmallows, and make a brilliant alternative to a standard box of choccies this year.
Simply heat up a mug of milk until steaming (I use my oat milk) and then slowly add a hot chocolate spoon and keep stirring until it all melts. Enjoy!
Nanogen Hair Growth Factor Serum – £29.95 – Available from Nanogen.com
This is a bit of a personal choice from myself – but I’m including as it makes a brilliant gift for those postpartum mummy’s like myself. My postpartum hair is NOT good – I have little bits poking up all over the place, and this serum is certainly helping me with my regrowth journey.
It’s non-oily and smells and feels amazing too.
Skinny Tan’s Cherry Face & Body Drops – £14.99 – Available from www.skinnytan.co.uk/
Sweet as can be this Valentine’s Day with Skinny Tan’s Cherry Drops! Bursting with skin-loving ingredients, including Vitamin E and Aloe Vera, each drop of the Cherry Face & Body Drops will boost skin with tropical sun-kissed radiance – and transform body lotions into a hydrating gradual tanner. The formula also has a delicious scent of red cherries! To customise your glow add 3-5 drops for a medium tan or 6-8 for a darker result. Mix with daily oil-free face or body moisturiser for a beautifully radiant result that develops over 6-8 hours.
Super Facialist Men’s Age Defence Serum – £16 – Available from https://www.superfacialist.co.uk/
A lightweight serum powered by Retinol and Niacinamide to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Targets first signs of ageing while boosting hydration with Cactus Water for skin that feels softer and more moisturised. Before your moisturiser, apply 2-3 pumps onto cleansed face and neck at night. We suggest building up Retinol use, so start with using 2-3 times per week for a week before moving to daily use. If applying the serum in the morning, we recommend following with a SPF15 to reduce skin sensitivity.
Had to make sure there was something that my husband particularly needs in this gift guide…
Slow Ageing Essential Bath & Shower Essence -£58 – Available from https://slowageing.co.uk/
Juniper, rose geranium, cypress and rosemary 100% pure and active essential oils restore and rebalance body and mind for total relaxation while easing away aches and pains. Vitamin E-rich natural hazelnut oil deeply nourishes and soothes the epidermis; skin is left velvety and deliciously scented. Use for bathing or showering at any time to rehydrate & nourish leaving skin feeling soft & smooth, fight the damaging free radicals to slow the effects of skin ageing and de-stress & restore a state of relaxation & harmony.
Again, something that can be gifted for either him or her, but I think it makes a brilliant gift for my Valentine’s evening pamper night.
Carrie Elspeth Jewellery – Shine Heart Spaced Necklace – £19.99 – Available from CarrieElspeth.co.uk
Okay, I am legit obsessed with the Carrie Elspeth Jewellery collection, and will be 100% gifting all my loved ones an item from the collection this year, whether that’s for Easter, Mother’s Day or Christmas.
The Shine Heart Spaced Necklace is one of my absolute favourites from the collection, but the unique collection is so bright, uplifting and beautiful – it really was hard to choose just one.
Take a look at the website and explore unique jewellery like you’ve never seen before.
Lakrids by Bulow BRAND NEW Peach Flavour Liquorice – from £11 – available from LakridsbyBulow.co.uk
PEACHES unites sweet notes from juicy peaches with a core of sweet liquorice, all smothered in soft white chocolate and a hint of passionfruit. A crispy sugar shell adds the final crunch. It’s a great gift for those of us who are not big choccie fans.
Discovery Spice Box – £9.99 – Available from JustSpices.co.uk
My husband an I both love to cook together, so this makes a really great gift so that we can explore new flavours and tastes, and also curate some new dishes with one another.
The spices include: chicken seasoning, potato allrounder, pizza topping, egg topping, pasta allrounder, sandwich seasoning, vegetable allrounder and avocado topping.

Create the perfect mood lighting with a 4lite smart bulb, with 16 million colours and 64,000 shades of white and fully dimmable via the WiZ app where you can also find plenty of features such as creating schedules and routines, night lights, circadian rhythm settings, energy saving and much more.

Long lasting, the LED bulb has a lifetime of 25,000 hours – and as it’s LED, it will also save on your energy bills compared to traditional incandescent, CFL and halogen bulbs.
Here’s some colour tips from 4lite which can help you set the mood this Valentine’s Day:
- Red: The classic colour of love, lust and passion, red is a popular choice for Valentine’s Day and psychology studies even suggest it elicits feelings of attraction. Choose red to create a romantic mood instantaneously for your date night. If you favour red but don’t want to go all out, lean more towards the more mellow sunset colours of dusky red and burnt orange such as those in the ‘Sunset’ pre-set scene.
- Pink: For an instant date night, you can’t go wrong with the colour pink, traditionally associated with love. Pink is warm, sweet and even playful depending if you opt for lighter and delicate pinks or brighter, fun hot pink tones. To upgrade the look, choose the ‘Romance’ pre-set scene to slowly transition between illustrious pinks and bewitching purples.
- Yellow: If red is too much and you’re not enamoured by pink, move further along the colour temperature chart to other warm and soft colours such as yellow, which can help put you in a more romantic mood without being too cliché. Warm yellow hues are more subtle and relaxing and yet are a far cry from the stark whites and blues of many traditional bulbs. To automatically dim your lights and switch to a warm yellow glow, pick the ‘Cosy’ pre-set scene. This creates the perfect colour and lighting level whether you’re eating together or sharing a drink.
- Candlelight: Nothing says romance like candlelight but you don’t have to buy dozens of candles to set the scene for an enchanting date night – saving you the time of lighting each individual candle let alone the fire risk. Instead, choose the ‘Candlelight’ pre-set scene so your lights fade into a sophisticated flickering of romantic candles. What’s more, when you’re off to bed you can simply switch off rather than traipsing around blowing out every candle.
