2023 Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Whatever you Love
There’s a lot about Valentine’s Day that’s overdone. Over-the-top dinner reservations, heart-shaped chocolates, bouquets of roses and blingy jewellery, yawn.
This year, we’re shaking things up by considering gifts that are a little more personal and sentimental. We’ve rounded up the best gift ideas for him, for her and for whoever you love.
Loving Threads
Gifting a considered piece of clothing for Valentine's may be a little unorthodox, but it can be a sweet way to remind your loved one of you every time they wear it. Try finding a matching shirt to one you already own so you can twin, or sourcing a special piece they would look amazing in or have been saving their coins for.
DeCjuba Camilla Swing Skirt $119.95 and matching crop $79.95
Perfume
Consider their favourite florals, fruits and flavours and find a gorgeous scent that incorporates these. Bonus points for buying another for yourself so that the scent reminds you of them and them of you.
Mecca Maxima Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist 240ml, $53.
A New Signature Jewellery Piece
Although jewels are a tried and true gift, this year opt for something less ‘valentines-y’ and more a symbol of their individuality, a reflection of how beautiful they are to you - but in jewellery form. Go classic and classy with a pair of earrings they will want to wear daily or source a hand-crafted piece complete with their favourite gems or even your initials engraved. How sweet.
Bevilles Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Initial Necklace, $29.99.
Swarovski Matrix Hoop Earrings, $215.
DIY Gifts
Although it may take a little more time and effort than buying a box of chocolates, there’s a lot more heart in these gifts. Try your hand at baking them a delicious cake with their favourite flavours and colours in mind to devour on your night of love. For the less chef inclined, pre-pay for a pottery or painting class for the both of you to go along together and make some lovely memories.
Tech Gifts that will impress
If gift-giving is their love language, something useful would be ideal. Show your loved one how much their peace of mind matters to you by making their life a little easier with something like an Airtag to put on their keys, a smartwatch to help them track their day-to-day or new pair of headphones to better enjoy their favourite tunes.
Apple Apple Watch Ultra Titanium Case with Orange Alpine Loop, $1299
Big W Liquid Ears Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, $40.95
Caring with Skincare
Protect the one you love by investing in tailored skincare products to take better care of their skin. A high-quality sunscreen to ward off sun damage, a rich vitamin c to nourish their skin, or even a topping-up serum targeted towards your partner’s skin needs are not just functional, but also incredibly thoughtful ways to show love through gifting.
Priceline DERMA E Vitamin C Concentrated Serum 60 mL $36.99
Priceline The Quick Flick Quick Screen Glowy Finishing Spray SPF50+ 90 mL
