Whatever your feelings about Valentine’s Day – the epitome of romance or all just a bit naff – it’s best to err on the side of caution and not let it go unnoticed. Best, then, to seize on the opportunity to turn date night into a special occasion. And while we’re sure you’ve had the best table in the house booked at that cosy neighbourhood restaurant you both love for weeks now (right?), if you’ve yet to find the perfect gift, allow us to lend a helping hand. Whether she’s a foodie, beauty fanatic or jewellery aficionado, read on for our edit of this year’s best luxury Valentine’s Day gifts for women.
Valentine’s Day fashion gifts
Prefer to beat the crowds and spend Valentine’s Day at home? Even with a great fine-dining delivery and a good bottle of champagne, it can be hard to recreate the atmosphere of a romantic restaurant when you’re surrounded by the detritus of your kitchen-table ‘home office’. What you can do, however, is make her feel glamorous with something gorgeous straight from the racks of Harrods or Harvey Nics. We’ve got a few suggestions…
De La Vali Cosmopolitan maxi dress
There’s nothing more befitting Valentine’s Day than pretty pastel pink or fiery scarlet but, for something she can wear again and again long after, classic black is your best bet. With its romantically draped hem and statement feathered sleeves, De La Vali’s Cosmopolitan grown is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
Amina Muaddi Camelia stilettos
The thought of buying shoes for your other half may feel faintly terrifying – but you can never really go wrong with classic black stilettos. Especially if you choose a pair from brand-of-the-moment Amina Muaddi.
Sleeper metallic pyjamas
If you’re more likely to find her in her pyjamas by 5pm than out dancing ’til 5am, turn to Sleeper – long the go-to for stylish quality leisurewear. This glamorous metallic set features a (kitchen) disco-ready flared silhouette in a scarlet hue woven with metallic threads.
Gucci Heart GG shoulder bag
Making a subtle nod towards Valentine’s Day but in a classic hue that won’t mean you’ve dropped £1,500 on a once-a-year purchase, Gucci’s heart-shaped shoulder bag is a fun update on the brand’s hugely popular camera bag design.
Valentine's Day beauty gifts
We could all do with a little pampering now and then and, thankfully, beauty brands are stepping up to provide Valentine’s Day gifts she'll love. You could buy her yet another bottle of the perfume she's been wearing for years but why not treat her to a properly lavish fragrance? Alternatively, beauty bag classics in pretty packaging make for the ultimate luxury treat.
Creed Wind Flowers
Creed has been creating fine fragrances from its London home since 1760 – so isn’t it about time she tried one? Crafted to celebrate grace, strength and femininity, the new Wind Flowers perfume features sparkling notes of jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose and sandalwood.
Gucci Rouge À Lèvres Voile Lipstick
She probably needs no introduction to Gucci’s Rouge À Lèvres lipstick. It’s been a best-seller since former creative director Alessandro Michele reintroduced it in 2019 – in large part thanks to its huge 58-shade selection. Since then, a number of hues have been redressed in gorgeous vintage-inspired bullets which are in equal parts beauty product and fashion accessory.
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk set
Not sure what her preferred beauty products are? Just get her one of everything then. Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk set comes with everything she needs to create a glamorous, romantic makeup look that will get you a lot of brownie points.
Sarah Chapman Glow Heroes
Sarah Chapman makes the kind of seriously luxe (and seriously effective) skincare that is just sightly too pricey for most of us to invest in on an everyday basis – but which is always gratefully received as a gift. Can’t find any in her bathroom cabinet right now? Gift her the Glow Heroes set to have all your bases covered.
Valentine's Day foodie gifts
Some people are born to host and, if your wife or girlfriend is one of them, you're in the privileged position of having an easy gift recipient on your hands – because no true host can ever have too much colourful tableware or too many stylish kitchen accessories.
Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial gift box
A big day calls for a special bottle and few champagnes will make a bigger impact then those in a bespoke gift box. This special edition Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial comes in a metal tin that can be personalised with a name or message and reused long after the fizz is gone.
Harvey Nichols Love You hat box
Wine and chocolates may be classic Valentine’s Day gifts – but it’s for a reason. Presented in a chic hat box and packed with treats, including giant love hearts, champagne and raspberry coconut ice, Harvey Nichols’ Love You hamper takes tradition to the next level.
Helle Mardahl pedestal cake stand
No hostess’ kitchen is complete without an elegant cake stand but forget chintzy florals and cutesy prints – modern chefs need contemporary equipment. Danish designer Helle Mardahl specialises in bold handblown glass designs guaranteed to impress.
Wiston Estate Blanc des Blancs
If she’s one of the many to have discovered the excellent English Sparkling Wines coming out of the UK over the last few years, indulge her new passion with a bottle of Wiston Estate’s delicious Blanc de Blancs NV. Made using traditional methods at a gorgeous vineyard in Sussex, why not go the whole hog and treat her to a stay in one of the Estate’s cosy self-catering cottages as well?
Valentine's Day home gifts
Even something as small as a bouquet of flowers can be enough to make a room feel new again. But why stop at a simple bouquet when you can gift gorgeous interior accessories and design upgrades she can love day after day?
Vaisselle glass jug
Whether she uses it to hold the dozen red roses you’ve gifted her alongside or as a seriously chic water vessel at your next dinner party, Vaisselle’s mouth-blown glass jug is a talking point she’s going to want to show off time and time again.
Smythson Mara jewellery box
You’ve been gifting her gorgeous gems for years – so why not mix things up this time and give her something elegant to keep them in? Crafted in an elegant sandstone crocodile-embossed calf leather, Smythson’s offering features compartments for her entire collection.
Chopard alarm clock
An alarm clock may not be a traditional Valentine’s gift – but we defy any woman not to fall in love with this exceptionally chic offering from Chopard. Featuring all the hallmarks of a fine Swiss watch, including Super-LumiNova coated hand and markers, a Swiss-made quartz movement and a cabochon crown adjuster, waking up has never looked better.
Byredo Trois Encens gift set
For a gift that will remind of her of your magical date night long after the dinner has been eaten and the champagne sipped, Byredo’s incense set is the perfect gift for the girl who always has a scented candle burning.
Valentine's Day watch and jewellery gifts
If all else fails, you can’t go wrong with diamonds. Or rubies, sapphires and emeralds, for that matter. The mere sight of a box in Tiffany blue or Harry Winston navy is, after all, enough to get most hearts racing. If your pockets don't go quite that deep, we've also found plenty of options that will impress and still leave you with change for dinner and drinks.
Breguet Classique Phase de Lune 9085 - Valentine’s Day Edition
This seasonal special edition of Breguet’s timeless Classique moon phase watch has been rendered in hand-engraved mother-of-pearl, studded with rubies and finished with Breguet Arabic numerals. Beneath the dial, a calibre 537L self-winding movement is housed in an 18 carat white gold case and ringed with shimmering white diamonds. Created as a limited edition of 28, gifts don’t come much more showstopping than this.
Yvonne Léon Rainbow Heart bracelet
Inspired by Parisian flea markets and the flamboyant colours of the 1980s, Yvonne Léon makes vibrant jewels that are chic as they are statement. Featuring a dazzling rainbow of heart cut sapphires, this is the quintessential Valentine’s piece.
Cartier Panthère de Cartier diamond watch
If she’s already got a Love bracelet, it’s time to upgrade her to some serious Cartier finery. The Panthère de Cartier is possible the brand’s most famous watch and, when studded with diamonds and crafted in 18 karat pink gold, a true heirloom.
Suzanne Kalan Firework diamond and sapphire earrings
Suzanne Kalan’s masterful work with coloured stones makes her pieces perfect for gifting – and what could be more fitting for Valentine’s Day than these pretty-in-pink Firework earrings? Featuring baguette cut sapphires punctuated with round white diamonds, they’re the epitome of elevated everyday jewellery.
