Flowers and chocolate are a fool-proof choice and always appropriate for Valentine’s Day. However, for sweethearts seeking more original offerings, here are some suggestions to spoil – and surprise! – your significant other this February 14th.
Look for gifts that inspire well-being, self-care and some much-deserved down time. As a plus, presents that pamper will also remind your loved one of you with every use. Opt for a relaxing bath gel, a scented candle or a chocolate-flavoured tea. Looking for something on the glamourous side? You can’t go wrong with champagne, cosmetics, a handbag or jewellery. Or, if you want to impress the vegetarian in your life, a book by renowned chef Yotam Ottolenghi is just the ticket.

Any guy will be delighted to receive clothing, an electronic device or an accessory thoughtfully selected just for him — and with love!
