If there’s absolutely anything anyone you ask would tell you about me, is that I love ‘love’. As a strongly passionate activist of romantic comedies, romantic dramas and Bollywood’s outrageously cheesy romantics in particular, it’s no secret that my favourite day to fall each year is Valentine’s Day.

It isn’t the only day where love is recognised, which is rightly so, because it should be celebrated every day, but it is the one day where the world universally celebrates love in a special way. So yes, it’s that time of year again, and whether you’re in a relationship, or a complication-ship, now is about the time where you’re scratching your brain to find the perfect gift. And just in case you’ve totally blanked on buying a gift this year, we’ve got you covered with this gift guide. Regardless of budget, and whether you’re looking for him or her, our curated shopping list will save your Valentine’s Day. From the cliches of flowers and chocolates, to the more personal of presents, here are your top 7 Gifts for a perfect Valentine’s Day.

The Outfit

There isn’t anything that compares to the feeling of knowing you were remembered, and this is why this first category is at the top. A special day deserves an equally special outfit; and if it’s one that’s hand picked by your special someone, it’ll make this Valentine’s Day the best one running. For a quiet dinner and drinks date, shop one of Sarvin’s stunning formal dresses matched with strappy heels and a pair of statement earrings. Fancy a wild night at the club instead? Shop a more fashion forward look from Giuseppe Zanotti that is sure to make your date stand out. Plus, clothing isn’t something that stays exclusive to valentine’s day, so this gift idea is likely to give back repeatedly. A little black dress can go a long way.

Lingerie

Romance and intimacy go hand in hand, and if Valentine’s Day isn’t the day that screams intimacy, then I don’t know what is. Lingerie is a classic choice. A soft and sultry, yet equally sexy lingerie set, is likely to ensure that your night gets off to the right start (and end). No matter what kind of day I’m having or how my hair looks, the one thing that will always make me walk confidently into a room is if I have on nice underwear; always. This takes your relationship with that special someone to the next level. Boys, don’t be intimidated. Walk into her favourite lingerie store with confidence. After all, if it’s your choice, she is likely to adore it! Need some inspiration? Here are my favourites!

Jewellery

Now just because were progressive, doesn’t mean we can forget traditions. Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend surely knew what they were talking about. From fine jewellery to statement single earrings, prepare to make your loved one smile. There isn’t a subtler yet personal way to show your adoration, from Opus’ dainty pieces, a necklace guaranteed to make your Valentine smile, to afew Jewels’ more dramatic pieces, jewellery is the way to go. If you’re considering spending your life with this person, no better day to pop the question!!

Watches

Regardless of the time you and your loved one have spent together, the time you plan to have ahead is endless. So either for the pun of loving each other “until the end of time” or because you’re looking for a present that’s a little less intimate, a watch is a gift that matches your criteria.

The Perfect Bag

For the lady who loses her keys, a key pouch or catch-all is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, and another great way to get into luxury accessories. This is a gift that will make sure your significant other is always reminded of you, each time she reaches for her pen or to pay for a coffee. A work bag in a small size the ultimate business accessory. With loads of internal pockets, with cable paths, it’s perfect to carry a personal and business device. There’s even an option to include a charger pack to recharge all of the gadgets on the go.

Sunglasses

This year, why not think outside the box and consider a type of gift a little different from the usual jewellery, flowers or confectionery. An easy way to hit that luxury quality regardless of your budget is gifting sunglasses. It’s coming to that time where the sun is staying out for longer, and the fresh smell of the sea is becoming even more tempting. From the surfer girl to boss lady, a pair of statement sunglasses always complete the look. Choose a high end name or label that they adore and surprise them with a new pair of designer sunglasses just in time for spring! Here is what’s hot this SS19.

Home decor

If you’ve passed that half year mark, or are considering moving in, or are living together happily ever after, there is no better way than introducing some love into your lives than at the place that is most sacred; home. From something as little as cushions covers, this is a gift that is likely to make your significant other’s heart melt. For a gift that is just as personal as jewellery and lingerie, another great gift for valentines morning is a gorgeous personalised wooden tray from Texas and the Artichoke. This is a great detail to add if you’re one to woo with breakfast in bed. Make this morning, and every other morning, Valentines Day with your significant other.
