Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2025

We are just under three weeks away from Valentine’s Day, the first gifting occasion of the New Year, so this post is dedicated to gifting ideas, a guide to some of the lovely things you could treat the lady in your life to.

As ever, I will add to this as time moves forward, and there will be a follow-up with some ideas for men coming up later this week.

Cream Love Heart Embroidered Jumper From Simply Be

We’ve all heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve, but how about wearing your heart on your jumper. This is the gorgeous idea made real by Simply Be this Valentine’s Day in the form of the Cream Love Heart Embroidered Jumper. In an oversized style with a gorgeous red love heart in a stitch design, with ribbed collar and cuffs, this is a lovely, comfortable and practical gift idea that you can wear for your special day, and many days afterwards.

This is the perfect gift for a romantic fashion lover.

Vendula London Purrlesque Club Satin Square Neckerchief

Vendula London are the destination when you are looking for a cute, quirky, unique gift idea. The Purrlesque Club Satin Square Neckerchief says that it is a neckerchief, which indicates a small square, when this is, in fact a really decent size (69cm x 69cm).

The scarf is super cute, with a cat in the moon design, in 100% polyester. This is a perfect versatile gift that could be added to a bag handle, worn as a scarf around the neck, or even Grace Kelly style around the head to protect the hair. It is glamorous and gorgeous – what’s not to love!

Mesh Pleated Ballet Dress From JD Williams

If you have a special date night planned for Valentine’s Day, then a brand new dress could be a brilliant gift idea. JD Williams have some brilliant picks this January/February, and my current fave pick is the Mesh Pleated Ballet Dress with is soft and pretty, and has the most brilliant use of colour and pattern.

This dress has full length sleeves, a crew neckline which would be a perfect base for a statement necklace. It has a lovely, full swing pleated skirt and is a maxi length (50 inches).  The fabric is printed, stretchy mesh, with a composition of polyester and elastane.

A personalized gift from Vistaprint

I always say that personalised gifts which have personal messages and photographs attached are a fun and yet thoughtful gift idea that will always delight. They truly show thought for the recipient, and I have previously shown some of the fab designs from VistaPrint.

This Valentine’s Day, if you are looking for a personalised gift for the special person in your life, then you could go for a mug, with either a treasured photograph, or a funny slogan on. You have complete control of the creativity for your item, and can edit your work as you go along, opting for colour or black and white, for a cartoon image or a personal photograph – the choice really is yours. Another gift idea, one that could appeal particularly to a pet lover – dog or cat, is a personalised pet face cushion which is not only a cute and cosy gift, but is sure to be absolutely cherished by the recipient.

A  Love Bear from Mood Bears

Mood Bears are brilliant whatever your age, as they offer comfort and allow you to express your feelings for someone special, without needing any words. From Tomy, Mood Bears are described as a way to help you ‘express love in a unique and heartfelt way.’

These are a perfect gift, whether it be for a partner, a friend, or even yourself.

WINTER EVERYDAY HIGH WAISTED LEGGINGS From Lovall

With the weather being oh so cold, a Winter essential buy is a thoughtful and practical present. When it comes to leggings, Lovall is the leader, and this year, their WINTER EVERYDAY HIGH WAISTED LEGGINGS are perfect in that they are fashionable, have a brilliant fit, and are super warm and stylish.

They come in a range of sizes and fits, including petite and tall, they have a range of styles, including a cool flared leg, and in a vast range of colours, which are added to every season. My current personal favourites are the Black Coffee shade.

I love the level of support these offer with their supportive high-rise waistband and also the fact that they have a non-see-through guarantee.

Valentine’s Underwear From Simply Be

Beautiful lingerie is always a Valentine’s Day classic, and this year Simply Be have further improved their already impressive range of bras for bigger busts. Their lingerie experts at Simply Be have gathered some of their favourite, sexy but supportive bras to create the ultimate lingerie guide, with sizes up to a K cup. These include bras that are not only stunning in design, but are also supportive in terms of their structure and straps.

My personal favourites are the Figleaves Pulse Lace Underwired Plunge Bra   which comes in sizes B-G and the Ann Summers Everlasting Love DD+ Balcony Wired Bra Pink/Red which goes up to an H cup.

The Figleaves Pulse underwired bra has been named best newcomer in the Take the Plunge (best plunge) category in the Simply Be Customer Choice Awards. It’s sheer and sexy, really comfortable to wear and offers so much support (I wear mine in 42D and can say the support is incredible.)

The Ann Summers Everlasting Love DD+ Balcony Wired Bra Pink/Red is a gorgeously romantic bra in the prettiest of colours. Made with chic rose embroidery and finished off with red satin piping trim and gold-toned hardware, this is a bra that again offers support and beautiful design. Available in sizes up to H and with matching pants also available.

A Digital Gift Card From Prezzee

A gift card is always a great idea if you are stumped for what to give someone as a present, and the digital giftcards from Prezzee are fabulous as you can allow the recipient to chose their own choice of online store. Prezee makes gifting fun, personalised and seamless as it can be sent straight away, or could be  scheduled to arrive for Valentine’s Day, via text or email.

Prezzee cards can be redeemed at more than 190 major retailers and hospitality outlets. These includes brands perfect for anyone that takes fashion seriously, including brands such as Boohoo, ASOS, Nasty Gal, Adidas, Nike and H&M. You could also use it to pay for a Valentine’s Day meal as there are options from the likes of All Bar One, Ask Italian, Bella Italia and Gaucho. You can download the app, and have your gift card ready to go when you are ready to shop, which is pretty much the perfect gift idea.

Dr.PAWPAW Sticks Multipack

Dr.PAWPAW Sticks Multipack are a brilliant, affordable Valentine’s gift for a beauty lover this year. Perfect for the ultimate in kissable lips, the iconic Dr.PAWPAW Original Balm yellow tube is now available in stick format as part of a four piece multipack. Also included in the multipack are three tropical balms, 99% natural, enriched with the same award-winning formula as the Original Balm, with an added hint of Coconut, Mango and Watermelon for the ultimate tropical experience. The sticks are all vegan and cruelty free, so they tick lots of boxes, as well as being the ultimate iconic beauty treat.

You can currently get this fabulous gift for just £10, which is an amazing bargain and would also work well as a gift for your Galentine’s girlfiends too!

Tolpa Rosacal Range

Tolpa the cult skin care brand recently arrived in the UK from its native Poland, and I first tried the brand before Christmas. I was impressed with the formulations, which felt really soothing and helpful to my tired skin, and also impressed with the prices, with most of the products costing under £15. The range is now available, online, and on the High Street at Boots. 
The products make perfect gift ideas for Valentine’s/Galentine’s Day with the Rosacal range looking very glamorous in pretty pink packaging.There are ranges for dry skin (Lipidrio), oily skin (Sebio) and rosacea (Rosacal). Each is affordable and yet luxurious, and would certainly make a lovely gift idea for lovers of beauty and skincare.

If you love someone who loves the great outdoors, then check out the range at Mountain Warehouse this Valentine’s Day. They stock the cosiest pieces that are perfect for brisk Winter walks in the park, or weekends away, even just for watching football on the touchlines.

My key picks are the Thinsulate Fleece Lined Womens Hat & Glove Set which comes in a range of pretty colours and is currently available at the special price of £14.99. The Thinsulate Lining is brilliant in that it adds warmth without bulk. The densely packed fibres retain heat and are highly breathable

I also love the practical Lleyn Melange II Womens Fleece Hoodie. This is a Womens Full Zip Fleece is an ideal layer for your outfit this season. A hooded microfleece that is warm with antipill qualities ensuring the fleece stays soft for longer.It has a full zip fastening, and two front pockets useful for your mobile phone or keys. It is also lightweight, so it is great for packing or for a weekend getaway.
