The day of dread is almost upon you and we’re not talking the end of the world or a zombie apocalypse – we’re referring to Valentine’s Day. February 14th is one of the very few days of the year that you have to brush the dust off your Casanova skills to wine and dine her. Whether she admits it to you or not, your significant other (S.O.) will expect you to turn up and on the romance. One way please her is through gifts of affection, so here are 10 best Valentine’s Day gifts that will melt her heart.
1. Feeling Emotion
You can never go wrong with gifting her some bling and if you’re on a budget Swarovski’s Emotion necklace will get you major brownie points, as well as not break the bank. The necklace is plated with rose gold and the word “love” is highlighted with crystal pave. Swarovski Emotion Necklace, $79.
2. Shine Your Heart
Cohabiting? There’s nothing like having a large light up heart hanging on wall to show her how much you care. This show-stopping heart-shaped neon lamp will make her swoon the moment she steps through the door. Jonathan Adler Neon Letter Lamp “Heart,” $95 USD.
3. Hoop Dreams
Jewellery option number two is these classic looking hoop earrings from German jeweller Thomas Sabo. They’re made from sterling silver and plated with 18K rose gold, which we guarantee she’ll wear 24/7. Thomas Sabo Glam & Soul Hinged Hoops, $189.
4. Time for Love
She’ll be calling you the Love Doctor when she finds that you got her this stylish watch from Rumbatime. The slim yet durable silicone band and streamline face design makes this rose gold timepiece the perfect wrist accessory. Rumbatime Orchard 35mm Rose Gold Rose Watch, $45.
5. Bottled Up
She works nine to five and then hits gym or yoga studio like a fitness fanatic. Gift her with gear that not only performs well but looks good, such as this S’well bottle. S’well produces some of the most stylish and sought after reusable water bottles in the world, which keeps drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. Every time she takes a sip from it she’ll think of you. S’well Angel Food 25.oz Bottle, $45 USD.
6. / 7. Sexy Time
Everyone knows lingerie plays a very important part on Valentine’s Day – or should we say night – but you can’t buy her any old undergarments. We highly suggest that you turn to luxury lingerie brand Agent Provocateur. The company’s Bethanie bra and brief is a match made in heaven and by mankind; it’s constructed from sheer tulle giving it a romantic and sexy look and feel. Agent Provocateur Bethanie Tulle Bra, $190 USD; Agent Provocateur Bethanie Tulle Brief, $170 USD.
8. All-in-One
You may not be the type to wear your heart on your sleeve; however, show your affection in the form of this next level gift by luxury e-retailer Net-a-Porter. If you’re not familiar with the company, they’re known as the Rolls Royce of online shopping websites for women. And for Valentine’s Day they’ve specially selected their favourite treats and put it in their Love Box. Net-A-Porter The Love Box, $425 USD.
9. Lovely Feet
Similar to how you get worked up over seeing a fine looking luxury car, women will get worked up over a good looking pair of shoes. On Valentine’s Day treat her feet to these metallic leather and rose-gold coloured sandals from Los Angeles brand JOIE A La Plage. JOIE A La Plage San Remo Sandals, $150.
Wink Wink
Next to shoes handbags rate at the top of a women’s must-have list and this Kate Spade clutch will guarantee you endless hugs and kisses on February 14th.

I have a present to share that my hubby gave me. It was a Dreamlines created sketch of my wedding dress. The detail was stunning and after a few tears I was able to compose myself. Truly the most remarkable present he has ever given me.
