Valentine's Day gifts for her
Valentine's Day is about romance, but it does not have to be cliché. Red roses and chocolates are welcome, and a preserved rose, a custom star map or an instant camera can feel more personal and last longer than one evening.
14 gift ideas
Luxe roses in a keepsake box
Long-stem roses in a hat box she will keep using long after the flowers are gone.
Preserved rose in a glass dome
A real rose treated to last for years. Romantic without being one-day-only.
Red velvet heart cake
Heart-shaped, cream-cheese frosted and very much about the two of you.
Premium chocolate box
Handmade truffles or a Belgian assortment. Small, elegant and easy to send.
Custom name necklace
Her name (or initial) in delicate script. Personal and wearable every day.
925 sterling silver pendant
A minimal heart or infinity pendant in hallmarked silver. Looks far pricier than it is.

The night sky exactly as it was on your wedding date or the day you met.

String up 20 favourite photos on her wall. Cosy, personal and cheap.
Surprise balloon decor at home
Someone comes home and decorates the room before she walks in. Book a day in advance.
Instant camera
Prints photos on the spot. Brilliant for trips, parties and her scrapbook.
Chocolate bouquet
Chocolates arranged like a bunch of flowers. A sweeter take on the birthday bouquet.
Questions people ask
What do girls actually like on Valentine's Day?
Effort and attention. A gift linked to something she said or loves always beats a generic teddy bear.
Is jewellery too much for a new relationship?
A simple pendant or earrings is fine. Save engraved or very expensive pieces for later.
