Words by Adeline Teoh·Monday 20 January 2025
What does your Valentine’s gift say about your relationship? Does food spell a partnership to savour? Will popping open a bottle of bubbly indicate love that makes you fizzy with excitement? Or does something hot keep the flames alive?
Our Valentine’s Day gift guide is here to help you find the perfect present for the one you love – or the one you’re crushing on.
Can’t decide what to get? Join our competition at the end for the chance to win every single item in the gift guide – to give your special someone, other loved ones, or keep for yourself.
$30 and under

Rosé D’Amélie rosé
Roses are cliché – rosé is not. From Luberon, a French region with a Mediterranean climate, this drop is crisp with berry and cherry notes, suitable as an aperitif or with light dishes. And it’s only $28.
Sorry Nonna gochujang arrabbiata
Sweet and spicy, with a hint of heat and umami, this special small-batch, Australian-made sauce ($12) could be the magic ingredient to flavour your Valentine’s Day.
GF Heim Sohne egg cup
L’oeuf is love, right? Breakfast in bed never looked so classy with these $22 designer egg cups made of acrylic in nine colourways.
Loops hydrogel face mask
Want a glow-up before you show up to your date? This moisture-rich mask might be as much for you as for your partner. At just $10, why not both?
Studio Éter Lovers candle
Candlelight is a classic way to set a romantic mood, and this twin-flamed hand-dipped beeswax number ($27) has more symbolism entwined in it than your typical tealight.
Citta Pinto placemat
Those who have a place in your heart should have a place at your table. Citta’s seagrass mat ($29.90) will make that special someone feel welcome.
$50 and under

Henri Laurent champagne
A fresh take on a signature celebration beverage, Henri Laurent champagne ($50) offers a fruity bouquet with a creamy mouthfeel – a pleasurable way to share the occasion.
Lovefound Spicy Flame Red Chilli lighter
You have the candles, now add a spark. Lovefound’s chilli-shaped lighter ($34.95) is a novel way to keep the flames alive.
Vesitia Signature claw clip
This Italian-designed hair accessory ($45) is a fan favourite for a reason: it’s made of premium bio-acetate and it works. Perfect for a long-haired lover.
Gentle Habits Immersion perfume oil
Down to earth yet elevated by exotic ingredients, Immersion is Gentle Habits’ roll-on perfume oil ($50) containing sweet orange and clove oils with tree resins, elemi and Peru balsam.
Frank Green cactus leather bottle holder
Are you a supportive partner? How about supporting the Frank Green fan in your life with a fun and stylish bottle holder (from $39.95) made of cactus leather, in one of four colours?
Gisou honey-infused lip oil
Gisou is helping your bisou with its honey-infused lip oil ($45). Kisses have never been so sweet – and glossy.
$100 and under

Roku Japanese gin
Elevate your courtship with Roku’s signature botanicals: cherry blossoms and leaves, green tea, sansho pepper and yuzu. It’s a gin as smooth as your moves ($78).
Yours Only coat bundle
Is dry skin the only thirst trap you’re seeing these days? Yours Only has a bundle of face and body moisturisers ($68) for that. It’s high on hydration and low on ingredients that provoke sensitive skin.
Softedge Studio snack plate
Prefer a stay-in date night over going out? This Australian-designed Japanese porcelain plate ($70) will elevate your movie nights and mini snack platters for two.
Atlas chrome braided bead coaster
When bling is the thing that’ll catch your lover’s eye, this beaded coaster ($70) makes any beverage special and develops a patina over time to give it a unique character.
House of Darwin bananas T-shirt
Get fresh (produce) with your date with the Indigenous-owned label’s Bananas T-shirt ($69.95). Its distinct retro charm is a cheeky “love letter to the Northern Territory”.
Diptyque Baies candle
With a name that translates to berries, you can expect this signature scent ($68) from the French fragrance house to smell like exactly that – berries, blackcurrant leaves and a hint of rose.
$250 and under

Moët & Chandon rosé brut NV
If it sparkles, it must be a special occasion. Celebrate in style with Moet & Chandon’s rosé brut ($120), an enticing red-fruit-forward sip with a “seductive palate”. Drink now, or cellar it for an anniversary.
Ficifolia Oh Darling perfume
With a base of amber, a heart of roses and peonies, and top notes of mandarin, honey and clementine, Oh Darling is twilight, fireworks and the promise of something new in a perfume ($189.99 for 100mL).
Bruxa Body Oil of Summer
An aphrodisiac you can use directly on skin to hydrate, in a bath, or as part of a sensual massage, Bruxa’s body oil ($115 for 100mL) carries the alluring scent of wild jasmine in a plant-based formula.
Aletheia & Phos I Carry Your Heart bracelet
Heart-shaped jewellery on Valentine’s Day might seem twee, but the Australian jewellery label has given the stereotype a twist with an anatomically accurate charm cast in sterling silver and plated in 14-carat gold on an Italian box chain bracelet ($249).
Kaarme Jewels Juni necklace
Looking for something unique? You’re not likely to find it at your local shops. Order a custom handcrafted beaded necklace ($180), which comes with a freshwater pearl feature, or a silver initial pendant for $10 more.
Youtopian Home Sandstorm throw blanket
Cosy up with your loved one under this gorgeous recycled cotton blanket ($199) by Youtopian Home. The reversible design sports two colourways so you can switch it up between seasons.
This competition has now ended. Congratulations to our winner Diana S
