Valentine’s day gift guide: seriously luxurious present ideas under £100

Who doesn’t love receiving jewellery on Valentine’s Day, especially a piece as pretty as this? We adore the very apt heart design and the romantic red tourmaline stones encased in each one. Inspired by antique Victorian jewels, whoever wears this will feel like a queen.

Book a night out for you and your valentine at this immersive experience, which will see you have a very fun (but maybe not the most romantic) 14 February. Arrive at ABQ London, which is based in Hackney Fun House, and pull on a boiler suit and some goggles ready to enter the lab. 

Throughout the night you’ll play at being a scientist and try making your own molecular cocktails using dry ice, foam, bubbles and nitrous oxide.

We’ve raved about the wonders of silk pillowcases and how they can improve the texture of your hair and help protect your skin, so we definitely wouldn’t say no to one of these landing in our laps come Valentine’s Day.

Candles are an essential part of any romantic night in, so if you’re planning on spending valentines day at home, use your present to set the mood. We’re suckers for rose at the best of times, and this heady, floral scent has been taken to the next level with smoky, woody base notes.

There’s no better time for a snuggly cardigan like this one than February. Not only do we love that it still feels vaguely festive, it has a granny-cool vibe about it, too. This lovely piece is made from 100% Pure New Wool and made on the Shetland Isles, which means guaranteed cosiness.

This may be a book of love poems, but it’s far from your stereotypical valentines tome. There Are Girls like Lions is like a love letter to womanhood, bringing together 30 poems which pay homage to the experiences of being a woman, from motherhood to ageing. 

It’s just a coincidence that the gorgeous pink and red book art feels fitting of the day, but a very pretty coincidence at that.
