Valentine’s Day gift guide
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we know it can be hard to find the perfect gift for that special someone. So we’ve put together a gift guide to help you treat your partner (or yourself!) this Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day gifts for her
Show her you care by giving her some luxurious toiletries from Molton Brown. Try scents like the invigorating black pepper shower gel or the reviving rosemary bath for a fresh bathing experience. Or surround her with heady scents of oudh, smoky black tea, and honeyed resin with the Oudh and Gold Accord collection for a lavish experience she’ll appreciate. If you’d like to treat her to a new statement scent but you’re not sure where to start, try one of the new fragrance discovery sets. Sample travel sized versions of the full range, or test the Fresh & Woody or Floral & Spicy collections to help her choose her favourite.
Whether she’s got a signature fragrance, or she’s on the hunt for something fresh and new, make sure you look at The Fragrance Shop’s unmissable deals. They’re offering 50% off selected fragrances. Meanwhile, The Perfume Shop are offering members early access to 20% off when you spend £60 in store from 12th to 14th February.
For a truly thoughtful gift your partner will appreciate, create a Valentine’s basket full of things they love. Gather their favourite snacks like Krispy Kreme‘s three new heart-shaped doughnuts – Daisy for You, You are my Sunshine, and Best Buds – or pick up some skincare goodies such as a Boots face mask or moisturiser or a Rituals shower oil, and put it all on display in a simple basket or box.
This can be a fun low-cost way to show your partner you care and make them feel special this Valentine’s Day. Why not throw in a Squishmallow from The Entertainer or head to The Works to browse the board games you could play together? If they love to read, head to Waterstones to pick up the book they’ve got their eye on or, if they prefer the cinema, let them know you’ll take them to Cineworld to see the latest releases. Make it a date day by choosing a Cineworld gift for two, including a 2D film voucher for two and a cinema snack e-voucher of a large drink and a large popcorn, nachos, or hotdog for just £29.99.
If she likes a bit of sparkle, Pandora’s Disney or Valentine’s collections are sure to catch her eye. Featuring glittering rings, bracelets and earrings in gold and silver with pops of colour, there’s a wide selection for that special someone. And if she’s all about being comfortable, Boux Avenue has a range of pyjamas, loungewear and fluffy socks that can be worn on a cosy Valentine’s night in.
Valentine’s Day gifts for him
If your partner already has it all, get him something a little different this Valentine’s Day and print your favourite memory together on a canvas. Big Picture create high-quality prints on canvases from 10”x8” up to 24″x12” so you can display your sentimental gift anywhere.
Or treat him to a new aftershave from The Perfume Shop. Choose from Dior Sauvage, Calvin Klein CK Be, and Paco Rabanne 1 Million – whatever his scent of choice, you’ll get a great deal at Silverburn.
Jewellery isn’t just for women! For athletes and sports fanatics, take a look at the Garmin or G-Shock watch deals. Or pick up a pair of new cufflinks for those special occasions, or a classic watch that he can wear every day.
Galentine’s ideas
If you’d like to celebrate Galentine’s with a few cocktails with your friends, you’re in luck. Book a Bottoms Up Brunch at TGI Fridays and enjoy a sharing platter for two and four drinks of your choice per person, or snap up a classic Bread Meats Bread cocktail like an espresso martini, margarita, or raspberry vanilla cooler.
If you want to buy your friends a sweet treat to show your love, head to Cinnabon for warm, doughy, sticky cinnamon buns that are sure to put a smile on their face. If you’re settling in for a night of takeaways and rom-coms, make sure you and the girls are set with matching PJs from M&S, Boux Avenue, or Next.
Date ideas in Glasgow
If a new activity is on the cards, why not try a Thai cooking class at Thaikun? Enjoy a welcome drink before you learn how to cook a delicious two-course meal and then enjoy the results afterwards. Choose from spring rolls and red curry, steamed dumplings and massaman curry, or tom yum Thai soup and Pad Thai.
Stàilinn Scottish Kitchen is the perfect place for a romantic meal together, and with their unmissable Valentine’s taster menu you can enjoy a meal for two with courses including a chilli cheese wagyu slider burger and white chocolate and passion fruit cheesecake. Available on the 14th and 15th of February between 4pm-8pm, treat your other half to an 8-course taster menu for £49.95 per person. Gluten-free and vegetarian menus are available upon request.
When it comes to dates, you can’t go wrong with a date at Cineworld. With Scotland’s first IMAX with laser screen, your blockbuster experience will be one to remember. If you’re after a romantic dinner date, head to Wagamama or Zizzi, or treat your significant other to a visit to Patisserie Valerie, where you’ll find the very finest sweet treats.
Treat yourself
Valentine’s Day is all about love, so no matter your relationship status, don’t forget to take some time to love yourself. Take a look at the body and skincare available at Rituals, perfect for setting up your own pamper night. Body scrubs and lotions, hair mists, bath foams, crystals and face masks mean you can personalise your own at-home spa experience and feel refreshed this weekend.
Treat yourself to some new underwear at Boux Avenue. Lace and embroidery are on display this Valentine’s Day with the launch of the Amore Forever range. Red is the colour of the season, with comfy and cute lingerie or nightwear options in store.
Whether you’re happily loved-up, venturing on a first date, or excited to be single, Silverburn has everything you need to make this Valentine’s Day a great one.
