Go for a Romantic Surprise

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it is time to delight that special someone with unique, thoughtful and romantic gifts. Read on for some great gift ideas that are bound to surprise your Valentine.

Gift Ideas for Him

Perfume: Keep your man smelling sexy with musky and alluring perfumes like Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb for Men, Thierry Mugler Amen, Burberry Brit, Hugo Boss Boss, Davidoff Cool Water and Calvin Klein One.

Accessories: A soft, genuine leather wallet in brown or tan or a wallet with an antique look would be a wonderful Valentine gift for him.

             

You can also consider fashion accessories like cufflinks and tie pin sets, retro designer leather belts and suede oxfords and loafers in trendy colours like navy and oatmeal. Our top pick would be a beautiful silk tie by Yves St Laurent, Armani, Givenchy or Cravateur.

Gadgets: If your guy is a gadget freak, you cannot go wrong with cool Valentine gifts like iHome iW2 Airplay speakers, wireless headphones, touchscreen LED watches, GPS navigators, universal remote controls, iPhone speaker docks, hamburger speakers and Bluetooth adapters.

Gift Ideas for Her

Jewellery: A simple delicate gold-plated bracelet, diamond earring studs, semi-precious stone pendant on a silver chain, charm bracelet or a statement brooch are all great ideas. Crystal bezel watches and bracelet watches with charms also make for excellent Valentine gift ideas. If you plan to pop the question on Valentine¿s Day, of course, you need to think about a stunning engagement ring. We recommend the ever popular princess cut diamond ring or the classically elegant solitaire. Marquise cut and baguette cut engagement rings are also catching on in popularity.
   
 
Pampering goodie basket: Put together a gift hamper for your special lady comprising of handpicked items. Perfumes by Givenchy, D&G, Chanel, Christian Dior, Guess, Bvlgari and Estee Lauder are eternal favourites among the ladies. Add more pampering essentials like body lotions, shower gels, bubble bath gels, aromatherapy soaps and shampoos, exfoliating body scrubs or body butter, depending on what she likes.

Shoes and accessories: This one can be tricky because you¿ll have to have a good handle on your Valentine fashion sensibilities. Steve Madden patent pumps, Jimmy Choo high heels and designer colour-blocked wedges would be safe bets. You can also consider a suede-leather combination handbag, studded totes or convertible shoulder-tote bags. Other great gift ideas include pure silk scarves and designer sunglasses.
