Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Women

amomentwithfranca · 9 February 2018 · 6 Comments

I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is upon us already! It is nice to look out for Valentines because it’s a lovely excuse to be spoilt a little by our loved ones. It isn’t just the day of love but the day of friendship so I would like to share a list of gift ideas below that could be given to your partner or to your best friend or even to buy it for yourself!

I will start with a classic gift which is chocolates. I will then suggest some nice gifts for the hair, some cool products for your face and finally some really lovely products for your homes like candles, vases and cushions.  Also if you want to send lovely flowers I would suggest Bloom & Wild. They have the most amazing arrangements!

CHOCOLATES

Of course, who wouldn’t like to receive chocolate on Valentine’s Day? It is a classic. I have a few different options that I thought you might like.

1. Guylian 

OMG, who wouldn’t like to receive a Guylian’s box of Belgium chocolates! I love them! They are so yummy! Let me tell you that this large box of Belgian assorted chocolates went down well (in one day!). My daughters loved them, especially the sea shells which are super cute and of course super tasty.

They are the perfect gift for any occasion. Guylian’s luxurious assortment boxes offer a handpicked selection of their most iconic products, collected in a premium gifting box. This box comes with delicious Sea Shells with roasted hazelnut praliné filling, La Trufflina smooth Belgian truffles and the opera-inspired Opus assortment pralines collected in one luxurious gift box.

2. Booja-Booja

I hadn’t heard of this brand before but I was delighted to try this lovely box of artisan chocolates. This is their special edition gift collection box. It comes in a bright purple coloured box. I thought it was very well presented. Whoever you give this box to, I am sure will be very grateful.

Booja-Booja offers a wide range of artisan chocolates for the cherished yet varied relationships in our lives. Luckily, the majority of the Booja-Booja range is gender-neutral and suitable for most diets. The exquisite chocolate truffles from Booja-Booja are all made from the finest minimal number of organic ingredients and without preservatives or additives. (Plus, they’re also vegan, dairy, gluten and soya free too, making them about as healthy as chocolate truffles can be.)

These chocolates are definitely different. This box has 4 different flavours: Rhubard & Vanilla Fool, Stem Ginger, Almond & Salted Caramel and Hazelnut which was my fav0urite. Check the Booja Booja website because they have a lovely variety of products to choose from.

3. Jenny Wren

I haven’t heard of Jenny Wren chocolates before but I am glad I was introduced to them because I think they come in the cutest chocolate box that you could ever imagine! If you are after something different and SUPER cute this is the perfect option!

This unique box opens up to reveal 3 folding layers which are part of the box itself. How cool is that? The box features twelve delicious hand-finished Belgian chocolates and truffles. There are four each of milk, dark and white chocolate – including Fleur de Sel caramel, raspberry yoghurt and white mocha.

You can buy this cute box in Sainsbury’s for £6.49. The box is also very useful because after eating all the delicious chocolates, kids can use them for putting small keepsakes, toys or even jewellery in. How fantastic is that? I really love this idea! You can check the Jenny Wren Chocolates website to learn more about them.

HAIR PRODUCTS

I have 2 great hair products that you will love. Sometimes it can be a gift towards that special day so you can look gorgeous on Valentine’s Day, 😉

1. Rock & Ruddle 

I was super excited when I heard about Rock & Ruddle. I didn’t know you could get such lovely hair brushes and the best part of all is that you can personalise them so it becomes an even more special gift. They have a range of lovely designs, natural boar bristle hair brushes with some stunning Valentine-inspired designs. They sent me the cutest design with lots of hearts perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Brushes come in two sizes, large (£30) and handbag-sized (£20). A selection of brushes can also be personalised with the name of your loved one too for an extra special touch. You can choose from glorious clusters of red hearts, candy pink or sunny orange. For some fun designs you can try Mrs Zebra, Miss Daisy (with her little dog Molly) or if you’re a real animal-lover try Cats & Dogs!

Rock & Ruddle’s quality boar bristles are strong and resilient, have a natural stiffness that means that they brush the hair thoroughly and yet don’t pull as they are drawn through it. They have microscopic scales that release and drag the sebum (natural oil) that is produced in the scalp distributing it along the hair making it shiny and healthy looking. Check the Rock and Ruddle website to find out more.

2. Phil Smith

You can buy this for yourself to look gorgeous on Valentine’s Day or it could be a nice present for a friend. We all appreciate having good products to keep our hair looking beautiful. I love finding new products to try. I hadn’t tried any Phil Smith products before so I was very excited to give them a go.

They have a selection of Hair Products that you will love. I tried Phil Smith Be Gorgeous Total Treat Ultimate Repair Shampoo with Moroccan Argan Oil, a Phil Smith Be Gorgeous Total Treat Ultimate Repair Conditioner with Moroccan Argan Oil and finally a Phil Smith Be Gorgeous Total Treat Ultimate Treatment with Moroccan Argan Oil.

The products come in an eye-catching fun pink and blue colour. They help lock in moisture to heal dry, damaged hair and restore smoothness. These products are exclusive to Sainsbury’s stores nationwide. Visit Phil Smith Hair to check their products.

FACE

Another perfect product to get for yourself so you can look gorgeous on Valentine’s Day. You need to take care of your skin in order to keep you free of wrinkles and dry skin.

1. RosehipPLUS Skin Boost Roll On

I am so much in need of a product like this. This is an all organic and all natural brand. A global first, with its hygienic massaging roller ball, this revolutionary design allows you to target areas that require a precision application. It is rich in naturally occurring vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids as well as 100% pure and natural Certified Organic Rosehip oil, cold pressed from the seeds of the Rosehip (Rosa Canina).

It will help you with all of the following:

  • Helps you to aid skin with precision and ease – perfect for popping in your bag on the go.
  • Reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars
  • Maintain skin hydration and softness
  • Improve appearance of dry and sensitive skin
  • Minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Promote skin elasticity and texture

Tip: put it in your fridge so when you wake up you take it out and roll it under your eyes. This will help with that puffy eyes and tired look that we sometimes have! It is an Australian company but you can get it from Amazon.

HOME

I have some really lovely products for your home like candles, vases, cushions which will add the perfect touch to Valentine’s Day! 😉

1. Soy and Joy

I absolutely love candles. What better than being able to personalise your own candle? This is perfect for Valentine’s Day and of course for any special occasion.  I hadn’t heard of Soy and Joy before but now I am a fan. The packing was lovely and with so much detail. I loved that they also sent me a quote which I can put on my desk to keep me positive.

Their candles are hand poured and made from soy wax (no colour dyes or nasty paraffin wax), and each one has a charm hidden in the wax. The candles have a mixture of sassy slogans or positive affirmations. Examples of sassy slogans include “EAT.PRAY.SLAY”, “GOAL DIGGER” and “DREAM SLAYER”. There are also quotes in rose gold, copper and pink. You can also customise quotes!

My candle has ‘LOVE’ on it which I really like a lot! It smells lovely and it looks super cool. It came with a small box with heart shape soaps which was super cute! You can find more at the Soy & Joy website.

2. Dunelm Candle, Vase & cushion

I love Dunelm. They always have something nice for your home. I have always been very pleased when buying from them. These accessories are perfect for Valentine’s Day.

You will be showing so much love with this Jar with the embedded word Love in red. It is lovely and with some red roses, for example, it will look amazing. I will have it ready for Valentine’s Day so I can fill it with my “hopefully” red roses that Nick might be sending. I couldn’t give a better hint here right, LOL?

The candle is really nice. It has a very strong scent and features a 40-hour burn time. This sophisticated candle from Dorma is scented with a lavender and chamomile fragrance and comes complete with a glass holder. 

And the cushion is just perfect for my home decor as well as perfect for Valentine’s Day! It looks so pretty in my living room! It matches perfectly with my cushions.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
