Make this year’s Valentine’s Day gift the best yet

Fact: Valentine’s Day is one of the most high-pressure gifting scenarios there is. Whether you’ve been coupled up for a week or are approaching your tenth wedding anniversary, it’s not always easy to choose the perfect present. Enter: our edit of the very best Valentine’s Day gifts, all available at Westfield. We’ve pulled together a list of gifts for significant others of all stripes – from traditionalists and self-care enthusiasts to gadget geeks and everyone in between. Whatever you choose, give it with love and affection and you can’t really go wrong.

For the traditionalist

If your significant other is all about red roses, ribbon-wrapped chocolate boxes and The Notebook, congratulations – Valentine’s Day traditionalists are easy to please! Choose a classic gift – think a gorgeous bouquet of their favourite blooms, a scented candle, nice lingerie or underwear or their go-to fragrance.

Try Plenty Valley Florist, Bras N Things or Dusk.

For the fashion devotee

One of the most challenging categories to gift successfully, fashion can be hit and miss. If you’re confident you know what your SO (or significant other) likes, enlist the help of a sales assistant and go for gold. If not, stick with bags, shoes and accessories – they’re easier to get right than clothes. Classic colours, shapes and fabrics are your best bet.

Try Decjuba, Forcast or Sportsgirl.

For the jewellery-obsessed

When carefully chosen, jewellery can be a meaningful gift. With so many styles available, it’s an opportunity to show your lover how well you really know them. Look for pieces they can wear every day rather than just on special occasions – think: a simple gold pendant, diamond earrings, a chunky signet ring or a sleek watch.

Try Pandora, Prouds The Jewellers, Bevilles, Angus & Coote or Michael Hill.

For the self-care enthusiast

The number one rule of shopping for self-care is this: choose something that’ll offer your beloved a moment of respite during a busy day. Whether that’s something straightforward like a skincare or aromatheraphy set, or a little more luxe (see: an LED face mask, electronic cleansing brush and other nifty beauty tools), it just needs to be a joy to use.

Try Priceline, My Chemist or The Body Shop.

For the gadget geek

The best thing about being in love with a tech obsessive is there’s always something new and buzzy in gadget land to surprise them with. Gizmos that aim to improve everyday life are everywhere. Opt for what you think they’ll enjoy most—ideas: a temperature-controlled coffee mug, a camera drone, a smartwatch, headphones or a power bank to charge their electronics on the go.

Try JB Hi-Fi, Target or Kmart.

For the homebody

Treat your sweetheart to something extra-special for their space. Home fragrance is a no-brainer – go for a candle or mix things up with an innovative stick-less diffuser. For a fresh take on flowers, try a houseplant. If in doubt, go for beautiful loungewear or pyjamas, cashmere socks, premium tea or coffee accompanied by handcrafted ceramic mug or a gorgeous coffee table book.

Try QBD Books, Robinson's Bookshop or Cotton On.

For the sporty spouse

New trainers are always a winner, but if you’re looking for something a little unexpected it pays to think outside the (shoe) box. Opt for an inspiring biography of their favourite sportsperson, wireless earbuds, a smart water bottle or a waterproof shower speaker. For the true workout warrior, try a vibrating foam roller or massage gun.

Try Rebel or JB Hi-Fi

For the SO who has everything

The trickiest to please are often researchers who are intentional about the things they invite into their lives. Make things easy for all involved and present them with a Westfield gift card or an experience. Often they’ll be thrilled to receive the gift of quality time – splash out on a dining, cinema or beauty services voucher or simply breakfast in bed.

Try Results Laser Clinic, MySkin Clinics, Australian Skin Clinics, Village Cinemas or The Beauty & Brow Parlour.
