From books to bags, chocolates to candles – treat the lady in your life with Absolutely’s Valentine’s gift guide ideas
Words Joy Montgomery
Valentine’s Gift Guide: For Her
Let’s face it: the world has a love-hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. You’re either a flower-buying, chocolate-scoffing romantic, or a withering cynic who believes it’s an overhyped, commercialised non-holiday. Whichever way you see it, you can’t deny that it’s seriously big business these days.
So, whether you’re celebrating with a special someone or simply looking for an excuse to treat yourself (who says you need to rely on someone else for a cheeky present?), we reckon the 14th is just a nice excuse to celebrate the good things in our lives. Screw you Blue Monday. So in the spirit of things we’ve rounded up 10 pieces to inspire your V-Day (or me-day) shopping. Happy gifting!
