Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Hi Ladies! 
Todays post is a bit of a mix of products!I thought it might be handy for anyone who is planning to buy a special lady a gift over this holiday (or what to hint to your partner!)!I personally love recieving gifts which are practical and something i wish i could afford to buy myself or would choose if i was buying for myself! Don't get me wrong i am a complete romantic,buy as i am living on a student budget,my lovely boyfriend (bless him!) discussed the idea of buying more of a practical and less typical valentine's present. I've compiled a list of products and where possible where they are available from,which have either a valentine's or a girly theme or simply products which generaly are liked by girls if you are planning to buy for a lady and are unsure what they may like.

 First up is this beautiful nail varnish from acclaimed brand Nails Inc. This particular shade,Marylebone,has just been released and is a gorgeous baby pink colour packed with micro glitter!At £11,it is rather pricey for a nail varnish but if you are looking for a small gift,this would be a perfect gesture!

 Next up for anybody living in the U.S., this set from Victoria's Secret is one of many valentine's themed gift sets which are available on their site!This particular set contains 3 products and is such a good price at $15!i wish their products were more readily available in the UK,as the few products i have used from them have been brilliant!I would LOVE to recieve this as a gift!

Soap and Glory Soaper Heroes set-RRP £13
Available in the UK here

 If you are looking for a gift for a lady and you are unsure of what they may like,then this set from an all round favourite brand Soap and Glory is perfect. This is not a set neccessarily themed for for Valentine's day,but the packaging for this brand is so pretty and their products are of a great quality! I am sure most girls would appreciate this as a gift! As far as i know soap and glory are available in the US,but i am not entirely sure of their availability in the rest of the world.

Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Valentines set- £76
Available in the UK  here

OMG!this set excites me so much!It consists of a 50ml bottle of the world famous and much loved perfume 'flowerbomb' by design duo Viktor and Rolf and also a 40ml bottle of the body cream containing the same scent.It is held in a beautiful heart shaped box with similar packaging style to what the perfume is usually boxed in. Although it is pricey at £76 it is absolutely stunning and will definitely win over any girl you are trying to impress :)! 

Nicki and Ricky Mac Viva Glam Promo Pic
Release Date - February 2012

Technically,this product has not been released yet,but both MAC and Nicki Minaj on her twitter have stated that this will be released in February and in time for Valentine's day! This gorgeous pink lipstick had been created as a part of MAC's Viva Glam collection,and if the lady you are trying to buy a gift for is a MAC or simply a makeup enthusiast she will surely love this! In addition to this,as it is part of the viva glam collection,all the money raised (minus tax) goes to the MAC aids charity!Buying this would mean you are being romantic and doing good at the same time! 

Lush Lots of Love Set-£24.50/$49.95
Available in the UK here

 A personal favourite brand of mine Lush cosmetics has just released a number of products both in gift sets and sold individually as part of their valentine's day collection. As they have a wide variety of products available, it means no matter what your budget is, you are sure to find something for that special someone!This particular set caught my eye as it has been packaged beautifully and has a wide variety of different products within it!


I know i haven't included many items,but hopefully this has given you a general idea of products out there at the moment if you are looking for an alternative type of gift (or simply just looking for products to buy for yourself which is the case for me haha!) If i see any other valentines sets or products of interest i will keep you updated! 
Have you asked for anything in particular for valentines?
Is there anything you would love to receive as a gift?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
