VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND

Whether you celebrate Valentine’s, Galentine’s or just feel your best friend deserves some love at this dreary time of year this guide is full of amazing treats. I personally love LOVE and see it as something that should be celebrated. A thoughtful text to a friend you haven’t seen in or while can be enough. If you want to surprise them with something more, read on for inspiration. Afternoon Tea is a favourite of mine and it means spending time together. Yet, I also love a good beauty product. Finding gifts that you can enjoy with eachother as well as something the receiver can use throughout the year is the aim.

THERMOS WATER BOTTLE DESIGNED BY MATTHEW WILLIAMSON

I have been a fan of Matthew Williamson for years. His botanical designs are superb. I’m so excited that he has teamed up with Thermos for this new collection. A water bottle is always a great gift. Having one as beautiful as this one will definitely help me remember to drink more water. I’ll be happy to take it out and about for work and adventures. It’s just such a stylish design inspired by the lush and dense green foliage surrounding the Cala Deià near Matthew’s Spanish home. This design explores the jungle by day. There’s also a night version which is equally as beautiful. The Super Light Direct Drink Flask is portable with a 470ml capacity. Created with the Thermos® quality and performance you can rely on and with a 5-year guarantee.

LIP GLOSS FROM EMOLYNE

I’ve recently been introduced to Emolyne. Such a beautiful brand that focuses on beautybeing for everyone. They create makeup that celebrates every ethnicity, gender, age, and lifestyle. This is a nourishing, high-shine lip gloss with a silky finish. Highly pigmented to create a full coverage glossy effect in one single sweep. I chose Lira, a cool nude tone that I find works well with my light complexion and something I would use every day. They have a vast range of nudes, so perfect for every skin tone. I also love that they are vegan friendly, cruelty-free and formulated without parabens.

HANDCARE SET FROM ARRAN

At this time of year you’ll find that your hands need extra love. What better gift than a hand care set from Arran.Their luxury hand creams have been formulated with shea butter, vitamin E, jojoba seed oil and actives of aloe vera leaf juice, which are known to soothe. Each of our ARRAN collections are available in their signature hand wash & hand cream gift sets. I adore the Kildonan scent. It is a sweet and delicate blend of violet warmed with the glow of velvety orris. Plus the beautiful pumps are stylish and will suit both bed and bathroom decors.

WANDERLASH MASCARA FROM BELLA

I adore a good mascara. It’s the one piece of beauty kit I want to always have with me. My lashes are fairly short and light given my Scandinavian roots. This product not only cares for my lashes but gives them a lift. Lifted, fuller, thicker and more intense lashes in seconds with Wanderlash. A highly luxurious & intensifying deep colour mascara with buildable volume & length to deliver your ultimate lashes. This makes such a beautiful gift and it comes in a gorgeous gift box. Order your Wanderlash Mascara here.

HDXSKIN EXFOLIATING ENZYME MASK

Coming out of winter my skin certainly needs a bit of tender loving care. The new HedoxSKIN Exfoliating Enzyme Mask exfoliates and resurfaces the skin. Such a perfectly practical gift that will bring the receiver a lot of joy. Not to mention brighter skin. With a unique, natural enzyme formula that dissolves the protein bond between dead and new skin cells, it delivers outstanding and immediate results. Suitable for all skin types (even sensitive), all ages (especially menopausal/hormonal skin) and for men, women and teenagers, the HedoxSKIN Exfoliating Enzyme Mask is 90% natural, uses no harsh acids, abrasives or micro beads, which can irritate the skin, but will leave your face brighter, reduce the appearance of the pores, increase cell turnover and leave skin feeling clean, bright and refreshed. Now that’s a gift of love.

MONPURE HAIR OIL

My hair always suffers in winter so I would be so grateful for a gift that offers it some love. Highend haircare brand Monpure has all the products needed for luscious locks. Their Ultralight Healthy Hair Oil nourishes hair and enhances shine without weighing the hair down. It delivers hydration to the strands, cultivates hair health and protects from heat damage. A few drops deliver so much goodness. Packed with vegan keratin, Q10, castor oil, argan oil and vitamin E this truly transforms tired, dry hair.
