I ran a poll in my Insta Stories recently to find out how many of you would be celebrating Valentines Day this year. Interestingly the results came out as exactly 50:50! I also asked whether you're celebrating or not this year would you still be interested in seeing some Valentines themed content on my blog & 82% of you said yes, which I was pleased to see. Personally I've always enjoyed the cheesiness of all the hearts and flowers everywhere around V-Day! Make sure you check out my post from earlier this week for lots of Romantic perfume inspiration in my Fragrance Favourites for Valentines Day.
Now I will say right now I am single so I won't actually be celebrating Valentines, however that doesn't mean the day is a complete write off for me! Galentines Day, which is on the 13th of Feb, has really risen in popularity in recent years. It's a day dedicated to celebrating our female friendships & give each other a lift which is so important & empowering and something which we really don't do often enough. I for one think it's a fabulous idea! So I decided to focus today's blog post on products & pieces to gift & share with your favourite women in your life. Whilst I think you should definitely show people you love them all year round it's a great opportunity to spend time with & treat your closest girlfriends - help us all get through these dreary months! Perhaps get together for dinner or cocktails or host a night in with your favourite movies, popcorn and gossip - this would be my preference I think not least because it's reminiscent of a teen sleepover! This Clive Christian Fragrance Gift Sets for Her would make such a special & indulgence gift for someone you love, a treat for yourself or you could even separate the trio of perfumes to give as 3 gifts. If this is too extravagant however then I have some affordable options below.
Lola Rose Necklace | Lola Rose is a brand of jewellery that I have loved for a while now. They have a gorgeous range of designs including their Zodiac Collection which I thought would be lovely to give out to your best friends especially if you're all getting together! Leo is my star sign and this necklace comes in rose gold with the symbol on one side & a black onyx crystal on the other. Shop here for all Lola Rose Necklaces.
Ted Baker Rose Gold Pen | Every girlie girl loves a bit of Ted Baker! It just feels like the height of luxury. I love my Rose Gold Bowtiful Pen which actually came from Temptation Gifts online. I have found that on the Ted Baker website they have created the cutest gift boxes for her especially for Valentines Day though. Filled with so many girlie treats such as t-shirts, cupid & arrow bracelet, rose gold purse, phone cases and notebooks.
Disney Teapot Bag | I've always wanted a Danielle Nicole Handbag. She designs a lot of her bags in collaboration with Disney, which is just the best thing ever! Even more exciting she's recently created some Harry Potter designs too. I fell in love with the Mrs Potts Crossbody Bag as not only is Beauty & the Beast my absolute fave but I thought it would be perfect for taking out to Afternoon Teas! You can find these bags on QVCUK and her own website.
Becca X Chrissy Glow Palette | This has been a much lusted after palette amongst the beauty community and one I personally love so I just had include it. So share the love and get one for your best friend! The Becca X Chrissy Teigen Glow Palette is limited edition and housed in the most perfect rose quartz effect pink packaging. It includes a Luminous Blush in ‘Hibiscus Bloom’ (a golden coral-pink), alongside Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in ‘Rose Gold’, Sunlit Bronzer in ‘Malibu Soleil’ (a medium amber) and a new, exclusive shade of Shimmering Skin Perfector ‘Beach Nectar’ a warm, juicy apricot shade laced with gold.
Plus Becca Cosmetics is brand of the month on Cult Beauty this February meaning you'll get FREE shipping on any of the products!
Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick | I don't know a girl who wouldn't squeal at receiving a Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick! They are highly coveted not just for quality formulas but for the high end rose gold packaging. You can't really go wrong when it comes to picking one of her lipsticks but my choices would be either Pillow Talk or Bitch Perfect (yes agreed, the name is fabulous!) there is also a brand new release Royal Lipstick Trio set which is not only stunning but it's limited edition.
Yankee Candle Rainbow Cookie | "Cookies so light and airy they’re ready to melt in your mouth—filled with citrus and peach and sweet vanilla frosting." Rainbow Cookie is a new release for Yankee Candle this Spring and I know it's already become super popular. I think initially for it's pretty pastel packaging but it does smell delicious too! It reminds me of their strawberry buttercream candle if you're familiar with their scents.
Lush Products | Lush always excel with their seasonal collections and their Valentines range is always one of my favourites because of the Unicorn Horn! Every year I wait to stock up on this one as it's just so pretty. Who knew something so simple could create such excitement but it does! This Whole Lotta Love Bubbleroon is my favourite newbie to the collection for 2018, it creates super nourishing bubbles and smells incredible.

Nails Inc Mermaid Polish Duo | This is not a drill!! Nails inc are releasing this stunning duo of mermaid nail polishes this month - 4th of February online at nailsinc.com and the 8th in stores. You may remember their best selling Unicorn duo from last year. This new duo features two pearlescent polishes, called Mermaid Parade & Ocean Ever After, in aqua & teal shades reminiscent of a beautiful mermaids tail. Well 2017 may of been the year of the Unicorn but 2018 looks set to be the year of the mermaid and I'm living for it!
Hotel Chocolat Pink Hearts | How cute are these?! These Chocolate Strawberry Hearts are a lovely option to gift as a little treat, to share with your friends or just scoff yourself - which is probably what I'm going to be doing to be honest! Click here to see Hotel Chocolat's full Valentines range.
