GIFTS FOR A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

By Nana Baah

Everyone loves Valentine’s Day flowers and chocolates, but your Valentine isn’t just anyone. Maybe they have a burning love for cooking, thanks to a fictional Chicago chef, or an encyclopaedic knowledge of Jacob Elordi’s street style. Whatever they’re into – besides you – we’ve rounded up the gifts that will tick all their boxes.

Everyone loves Valentine’s Day flowers and chocolates, but your Valentine isn’t just anyone. Maybe they have a burning love for cooking, thanks to a fictional Chicago chef, or an encyclopaedic knowledge of Jacob Elordi’s street style. Whatever they’re into – besides you – we’ve rounded up the gifts that will tick all their boxes.

FOR THE BOLD TYPE

Home is where your Valentine’s heart is. They’ve hosted more dinner parties than Martha Stewart, but it’s less about the food and almost entirely about setting the scene. They pour their cocktails into off-the-wall glasses, serve dips in kitsch bowls and make a very strong case for staying in.

FOR THE HOT CHEF

They’ve made Carmy Berzatto their entire personality. But even The Bear himself is only as good as his tools. Skip the chocolates in favour of fancy tinned fish for apéro hour, chilli-infused oils for drizzling over their creations – or a glistening set of Japanese knives for slicing and dicing. Whether they’re a novice or a pro, these gifts will get them fired up.

FOR THE SELF-LOVER

They know that to love others, first you need to love yourself, so make your gift all about their favourite form of self-care. If they hit the gym hard, treat them to some at-home physio in the form of a massage gun. If they never skip their 12-step-skincare-routine, wow them with an LED mask. And if they – or you – need a post-break up boost, crystals and sage will ward off the bad vibes (read: exes).

FOR THE HEART-THROB

We all think our partner is as irresistible as Jacob Elordi, but you don’t have to start drinking their bath water to show it. Instead of taking your inspiration from Saltburn, look to actor Elordi’s great taste in the season’s hottest bags. He’s been seen with Bottega Veneta, Burberry and Louis Vuitton – all make for gifts worthy of a heart-throb.
