Another year has come and gone, and we find ourselves back in the month of love, days away from St Valentine’s annual celebration. Whether you’re on the hunt for a special gift for your significant other, a best friend, a loved family member, or even just yourself, Vogue Arabia has brought together 40 of the most enticing gift options for your day of love.
For the jewelry junkie
First things first: When it comes to gifting, you can seldom go wrong with a beautiful piece of jewelry. Go the literal route with a string of rainbow-colored hearts via Yvonne Leon, or opt for Susana Martins by Al Fardan’s delicate ‘love’ earrings, which promise to serve as a sweet reminder of your affection everyday. Got a maximalist on your hands? Versace’s heart-shaped hoops bring in just the right dose of opulence, while Azza Fahmy’s ‘Love & Rebirth’ earring carries a deep message of commitment.
For the foodie
There’s no better occasion than Valentine’s Day to treat your loved one with the food of romance. Keep things healthy with Co Chocolat’s handmade heart-shaped bonbons (Vogue tip: the mango passionfruit bonbons are an absolute must-try!), or indulge in Bateel’s selection of chocolates, filled with truffles, pralines and ganaches. Alternatively, you could also consider taking your significant other out on a special V-Day date. Click here to discover Vogue Arabia’s favorite spots for the occasion this year.
For the fashion enthusiast
When in doubt, remember that nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like an investment-worthy fashion piece. Cue Valentino’s all-eyes-on-me pink blouse, Borgo De Nor’s cheery floral dresses, and Raey’s heart-print scarf in scarlet. Help your favorite girl put her best foot forward with Amina Muaddi‘s crystal-studded heels, or a classic winding pair of stilettos by Rene Caovilla, or make her day with a sweet heart-themed creation. Mach & Mach’s heart-detailed sandals, Gucci’s hair clips, and Saint Laurent’s not-so-basic black belt win our vote.
For the beauty lover
A great perfume is always a winner when it comes to gifting, and Molton Brown’s Fiery Pink Pepper perfume relies on notes of patchouli and cedarwood to create an olfactory experience like no other. Delina
For the timepiece connoisseur
Jewelry will always win you brownie points, but a stunning timepiece never goes out of style. While Yeprem’s sparkling heart-shaped watch is ideal for trendsetters, Ferragamo’s contemporary gold Gancin Groumette makes the ideal everyday piece, and Missoni’s vibrant wristwatch, complete with scarf-detailed band, is a statement piece that’s bound to draw attention.
For the girl on the go
Airpod case, Miu Miu. AED
Some of the best gifts you can give this Valentine’s Day are those that will also come in handy on the daily. For the girl who’s always rushing in and out of meetings, opt for a cool Airpod case by Miu Miu, or Ted Baker’s sweet heart keychain. Moynat’s teddy bag promises to spruce up any look while also holding essentials. What’s not to love?
