First things first, consider your partner's favourite leisure activities. If she's creative, something photography or writing-related will go down a treat. Or perhaps she likes to spend time relaxing, or could do with some encouragement to do so? In this case, go for self-care products like skincare and bath bombs, or cosy loungewear.
If she loves smelling good all the time, explore our perfume gift set ideas to find something that she might like!
For the fashion-conscious woman, we suggest jewellery or a stylish purse that she can use every day. If your relationship is fairly new, though, you might not know all of your Valentine's interests yet. We therefore recommend a more general romantic gift like chocolate that will still show how much you appreciate her.
Letterbox flowers are a thoughtful way to surprise your loved ones, and you don't need a special occasion to send them too!
As mentioned in the last section, your relationship may still be in the honeymoon stage. If this is the case, you'll want to choose a gift that's romantic but perhaps not too serious, and not too expensive either. Anything up to £30 will show that you care without breaking the bank.
However, those in long-term relationships or marriages may want to spend a little extra on a gift for their partner – anywhere from £30 up to £150, depending on your budget. A personalised present or something from a luxury brand that your lady can treasure forever is definitely worth paying a bit more for!
Jewellery is always a nice gift for that long-term special someone - check out these gorgeous bracelets for women to get some ideas!

This box of chocolates by Hotel Chocolat comes in a pretty heart-shaped packaging that is packed with an assortment of 35 filled chocolates of varying delicious, romantic flavours such as the limited-edition Salted Espresso Martini, the classic Pink Champagne Truffle, Raspberyy Smoothie and more.
Whether you're buying for your new sweet-toothed girlfriend or wonderful wife, you can rest assured that she'll be over the moon with this beautiful box and its delicious goodies. Without a doubt, it's our top pick!
Naming a star in the sky after your partner is probably the most romantic thing you can do! To make it official, your partner will receive a certificate confirming the chosen star name. Included in the tin are a bunch of other interesting stuff too, such as intergalactic facts and figures, the history of stars, an astronomy booklet, and constellation poster.
While this is our chosen gift for our number 2 spot, depending on what you think your lover will appreciate, there are other tins available too where you can adopt a spitfire, name a rose, or even own an acre of the moon. We believe that this unique, personalised gift will really show your partner how much they mean to you.
If you've been paying any attention to her makeup routine at all, you'll know that Charlotte Tilbury is one of the best brands for makeup on the market. So, you'll know that she is sure to love this 7-piece set consisting of everything she needs to achieve a bronzed goddess look.
This kit consists of a luxury eye shadow palette, classic eyeliner, mascara, blusher, lip liner, lipstick, and a lip lacquer to finish off the look. Everything comes neatly packed in a cute, slim makeup pouch too, perfect for carrying on the go. Although this is one of our pricier options, we think that the quality products, thoughtfulness, and the smile on your lover's face will be worth it!
This cutesy Instax camera by Fujifilm would be a wonderful gift if your loved one is a budding photographer or a fan of all things retro. Its features include a handy carry strap, built-in flash, and automatic exposure to ensure her snaps come out perfect.
While this product is a little costly, it's excellent quality and will really impress your partner, and there are several pastel-themed colours to choose from to suit her tastes. Plus, we can't think of a better way to make lasting memories than taking lots of pictures together!
Does the lady in your life love making her space look and smell beautiful? We highly recommend treating her to this luxury candle set by Neom Organics. It contains mini-sized versions of their wellbeing-themed candles, all made with natural vegetable wax and pure essential oils.
If you're stuck for ideas for a new partner or even one who seems to have everything, you can't go wrong with something for the home, especially one that's made with the very best ingredients. We're certain that your love will enjoy taking some time out to relax with these candles – whether you're invited or not!
We love the bold leopard-print exterior and simple black interior of this chic purse by Whistles, which makes it stand out from the pack while still keeping things classy. With several card slots and a zipped coin section for change, this is a smart gift that your partner will enjoy using every day.
A purse might not seem like the most romantic way of showing your passion if you're in a new relationship, even one as stylish as this. However, long-term couples will recognise that practical presents can still show how much you care!
This gorgeous necklace by Jon Richard will add a perfect finishing touch to any outfit, so it's an ideal choice if you have a style-conscious partner. Though with a more fashion-inspired update, the locket design is a tried-and-true Valentine classic, so it should appeal to ladies of almost all ages and appearances.
You might need to check whether she is a necklace wearer and silver gold would be her colour of choice, but if she does like jewellery, this is a simple yet elegant design that she's bound to love.
If the lady in your life is a self-confessed stationery addict who prefers to keep her writing old-school, we reckon she'll love this charming notebook from luxury brand Kate Spade. Stylish yet incredibly useful, it's great for jotting things down on the go, using for work, or for encouraging her new journaling hobby.
Practical, thoughtful, and affordable – what more could you want when shopping for a Valentine gift? Best of all, the personalised initial will make her feel super special every time she comes to use it. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have every letter of the alphabet available.
This beautiful box of truffles by Charbonnel et Walker will make a lovely add-on present for your sweetheart or a thoughtful gift for a new love. Dark and white chocolate, Sipsmith gin, cream and natural juniper flavouring combine to create a wonderfully sweet flavour that she'll adore.
Although a box of chocolates is seen as a very classic gift, Charbonnel et Walker is a luxurious brand that's endorsed by the Queen herself. Plus, the packaging is incredibly chic – your partner will feel totally spoiled!
Who doesn't love a pair of new pyjamas? Ladies who like to lounge in style will love this gorgeous kimono-style set from Bluebella. The luxuriously soft satin will make them feel glamorous and Valentine-worthy, yet they'll be comfortable enough for your nightly Netflix sessions.
This combination is inspired by the relaxed elegance of the 1920s, with a cross-over kimono top and contrast satin piping and a luxury tie belt that adds dimension to the body. The trousers include contrast piping at the ankle and a relaxed fit legline that's ideal for lounging. Made with love and care, we think these gorgeous pyjamas are well worth the price.
