Far from your average pink-hued Valentine’s Day offering, this Brides de Gala Love Scarf is decorated with orange and blue hearts – and with its covetable packaging, is sure to win the heart of whoever opens it.

Classic update
If your loved one has a taste for timeless luxury, and an eye for Bottega Veneta, treat her to a piece produced exclusively for Valentine’s Day. Find the brand’s signature intrecciato woven leather in shades of China red or Barolo, embossed with hearts on a range of wallets, pouches and key chains.

Perfume, please?
Channel your inner Parisian romantic with an all-new aroma: the Mademoiselle Azzaro l’Eau Tres Belle. The cute 30ml perfume bottle releases a spritz of fragrance reminiscent of jasmine flowers and sweet berries. Plus, its adorable packaging makes the new scent an ideal vanity table-topper.
