Revlon One-Step Blow Dry Multi Styler

I always say, you can never have enough of hair gadgets at home….one for every occasion, but if you are running out of space, then Revlon’s One-Step Blog Dry Multi Styler is the perfect gift to get yourself or your other half as it comes with 3 interchangeable attachments.  You can create salon style looks at home from curly looks to bouncy blow-dries or just concentrate on their root drying feature.

Heating element does cause hair damage, but this multi styler from Revlon produces 50% less heat exposure hence it is gentle on your hair as it dries and styles in one-step. The blow dryer uses nylon bristles and comes with  4 temperature settings, 1 speed setting, Turbo setting as well as Ionic conditioning.

With a cord length of 2.5m, it is easy to move around with the dryer and its unique comb design means that it is designed to dry at the roots hence reducing the drying time.

Priced at £75, the One-Step Blow Dry makes a lovely Valentine’s Day gift and you can purchase it in time for the big day here.

Xander Kostroma®‘s Gold Tone 7 Chakra Raw Stone Crystal Necklace

We love Xander Kostroma® for its uniqueness and have reviewed their Crystal Jewellery on our blog last year. This time around, we are featuring their Gold Tone 7 Chakra Raw Stone Crystal Necklace which makes such a delicate gift for someone very special to you.    Unboxing a gift from Xander Kostroma® feels almost magical, as their monochrome skull design on their packaging is super eye-catching and you can tell that they take such effort in presenting the gift so beautifully. 

This necklace is handmade by their talented in-house makers using 14k gold plated metal and features raw quartz chip crystals in 7 unique stones, each representing its own chakra. Starting at the crown, you will find Amethyst which relieves stress and strain on the body.  The third eye is represented by Lapis Lazuli (or Lazurite) and is thought to enhance wisdom, inner vision, and mental clarity. Next is the Throat chakra where Aquamarine is used and is said to be a stone of courage. The Heart chakra is shown by this gorgeous Aventurine stone which is believed to be a stone of prosperity. The Solar Plexus is next and is represented by Citrine which can help to increase creativity. (Orange) Agate is used for the Sacral which is said to enhance mental function and finally, the Root chakra is represented by the deep of Garnet which inspires love and devotion.

Priced at £42, the Gold Stone 7 Chakra Raw Stone Crystal Necklace which measures 42cm + extension makes such a beautiful and meaningful Valentine or Galentines’ Day Gift for your loved one. Do note that all jewellery produced by Xander Kostroma® is also nickel-free.

Personalised ASDA Photo Gift Ideas

I love receiving personalised gifts, as it only means that the person giving it has put a bit more thought and care into it compared to a gift which is readily bought. ASDA Photo offers various personalised gifts from cushions,  phone cases, jigsaws, bags and even calendars.  In our Valentine’s Day guide, we are focusing on their personalised card, printed photos and photo book.

In our current fast-paced digital world, there are hundreds of photos taken each month and these then go into the Cloud Storage or hard drive back-up (if they are not uploaded onto social media) and then never seen again.  As a photographer, I have always been a believer in getting photos printed and you will find photos around my house and especially on my fridge door to remind us of our holidays, loved ones as well as our children’s milestones.

For Valentine’s Day this year, I have created a ‘Then and Now’ Hardcover Photo Book featuring images of when my husband and I met almost 18 years ago and now with our children. I opted for a glossy finish and full photo album but you can choose to have boarders or themed design and prices for this start from £12.  I have also opted to get these photos printed out, ASDA Photo offer a selection of prints from small square prints ie 4″x4″ to the standard 6″x4″, 7″x5″, 8″x6″, 10″x8″ and the larger print of 16″x12″ with a matt or glossy finish. These prints are priced from 5p a photo.  Finally, I also ordered a personalised Valentine’s Day card, priced at £1.90, which is more meaningful then standard store bought card.

Empower Leggings by LOVALL

Have you ever heard the term “The couple that exercises together stays together”? Well, that is so true, as working out together in the gym, or taking the weekly walk or running can increase the bond that you share with each other. It also emphasises the fact that you both care for how you look and your health as well, hence promoting a feel good atmosphere in the relationship.

LOVALL which was previously known as Love Leggings is a brand which we are familiar with as we have featured their yoga pants and more recently their loungewear on our blog. This time, we are featuring their newest legging, Empower Leggings which is designed for high-impact workouts and a great look if you also need to head to the shops after.  The high-waistband leggings is made with compression fabric, 4-way stretch material, and moisture-wicking qualities.

Priced at £40, Empower Leggings comes with two pockets for practicality and is available in UK Size 6 to 28 and in four core colours: Black, Vintage Navy, Deep Forest and Graphite. Depending on your height, you can opt for petite, regular or tall for the right leg length.  We have featured Size 8, Petite in Vintage Navy in this guide.  A luxury gift well worth your investment to gift your loved one.
