Gold Rose
Imagine receiving this amazing Gold Rose that doesn’t wane, wither and lasts forever, therefore, it surely is an unforgettable keepsake, don’t you think? Cool Gifts share this finest of the finest rose which is hand-picked and these are carefully dipped in 24k gold, preserving its natural beauty in a frozen state for you to enjoy. The rose certainly does turn heads and would make the perfect gift for your loved one this Valentine’s day. I totally loved received the stunning rose which was beautifully presented in a stylish red box (it comes in a black box too). It made me feel very special, the rose was so delicate yet sturdy enough to be placed in a vase or in its box. Measuring around 28 to 30cm in length, the rose came wrapped in soft satin and also comes with a certificate of authenticity. Imagine receiving this special rose which will last forever and does not require any water at all. A golden opportunity for all the romantic souls out there! A perfect gift, priced at €59.95, you can purchase your very own gold rose here.
Olverum Body Oil
This Valentine’s Day why not get your other half a little bit of luxury in a bottle where they can be pampered from the comfort of their own home. The spray oil is best applied after a shower or bath for a calming, therapeutic and moisturising effect. The rich and nourishing oil contains a blend of over 30 essential and cold-pressed botanical oils including the potent antioxidant raspberry seed oil, which is rich in Omegas 3, 6 and 9. Alaria esculenta extract is known to boost the production of Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid to preserve the skin’s elasticity. I decided to try it once I had my shower in the morning. I tried it over several days – I found that the oil was really lightly fragranced which surprised me considering it contains over 30 essential oils. I tried it once when I had towel dried my body and once when I hadn’t. It worked best applied onto towel dried skin. The oil is silky and made my skin soft, but not greasy. It was lovely. I think you would need to apply it for a long period to notice a true change on particularly dry skin, but as a day to day moisturiser, it really is great. The Olverum Body Oil is priced at £40 and comes in a lovely box, you can purchase it here.
Heidi Swapp White Lightbulb
So what do you get the arty and crafty one in your life? Something they could play with and make it their own of course! Here’s introducing you the stylish Heidi Swapp White Lightbulb which will light up any room and your heart with personalisable decoration. The lightbox can be easily powered with the USB cable that is included, meaning you can connect it with any USB outlet or batteries. It will add a special touch to your bedroom if you plan to surprise your loved one with the lightbox. These Heidi Swapp lightboxes are designed to be customisable, so you will be able to apply your personal style. For inspiration and decorations, check out the rest of the Heidi Swap Lightbox range on Hobbycraft’s website. I totally loved it, the only thing I have to say is that I ordered the lightbox thinking the letters and backgrounds will be included but they are not, so looks like I have to reorder these online. The best thing about it is that it is a blank white canvas, and you can add any words to it and images so you can use it for any special occasion or events. The box is about 13 x 10 inches and only contains the letters ‘Lightbox’ and USB cable (batteries not included). Priced at £35, the Heidi Swapp White Lightbulb is only available online and not in Hobbycraft stores.
Aqua Manda Retro Perfume
What a perfume! This Retro Fragrance really takes you back to the scents that you would imagine in the 60’s & 70’s! If you know a certain someone that likes a to look and smell like a throwback Abba or loves listening to the Mamas & Papas, this perfume would be perfect for them. This perfume might not be for everyone as it is fairly strong in scent, but I felt that it did have a softness to it from the aroma of sandalwood. The citrus isn’t as juicy as I’d expected it would be and I had imagined a more tropical holiday scent, whereas I feel that this has a heavier scented aspect to it; more on the level of Poison by Christian Dior (although it doesn’t smell the same as this classic perfume). It has a real velvety fragrance that is really long lasting. The other thing that is really interesting about this perfume is the fact that during the 1960’s it was one of the most popular scents but all of a sudden the company ceased trading. So that fact that it has been re-made in the exact way as back then makes it a truly unique and authentic scent from the era! The original creator of Aqua Manda fragrance, Christopher Collins and the original oil suppliers have acted as advisors on the relaunch of this iconic perfume. Making the fragrance as close as possible to the original. This perfume can be the perfect gift for your other half if she is into all things Retro. Retailing at £39.99 per 100ml, you can purchase the perfume bottle here.

I haven’t ever seen anything like that gold rose before, but if I would be to receive that, it would make my day! <3 Beautiful gift ideas!
It certainly would as its so very special!
These are honestly all really amazing gift ideas! I’ve been trying to find a real rose dipped in gold for ages but I just keep finding the gold ones hahaha.
Well, you have come to the right blog then Jasemine, so hopefully you have found your rose then
Oh wow! I think any of these would make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Bonus points if you get them all!
You are so right! Why get one gift when you can get all four
Your February gift guide- Valentine day theme is such a wonderful blessing. We readers don’t have to look farther . the only problem is all the gift you have written about are so attractive that it’s hard to choose just one.
Hahaha that’s so glad to know Sujata, we try to offer a wide range of gifts with different budget too so everyone has a chance to get something within their means
I love body oils because the scent ends up lasting like forever and your skin is moisturized. It’s like benefit after benefit when applying to skin.
Absolutely, the body oil keeps the skin so moisturised
I absolutely love the light box!!! I’m a fan of whimsical gifts that have a bit of nostalgia—just don’t know where I’d put in in my house—anywhere would be cool I imagine!
Yes and you can change it about for each event or party with different letters and pictures, its so cool
The collection in this gift guide is the perfect selection for this coming valentine. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome John, thank you for your comments
I’ve always loved those gold roses! When I was in high school, I’d always dry out the roses I would receive but they aren’t nearly as pretty as this one!
I love the smell or dried rose, I also used to do the same when I was younger as it lasts longer
They make a perfect valentine gift. Wish i can get that Gold Rose for my lovely wife
We cant agree more
Wow that gold rose is really pretty! I’ve never received anything like that before.
Yes it does Shannon
The gold rose is super cool. I have never seen anything like that before. Makes a great home decor piece.
Yes, it will look stunning in a vase
These are seriously thoughtful and cool valentine’s day gifts. I think I am still impressed with the rose dipped in gold. That is just so cool!
Absolutely! We think its such a lush gift!
As I do not have a loved one, these are all very good gift ideas. The Gold Rose would be a lovely gift to receive.
Yes it certainly would as the receiver would feel very special
the gold rose is beautiful and def interesting. But i’d get more use from the body oil
Both are great gifts Jasmine, the rose is so unique and the body oil makes your skin feel great with prolonged use
As a singleton, I don’t think I’ll be lucky enough to receive any of these unfortunately 🙁 might have to treat myself though, some of these ideas are great x
That’s a fab excuse to treat yourself Becca.
You have so many awesome ideas! I am always looking for great gift ideas. thanks for sharing.
Your welcome, so glad this has been helpful for you x
The beautiful red rose, the body oil and the fragrance would make perfect gifts for one’s Valentine.
Yes they all would if you could afford it
Awesome guide! Finding the right gift for the loved one can be tricky! thank you for these suggestions!
