It’s the season of love and since February 14 is not so far, it’s time to get gifts ready. It’s time to celebrate love and show appreciation for the women in your life. Be it your partner, mom, sister, or friend, finding the perfect gift that expresses your feelings can be a challenge. So, if you’re still thinking about what to get, here is a little gifting guide that will save your time.
FOR THE BEAUTY LOVER
If she is the one who loves to try on new beauty products and makeup looks, you can surprise her with a gift that enhances her beauty. Most e-commerce have huge sales at this time so it can be a great time to purchase your surprise gift and also a little less in your pocket.
- A deluxe makeup collection which features her favourite shades and must-have products.
- There is a new luxury vegan beauty brand Dear Dahlia that is inspired by the flower and its timeless beauty offering products across all categories like lips, eyes, sun and face. That could be something which might interest her.
- A viral K-beauty brand rom&nd is here with products for the face, eyes, lips, and brows. I’ve been eyeing this brand for a long time, if not getting this as a gift, I’m going to add this to my cart.
FOR THE SKINCARE GODDESS
If she is someone who loves to pamper herself, you can give her a gift that indulges her senses.
A pampering set that includes high-quality skincare products, bath bombs, and candles is a perfect gift.
- Nykaa’s CSMS routine has been doing rounds on social media, so it could be her time to try this. They do offer a lot of options on kits that have products in 30-60-90 ml sizes which makes it easier to finish off if this is the first time.
- If she is someone who believes in age-old ayurveda for skincare secrets, then Nat Habit and TAC products are sure to impress her.
- If she loves luxury skincare then she can be surprised with ELEMIS London, CLINIQUE, Laneige, and KAMA Ayurveda.
Pro tip: Laneige lip masks can never be a wrong choice.
FOR THE TECH SAVVY
If she is a person who is always on the go but loves to be connected and updated, a gift that combines functionality and style is sure to impress her.
A smartwatch that offers a range of features that enhance her lifestyle like,
- Tracking her steps and monitoring her heart rate.
- Playing music and making calls.
- Managing schedule, and receiving notifications.
- Customizing watch face and band.
FOR THE BOOKWORM
If she loves to read and learn new things, a gift that stimulates her mind and sparks her curiosity is sure to delight her. A book that suits her taste can be a perfect gift like,
- A book that reveals the secret of money and how to use it to her advantage.
- A book that is a practical guide that teaches her how to reduce food waste and make delicious meals.
- A book that is based on science and explores the biological and psychological reasons on why we procrastinate and how to overcome it.
- A historical novel that tells the story of a young girl who grows up in the turbulent times of India’s freedom movement.
FOR THE CREATIVE SOUL
If she has a passion for art and creativity, your gift can be something that inspires her to express herself and unleash her potential. Something that matches her skills and hobbies like,
- A mandala coloring book if she loves to be calm by coloring. I was recently gifted one during a surprise Valentine’s gift exchange.
- DIY art kits across categories like resin art, Lipan, coaster painting, and much more.
- A modern mixtape that can be personalized with a Spotify code and a message.
SOME RANDOM FINDS
- A gorgeous necklace that features a unique design and a high-quality material.
- A personalized metal bracelet that can be customized with a name or initials.
- A rainbow rose in a glass dome that lights up and adds a touch of romance to her room.
- I also noticed that we now have a way to name a star after our partner. That sounded interesting and something new to me this time.
Hope this post has given some useful information and inspiration on how to choose the best gift for Valentine’s day. Always remember, the most important thing is to show your love and appreciation with a thoughtful and meaningful gift that reflects her style and personality. Happy Valentine’s Day.

I like books the best because being an influencer, I have too much of make-up and I rarely use it. But books are always new!
