Fashion pros say we're going to see a return to silver in 2024 — yes, your girl has been stacking gold rings and chains for the last half-decade — so why not get her collection off to a good start?

It also doesn't hurt that these Gucci studs, part of Goldsmiths' V-Day edit, are a budget-friendly dupe for those Tiffany Heart Tag Earrings which retail for an eye-watering £505.

BEST BUNCH OF ETHICAL BLOOMS

Arena Flowers Dawn Promise

Dawn Promise

Roses are red… and played out. Instead, brighten her day with this mix of lavender, lilac statice, pink alstroemeria and eucalyptus from the UK's most ethical florist, Arena Flowers.

As well as a unique declaration of your love, they're also a hopeful reminder that spring is just around the corner. And you can even add a glass vase for just £10.

BEST ACCESSORY FOR FASHION FANS

Alo Yoga Foxy Sherpa Tote

Foxy Sherpa Tote

A gift that helps her stick to her multitude of new years resolutions shows you've really thought about it, and we can confirm this cozy carryall fits her laptop, yoga gear and various emotional support water bottles.

If she's a little more minimalist, there's a sherpa bumbag we can see being a big hit too.

5
BEST SEX TOY FOR A SLOW BUILD

Ann Summers The U Self Love Stimulator

On Sale
The U Self Love Stimulator
Now 30% Off

OK, we admit that at certain angles this sex toy kind of looks like a giant tooth, so if she’s scared of the dentist it might be best to steer clear. Aesthetics aside, it's a pretty cool piece of kit.

Designed to reflect the shape of the whole clitoris (it's shaped like a wishbone, fellas), the U uses layering technology which surrounds — rather than penetrates — the vulva with deep, rumbling vibrations for a gradual but more intense orgasm. So a great gift, basically.

BEST TRAINERS FOR HER

Converse x Comme des Garçons PLAY Chuck 70

x Comme des Garçons PLAY Chuck 70

Converse have proven that they're never going out of style, and this collab with Comme Des Garcons is pure fire emoji. For V-day style she'll happily wear year-round.

BEST FOR SEX-TECH BEGINNERS

LELO SILA Sonic Clitoral Massager

SILA Sonic Clitoral Massager

They say the best things come in small packages, and we think they might have been talking about this clitoral massager from Scandi sex toy purveyor LELO.

Mini but mighty, it uses sonic waves across eight toe-curling settings for unparalleled pleasure — take it from our many satisfied testers.

9
BEST CULT-FAVOURITE FRAGRANCE

Santal 33 Eau de Parfum

Santal 33 Eau de Parfum

Trust us, your girl has heard of and most probably lusted after this perfume. Creating the kind of hype in Millennials only matched by skinny jeans in 2007, this is a truly intoxicating scent — just read the reviews if you don’t believe us.

Cardamom, violet, iris smoked sandalwood and cedar combine to create a spicy, musky and addictively comforting scent. A modern icon and amazing gift.

We're lucky enough to live in a world where you can get brownies, cake and cookies pushed through your letterbox — so why deny her that joy?

This biscuit and macaroon mash-up from London's only all-natural bakery Cutter & Squidge includes inch-wide bites of strawberries and cream, blueberry cheesecake, salted caramel s'more, billionaire dreambar and brownie-flavoured 'biskies' which are, quite simply, heavenly.

11
BEST LACE LINGERIE

Intimissimi Living in Luxe Tulle and Lace Babydoll

Living in Luxe Tulle and Lace Babydoll

If buying lingerie feels like a bit of a minefield (let's just say it can lead to accusations that you're essentially buying a gift for yourself), strike a happy middle ground with this lace babydoll.

While offering a little more coverage than your typical lingerie set (ideal if she's a tad self-conscious), it's still super sexy and luxurious. Tick, tick, tick.

12

Ocean Bottle Fire Red

Fire Red

What's hotter than saving the planet? Not much, we think. Gift her this fiery reusable water bottle to not only show your love, but also ensure she has ice-cold drinks on the go for years to come — that's caring, people!

BEST FOR BATH LOVERS

NEOM Organics Great Day Body Scrub

Great Day Body Scrub

Finding the perfect body scrub is a bit like finding the perfect partner. It can take years, you're bound to be sorely disappointed along the way, and it can even be pretty painful.

End her search for both by gifting her this uplifting scrub from wellness aficionados NEOM. Made with a skin-loving sugar base, it nourishes as it exfoliates without stripping skin, leaving her hydrated, happy and positively glowing. It smells incredible too, thanks to a heady blend of wild mint and mandarin essential oils.

Throw in the brand's matching candle for ultimate bath time luxury. Who needs a spa day anyway?

BEST BRA & SUSPENDER SET

Lounge Isadora Intimates Set

Isadora Intimates Set

BEST FRUITY FRAGRANCE FOR HER

PHLUR Apricot Privee eau de parfum

Apricot Privee eau de parfum

Sure, flowers show how your feelings are really beginning to bloom. But we all know they tend to only last a few days before looking a little worse for wear.

The next best thing? The bottled variety that'll have her thinking of you every morning. This fruity, floral scent from PHLUR balances notes of plum, cardamom and jasmine with sticky peaches and apricots, making it the perfect everyday scent.

And that minimalist bottle totally fits the 'Clean Girl' aesthetic she's been banging on about.

Monica Vinader Ziggy Mini Petal Fine Twist Chain Necklace

Ziggy Mini Petal Fine Twist Chain Necklace

Engrave your loved ones' initial on this mini pendant, complete with a super fine, gorgeously delicate twisted chain. Made from 18 carat gold vermeil (way more durable than gold plating), the chain is adjustable, so she can wear it on its own as a choker, or longer with a pendant attached. You've got to love a two-for-one.

18
BEST FOR GREEN-FINGERED BAES

Bloom & Wild The Flamingo Flower

The Flamingo Flower

Some women are just not into flowers, and that’s fine. But did you know the reason is often because flowers die (sob), and you have to throw them out? Circumnavigate both problems and give her a wellbeing boost with this gorgeous potted plant instead.

Not only are the heart-shaped pink flowers a subtle nod to Valentine’s Day but they blossom year-round too, so she'll never forget how damn generous you are. Plus it comes in an on-trend seagrass jute planter, so no faffing to find a pot that fits.
