The “Day of Love” aka Valentine’s Day is around the corner and we are here to guide you in finding that special something for your someone special. Fortunately gift giving for this occasion is not motivated by value but more by sentiment and with that in mind we offer you a variety of options for every price point. Whether you’re shopping for your significant other or your best friend or even sibling we can guarantee you will find something uniquely special for everyone.
The Bubbles Lover
As a lover of bubbles myself I can assure you, you cannot go wrong with gifting someone their fave bar beverage. There are a vast array of options to choose from. Some of our top picks are Colmant and Simsonsig Cap Classique but if you are looking to splurge I would strongly recommend a bottle of Bollinger Special Cuvée. Cheers!
The Jewellery Lover
I don’t believe anyone would reject an item of jewellery but I would caution you to know the person you are gifting. A stunning timepiece like this classic Ted Baker watch or perhaps something from a local jewellery designer like Pichulik. They have some beautiful options to choose from and knowing that you are supporting a local and sustainable brand adds more meaning to the gift. Local jeweller Ring Artisan based in Stellenbosch have some amazing options that is guaranteed to wow your someone special.
The Sweet Treat Lover
When in doubt about the gift you would like to bestow on your beloved it’s best to keep it sweet and simple, no pun intended. A box of chocolates is guaranteed to make anyone’s day. Babylonstoren has some melt in your mouth worthy options that won’t disappoint.
The Sneaker Lover
Sneakers are an important staple as they add the cool factor to any look. With the Adidas Sambas dominating the sneaker game for the longest time we offer more alternatives to wow your loved one with.
The Lover of Handbags
Accessories like a handbag is a great option when gifting. Our faves are the basket bags that are a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe fits.
The Lover of Trinkets
Choose something for the home. They are items that adds to the aesthetics of the home and is practical too like the espresso cups as well as a constant reminder of the person who gifted them.
The Lover of Blossoms
What more needs to be said? Who doesn’t love a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a cute plant?
The Fragrance Lover
A gift to be enjoyed not only by the receiver but the one the gifting it reaps the reward of having a loved one who smells amazing. A win for everyone.
