Whether you need to drop someone a not-so subtle hint about what you’d like for V-day, or you’re after inspo for a gift to show your girlfriend, best friend or sister how much you love them, or you just feel like treating yourself (which is perfectly fine), here’s five buys that have caught my eye…

Bella Freud Red Loving Candle, £38, Liberty

Ok, so it’s spendy, but I couldn’t resist including this candle which is a mashup of tuberose, amber crystal and sandalwood in a bright red pot with the word LOVING written across it in lettering that looks like the kind of thing I scrawled over my schoolbooks as a teen. Justify it by reminding yourself that it will make an excellent pen pot when it’s finished burning.

Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss In Love, £26, Net A Porter

Another spendy choice, I’m not doing very well on the price front for this post so far, am I? It’s in because the colour’s called Love, so couldn’t be more perfect, and I do hear very good things about Chantecaille products. It’s a pretty pink gloss that contains green tea extract to protect your lips against harsh conditions so that’s basically all weather at the moment (assuming you’re not currently on holiday somewhere sunny, of course!)

Love A4 Notebook, £8, Rosie Wonders

Possibly the sweetest notebook I’ve ever seen. Click the link below only if you’re feeling very strong of will, Rosie’s site is packed with all kinds of cuteness. You have been warned.

Lovebird Mug, £16, Rory Dobner

The intricate black and white illustration of a sunglasses-sporting lovebird and roses around a heart was created by artist Rory as a symbol for love.
