If you're single this Valentine's Day, you might be dreading it. If you're coupled up, maybe you're stressing about nailing the vibe of a present or a date.
Either way, don't you deserve a little (or big) treat?
Whatever your status, we've pulled together a sexy wee list of homewares, gadgets, self care supplies and a few other delicious and adorable things to see you right come February 14th.
If the bank account is looking bare, there's plenty of options under $35, or if this is an excuse to finally get your mitts on that outrageously expensive appliance, we've got those covered too.
Here are some of our picks for the best Valentine's Day buys for 2025:
Spend a little
So much more than your average chapstick - with a cool metal tip and a minty balm, it even claims to freshen breath and fight off pollution.
Living & Co Rose Ice Cube Tray - $6
Most of us don't have the time, money or freezer space to have 17 different kinds of ice like those gals on TikTok, but these cute rose ice cubes are a bloody good start.
Crocs Heart Cherries Jibbitz - $11.99
Whether it's a nod to your partner, your ride or die mate or just the love between you and the voice in your head, wear your cherry heart(s) on your shoe this V Day.
Love Burger Bath Gift Lush - $35
Who needs an expensive day at the spa when you've got a lemon oil bubble bar and rhubarb and custard-scented soaps layered in between a cherry-fragranced bath bomb and served up in gorgeous burger packaging?
Living & Co Eva Heart Stemware - $12
You don't have to spend up large to enjoy your Valentine's beverages in an adorable way - plus, as our mates at the Warehouse point out, these can also be used to serve up dessert.
Spend a lot
This fresh and fruity fragrance is just floral enough for V Day without being overpowering - and I can say from personal experience, Circa's diffusers actually WORK with a long lasting scent that genuinely fills a room (and your heart, aw.)
Crocs Classic V Day Clog in Red - $119
We all know someone who loves their Crocs more than just about anything. Maybe you are that person. They (or you) are gonna need these.
Le Creuset Stoneware Set of 2 Heart Mugs with Saucers - $140
Yes, $70 a pop is expensive for a mug, but I dare you to tell me these aren't the cutest freaking things you've ever seen - and they come with matching saucers! Get out!
Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet LEGO - $109.99
This one ticks a lot of boxes - great for people who can't be effed with real flowers, fun date night (or solo) activity, lasts for life, makes your house look stunning - what's not to like?
Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Blossom Pink - $139
A polaroid camera just makes sense - whether it's for taking saucy snaps, documenting cherished memories or taking up a new hobby so you have something to write in your dating profile.
Spend a small fortune
A good straightener is so much more than that - it's the key to later sleep-ins in the morning, feelin' yourself when you look in the mirror and taming unruly locks come humidity or high water. I was lucky enough to try the new Max version of the already epic GHD Chronos, and the larger plates are next level for both curls and sleek styles.
Satisfyer who? This bit of kit will make you glad the robots are taking over. Not only does the Womanizer have an 'autopilot' feature that switches between different intensity levels without you doing a thing, it has an exceptionally quiet motor (sorry, not sorry flatmates) and 'smart silence', which means it only starts going when in contact with the skin.
What could be more delicious than giving (or getting) the gift of ice creams and frozen treats on tap? This little puppy has gone totally viral for the way it makes sorbet, mcflurry knock offs, frozen yoghurt, slushies, milkshakes, coffees and just about anything else cold and yummy you could dream up.
Dyson Airwrap i.d - Red Velvet and Gold - $899
Just when you think they've done it all, Dyson has added a function that literally programs perfect curls every time by connecting to an app and adjusting heat and airflow based on your personal hair profile. WHAT?!
Shark Beauty Black Sparkle FlexStyle - $549.99
Some people reckon their FlexStyle is like a magic wand for hair - and now it looks like one too. The new 'Black Sparkle' tool is bejewelled with over 20,000 shimmering crystals, and a refreshed design for the auto-wrap curlers. It's so extra I could scream.
