As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s time to start thinking about gifts for your loved one. If you’re still in the honeymoon phase and unsure what to get, take a deep breath and scroll through our list below. We’ve included a variety of ideas that cater to different tastes and interests.

Our suggestions include everything from classic gestures like cards and flowers to more unique gifts like a romantic getaway or a record player.

Whether you’re looking for something to make your partner feel pampered, inspired by the stars, or simply appreciated, we’ve got you covered.

Cards

For the ultimate touch of personalization, consider pairing your thoughtful gift with a handmade card. A heartfelt message within can make it even more special. If you’re short on time or not feeling crafty, don’t worry – Elm Paper has an extensive collection of Valentine’s Day-themed cards to suit every taste and style. And at just $6.50, it’s an affordable way to add a romantic touch.

Cookbooks

If your partner is a culinary whiz, you’re in luck! If they have a history of kitchen mishaps, however, this gift idea might not be the best bet. Assuming all’s well in the kitchen, we recommend Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook, Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat, for two compelling reasons: its mouthwatering recipes and the opportunity to learn from one half of the world’s most beloved couple.

This Valentine’s Day treat is a thoughtful and indulgent way to show your partner you care, and it won’t break the bank at just $36.25 via Booktopia.

Flowers

Forget the cliché, lackluster bouquets that fail to impress. Instead, treat your loved one to a unique and vibrant arrangement from one of our curated list of talented florists. With options ranging from whimsical wildflowers to elegant, handcrafted masterpieces, you’re sure to find something that will leave them beaming with delight.

Starting at $100, these exquisite bouquets are an investment in the art of gifting.

Dinner

Food has the power to bring people together, and what better way to share that love than over a delectable meal? When a cookbook just won’t cut it, treat your loved one to an unforgettable dining experience. Walsh Bay Kitchen, with its picturesque harbour side setting, is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner for two. And why stop there? Catch a show at the Roslyn Packer Theatre right next door and make the night truly unforgettable.

With prices starting around $120 for two people, it’s an investment worth making in your relationship.

A Romantic Getaway

For the ultimate romantic gesture, look no further than a luxurious getaway to QT in Port Douglas. The resort’s modern lounge bar, Estilo, is offering a special Valentine’s Day package that will leave your loved one feeling pampered and impressed. After savoring their delectable menu, you can extend your stay for a few extra days, making it the perfect opportunity to rekindle the flame or create new memories together.

This indulgent experience comes with a minimum price tag of $200, making it an investment in your relationship that’s sure to pay off.

A Record Player

Instead of opting for the predictable concert ticket, consider gifting your partner a unique experience that will resonate with their music tastes. A record player is an excellent choice, as it allows them to enjoy their favorite albums in a whole new way. The warm, rich sound quality of vinyl records is unparalleled, and they’ll appreciate the thoughtfulness you’ve put into selecting their favorite albums (even if you don’t share the same musical preferences).

With prices ranging from $200 to $600, this gift is sure to impress.

Pampering Sessions

Treat your partner (or yourself!) to some much-needed relaxation with a gift voucher for a spa day or rejuvenating facial treatment. Options like Langhana Spa’s pampering packages or Face Plus Medispa’s extensive range of facials and laser treatments can be the perfect way to start the new year feeling refreshed and revitalized.

For a price tag that won’t break the bank, you can choose from affordable options ranging from $50 to $200 for a spa day, or invest in a more indulgent experience costing up to $2,500 for a cosmetic treatment. Whatever your budget, there’s something on offer to suit your needs.

A Telescope

While stargazing might seem like an unconventional romantic gesture, it has the potential to be incredibly memorable. If your partner is a lover of all things celestial, they’ll likely be thrilled by the thought and effort you put into creating a special experience for them. Consider setting up a telescope at the beach for a late-night viewing session, or opt for a more luxurious option like a visit to an observatory (think La La Land’s iconic dance scene).

Depending on your budget, prices can range from around $150 to over $8,000 for a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
