The Valentine’s Gifts We’d Buy Ourselves
The Valentine’s gifts we actually want? The ones we buy ourselves.
Valentine’s Day can be… a lot. For some, it’s cute. For others, it’s a reminder that romance is overrated and overpriced (and yes, slightly sponsored by Hallmark). But if there’s one thing we’ll always get behind, it’s using any excuse to show ourselves a little more love.
So consider this your permission slip to treat yourself. From gothic-heart jewellery and shimmering hair tools to the kind of luxe homewares you definitely don’t need but deeply deserve, these are the Valentine’s gifts we’re buying for the most important person in our lives: ourselves.
Idyll Matcha Gift Set, $89
In 2026, I’m trying to build more analog moments into my daily routine. This gorg matcha gift set might just be it, featuring a traditional 120-prong bamboo chasen whisk and a choice of two organic ceremonial matchas.
Shark FlexStyle Red Ruby Diamond Limited Edition, $349.99 (was $499.99)
I have officially given up on trying to nail my own blowout the traditional way. The Shark FlexStyle uses Coanda Tech to automatically wrap hair around the barrel — resulting in smooth, curled locks minus the heat damage.
Foreo FAQ 201 Advanced LED Face Mask, $621.74 (was $829.00)
Clinical-grade skin treatment in the comfort of your own home feels like the ultimate treat yourself moment. This advanced Swiss-engineered face mask from Foreo harnesses red, blue, and green LED light therapy – smoothing fine lines, clearing blemishes, and brightening uneven tone. Plus, it’s also on sale.
Le Creuset Cast Iron Heart Shaped Casserole with Heart Knob, $560
Do I need a heart shaped casserole dish? No. But I really do want one. Just imagine whipping this heart-shaped beauty out at potlucks and dinner parties. J’adore!
Arms of Eve Valentine Necklace – Rose Quartz, $120
This beautiful heart necklace is giving gothic romance in the very best way. Pair with a white tee for instant everyday elevation or save for a special occasion – it’s perfect either way! (We also think it would be super cute as a matching moment with your bestie.)
North Muse 333 Candle, $59.95
I can’t say I’m the biggest believer in crystals and angel numbers, but when it comes wrapped up in the most beautiful packaging and a seriously grounding scent, I’m here for it. Made with non-toxic soy wax and featuring a double wooden wick, the Aussie-made stunner is also just a really nice scented candle to have by your bed.
Tommy’s Booze Trio, $165
This little Tommy’s Booze gift pack features full-sized bottles of Limoncello, Mandarino and Lampone, all meticulously crafted from the finest ingredients and made in Melbourne. Grab some fresh citrus, soda water and prosecco, and you have yourself a whole spritz cart.
Reliquia Jewellery Toga Necklace, $179
All the cool girls are wearing beaded necklaces and I want in! This delicate piece from Reliquia is perfect for layering with everyday pieces or wearing solo.
Go-To Lip Glaze, $30
Go-To can do no wrong in our opinion. This latest drop is a lovely little lip glaze that delivers the perfect shine minus the sticky feeling some glosses come with. With SPF 30, it’s also sun-protecting too!
Mimco Gilded Ring, $99.95
This gorgeous rose quartz gilded ring is the perfect new addition to your hand stack. Proof that a little luxury makes ordinary moments feel a bit more special.
Something from Ecosa’s Cooling Range, from $30
Securing a good night’s sleep has to be the highest form of self-love. And for me, better rest means finding a way to tackle the hot nights of tossing and turning. Ecosa’s Cooling Range can sort that. Better yet? A bunch of items are currently on sale – with their popular CoolComfort Mattress currently from $1,372.50 and Cooling Pillow Overlay just $30. I’m sold!
Bangn Body Firming Oil, $68
This lightweight firming oil from Bangn Body has a cult following for good reason. Loaded with eight ‘Super Oils’ and essential fatty acids, it’s proven to boost radiance and skin elasticity, and can be used on face and body. Plus, it just feels super luxurious when massaging it into your skin after your everything shower.
Aire Satellite Sunglasses, $49
This round 70s-style shape has been spotted everywhere lately. I love this pair as an affordable way to dip your toes into the trend without committing too hard.
DUA by AB – The Routine, $315
Dua Lipa has entered the skincare chat and she’s teamed up with the brains behind Augustinus Bader to do it properly, with a pared-back, three-step routine designed for everyday skin. When Dua associates herself with anything, you just know it’s going to be good, and this new line is no exception. It’s also the perfect entryway for anyone who’s been keen to try the iconic Augustinus Bader technology but has found the price point a little too steep.
The edit includes a gentle cleanser, a glow-boosting treatment and a do-it-all moisturiser, all built around a next-gen version of Bader’s cult technology.
LATRAVLA Silk PillowWraps, From $90
I only recently came across these universal mulberry silk pillow covers and have been obsessing over them ever since. Engineered with silver nanoparticles to provide a clean sleeping surface wherever you go, they’re ideal for chucking in your carry-on luggage.
JAG Ardon Knit Short, $140
Who could say no to something cute and comfy? These playful new knit shorts in butter yellow, cerulean blue and chocolate brown have snuck right to the top of my wishlist. Ideal for days lounging around the house, running errands or throwing on over bathers.
Who Is Elijah Nomad, $179
A sexy new scent is always on my mind. I’ve been hearing a lot about this one from Who Is Elijah. With notes of Bulgarian Rose, Egyptian Jasmine, Saffron and Amberwood, it’s both sweet and earthy.
These are just a few of the Valentine’s gifts we’re lusting over right now. For more inspiration, check out the Valentine’s gifts that never miss or keep it simple and treat yourself to something sparkly from Australia’s best jewellery brands.
