Valentine's Day Gifts for Beauty Lovers

Valentine’s Day is the favourite romantic day of many people around the world; an opportunity to show someone you love just how much you do care. But where does the Valentine’s Day tradition come from, and why do we give presents?

The day originated as a feast day honouring one or two Christian martyrs called Valentine. Then, as time passed and traditions grew up around the day, its theme of celebrating romantic love developed many years later in the 14^th and 15^th centuries when ideas of courtly love began to flourish. By the 18^th century in England, it had become a day when people expressed their love for each other by giving presents like flowers and chocolates and the practice of sending Valentine’s cards blossomed. Now it’s seen as an important day by many of us who want to find the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for our Valentine.

Whether you’re celebrating with a significant other, a few of your closest friends or looking to treat yourself to some pampering self-care, the best Valentine’s Day beauty gifts can make the day even more special. A gorgeously scented bouquet of flowers is always a treat but what if you’re looking for a change from flowers? Luxury haircare and skin products will always be gratefully received as a thoughtful present, and are the gifts which keep on giving because they last longer than flowers or a box of chocolates!

So how about giving something different this year with a scented body oil to encourage relaxation and romance? Our Paradise Found Shimmering Body Oil is a luxurious blend of 4 anti-oxidant rich oils which nourish skin deeply.  The silky, lightweight formula is delicately scented with Guava & Gold’s unique fragrance of mandarin, freesia and pear blossom and a comforting base of amber and pink cedar, and it illuminates skin with shimmers of gold. Or try adding flowers to a bath instead of a vase with a few drops of the Oil leaving skin silky smooth and smelling divine.

Haircare products may seem like a practical present but in fact they’re one of the best Valentine’s Day presents for her you can think of. Ultra-nourishing hair shampoo giving the beauty lover in your life sleek, shiny hair will make a welcome change from chocolates. As will haircare products with ethically sourced ingredients. Natural oils play a key part in hydrating your scalp, keeping hair strong and smooth and avoiding breakage. So if you have a beauty lover in your life who hates dry, damaged hair and wants to shine with soft, glossy hair full of volume, help them to relieve scalp irritation and rebalance thirsty roots by gifting hair products containing natural oils.

Our bestselling Coral Beach shampoo and conditioner duo are enriched with the moisturising benefits of avocado, coconut and manuka oils to restore hair’s shine and reduce hair breakage and tangles. Even better for Valentine’s Day, the Coral Beach shampoo is a delicate shade of pink with the softest gold shimmer making it glisten and sparkle. Not only will it help to leave hair feeling and smelling amazing but it creates the perfect pamper moment as you use it.
