The Best Valentine’s Day Gifts For Every Type Of Woman

By Molly Peters

Posted on February 8, 2017

When flowers seem too ordinary and jewellery seems too predictable, here’s what to buy her (or ask bae for!)

You want to show her how much she means to you by getting her something thoughtful on Valentine’s Day (or perhaps you want ideas on what to ask for). But flowers seem too ordinary and jewellery seems too predictable… so what now? Bundle + Twine have helped us narrow down 10 different types of women to help you put together a unique and personalised gift box from the comfort of your home (or office, because gift buying is secret business).

You can keep picking a present nice and easy by opting for a gorgeous pre-designed gift box on Bundle + Twine’s website or get a little creative and design your own with these suggestions below. Otherwise, take it to the next level and start from scratch once you’ve got a little bit of inspiration here. You can mix and match as many items as you want in the design your own section to create a completely unique gift box. There are literally millions of combinations at every price point and the best part is that even if you just choose just one individual item to gift, Bundle + Twine will still make the box look unbelievably amazing.

1. The Rom-Com Girl

Guys like Ryan Gosling, Hugh Jackman and Brad Pitt exist to make your life miserable. Pretty much no-one can live up to the romantic notions that the Rom-Com Girl has, but you’re not a quitter. Unhelpfully, she also thinks Paris is the most romantic city in the world, so unless your Valentine budget stretches to long haul flights, you might want to try this French themed gift:

Cereal City Guide Paris: basically the next best thing to that long haul flight. Anyone who’s ever been or dreamed of going to Paris will enjoy this Cereal City Guide. Featuring a discerning edit of Cereal Magazine’s favourite places, alongside a photo essay of the city and personal essays by Parisians Yvon Lambert and Hugo Haas of Ciguë Architects. There’s also a neighbourhood map and a section of additional recommendations.

Moet & Chandon: Be a little extravagant and spoil her with one of the finest French Champagnes. Ps. if you’re on a budget, Bundle + Twine offer the bottle in two sizes. The petite bottle will still pack all the punch at a fraction of the cost.

George & Edi Candle: French Pear scent seems like a no-brainer here guys. It has a sophisticated and rich fragrance of ripened pears with fresh ginger. These candles are hand poured using natural soy wax with approximately 50 hours burn time.Tote Bag: All the way from Paris, this be-pôles’ tote bag, aka ‘le sac en tissu’ makes a wonderful and stylish carry bag complete with French writing. Perfect for romantic picnic lunches.

Rosanna Inc Love Heart Dish: well it is Valentine’s Day after all! This charming little porcelain dish is perfect for storing rings and mementos on a bed side table, desk or bench top.

2. The “Not a morning person” Type

This woman loves her sleep so much that she thinks there’s only one 6 o’clock each day. If you’re tasked with the job of getting her up after she’s hit snooze button half a dozen times, this might be the gift you’ve been waiting for. The aim of the game is a nice gentle wake up with cute stuff added in wherever possible to encourage a smile

Deitea Loose Leaf Tea: A charming loose leaf blend of Japanese Sencha sprinkled with passionfruit flowers and marigolds. To be enjoyed as is or perhaps with an infusion of fruits.

Tea Infuser: for the perfect individual serving of tea that you make her in the morning.

Snug Studio Serving Board: a teddy bear shaped wooden serving board for you to deliver her cup of tea in bed. If that doesn’t make her smile, we’re not sure what will. Double this as a cheese board for a romantic movie night in.

Chocolate Teddies: not the traditional biscuit to dip in tea, but this is no ordinary day so you need to step up – with teddy shaped chocolates!

3. The Ooey-Gooey Sweet Girl

She’s got so many pet names for you that you can barely remember your own name. “Honey Bunny” is one of your personal favourites and it’s the motivation for this gift:

Jellycat ‘Twinkle’ Bashful Bunny: for when you can’t be there to snuggle, this SUPER soft bunny will be just the thing she reaches for.

J Friend & Co Macadamia Honey: delicious and sweet honey, just like her! This golden Macadamia Honey has a silky smooth texture with a distinctive, complex aroma featuring freshly harvested nuts and coffee. Amazing when drizzled over fruit or cereal, added to tea or brushed over fish or meat and caramelised under a hot grill.

Wooden Honey Dipper: it’s this or honey dripping down a jar and sticking to the pantry shelf for all eternity (she won’t be pleased with the latter).

4. The Fit Queen

You can’t have dinner with her Monday, Wednesday or Thursday, and breakfast is tricky on Tuesdays and Fridays, unless Sarah is doing the Spin Class, in which case Fridays are fine for breakfast. She’s super fit and loves all things health orientated.

5. The Choco-Holic

I think we’ve all met her – the one with the super serious sweet tooth. Chocolate is her sixth food group and as far as that food pyramid thingy goes, chocolate sits nicely along the base of the pyramid for this gorgeous girl!

Bahen & Co Almond Sea Salt Chocolate: this will hit the spot.

Monsieur Truffe Chocolate with Honeycomb: and this will hit the other spot – it’s filled with golden specks of honeycomb that are folded through delicious smooth chocolate.

The diametric opposite to the chocoholic, this women loves cheese. You’ve learnt the hard way to keep your hands away from a cheese board.
