Roses are red, violets are blue, gift buying for that special someone can be sure hard to do!

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and I know that buying a gift for loved ones can be a challenge to say the least!Although it can be daunting, don’t be put off.  I’ve shared my ultimate gift guide below – you’re sure to find something to put a smile on that special someone’s face this year. 

For the Gamer

What’s Cooking, Good Looking
From past experience, you can never go wrong with a new knife. Being a parent and a wife, I know you can never have too many good knives! Ladies – if you want to encourage your men to cook more, I would suggest this knife to impress him. Blokes love getting straight into the manly chopping!
Victorinox Swiss Classic Santoku Knife
This Santoku excels at slicing, dicing and mincing. You can even select the hue to best suit your home – available in black, pink, green, orange and yellow. Ready, steady, cook! RRP $99.95 Available from Victorinox



The Trendy Type
One thing I always love to buy my husband on Valentine’s Day is an accessory to complement his style. Give your guy a fashion-forward present this year with these handy ideas:
Tie and pocket square- RRP $39 
Go for a neutral and classic colour like navy.
Cufflinks - RRP $39
Cufflinks are an accessory that every man needs. They dress up any occasion, be it work, date night, or a formal function.
Belt $29
Every man usually owns a black belt, right? But fashion 101 dictates  that his shoes must match his belt. So this ValentineI’ve gone for a nice brown belt. Brown belts show a modern,sophisticated look and give any look a trendy lift. 
Lapel Pin RRP $34
Something unique here that your modern man would love! We went for a quill feather lapel pin. It’s different, shows style and has a little bit of an edge. 
Available from Buckle 1922






For the Smiling Stud
A teeth whitening kit is always a great gift for him or her – just make sure they’re not offended! You can't go wrong with the must have Mr Bright kit.

His Favourite Gift
Ladies, in spirit of Valentine's Day why not give your man a sexy surprise with some 
Modibodi underwear?! Speaking from experience, this underwear is not only comfy but also looks great. I’ve been wearing Modibodi underwear for a while now and am loving the high quality fabrics they use like Bamboo, Merino Perform Wool and Microfibre.

Otterbox  offers premium protection smartphone cases and accessories that cater to every style. You seriously can’t go wrong. RRP from $30  Available from Otterbox







For the Snugglers 
If you’re looking for something that’s unique and useful, why not gift your love with a premium quality quilt cover set? You could go for a neutral tone that looks great against white sheets, fits in any colour scheme and looks modern and stylish, or you could choose something more daring to brighten up their bedroom.

  11. I cannot believe Valentine's Day is right around the corner! Do you celebrate?! I'm all for an excuse to celebrate, so we do! Care about less, care about freedom. Also, I'd add my two cents on accessories. Think about a minimalist slim wallet. Nothing ruins the lines of a suit or blazer and makes you look more like a doofus than when your pockets are crammed with stuff - a wallet, a cell phone, keys, a calculator, a calendar, pens, etc. I favor Kisetsu wallets , the classic bifold reinvented a feature-packed Premium minimalist wallet made with Full Grain Nappa Leather and RFID protection. How about you?
