Kayali Vanilla 28 EDP
If your partner loves a fragrance, then a fragrance from Kayali is an excellent gift idea. This particular one is a delicious blend of creamy jasmine, Madagascan vanilla orchid, Brazilian tonka, musk, amber, patchouli and brown sugar.
LVLY Flowers
We know flowers on Valentine’s Day are such a cliche, but these flowers have a twist! LVLY do more than just flowers, you can add treats like chocolates, affirmation cards, wine and candles to your gift to make them stand out. They package it up in one box and deliver it anywhere in Australia. A basic bunch starts at $70 and goes up to around $200 for the more extravagant gift sets and bunches.
FoldUP Movement Mat
Alright, we can personally vouch for this particular present as it’s one of my all-time faves. The FoldUp’s Movement Mat is a dream for anyone obsessed with yoga or Pilates. It’s supportive, easily transported, comfortable and folds up neatly to fit into a backpack. Plus, you can score 10% off using the code ‘PEDESTRIAN10‘ at the checkout. You’re welcome!
