What’s on your Valentine’s wish list?

Hoping to receive the gift of your dreams this Valentine’s Day? Worried you might get something that just isn't you? Why not help steer things in the right direction by making your very own Valentine’s wish list, with a little help from us.

Why make a Valentine’s wish list?

Ok, so the main advantage of making your own wish list is getting a gift that you really want! However, we also know that choosing a Valentine’s gift can be a bit of a minefield. Especially if you haven’t been dating for long, or if you want to make a big gesture. There is a lot of pressure to make the right choice and this can be overwhelming. 

That’s why making your own wishlist and dropping a few hints might actually be helpful. Taking the stress out of the situation for your loved one. Plus of course, making sure you get a gift you love. Win, win!

Choosing your Valentine's wish list?

You may already know exactly what you want for Valentine's Day. But if you’re looking for ideas we’ve got plenty. We’ve done all the legwork and pulled together a list of some of our favourite romantic pieces. There's a gift for everyone to fall in love with. Whether you’re looking for traditional symbols of love like hearts and flowers, or something alternative.

Heart shaped jewellery (it is Valentine's Day after all)

Now we know that hearts aren’t for everyone. But we couldn’t very well create a Valentine’s Day gift list without including some heart shaped jewellery.

If you're not usually a fan of hearts, try to keep an open mind, because there's more than one style of heart out there to choose from. We’ve brought together examples of heart shaped jewellery for every taste. From those with dazzling sparkle to modern sophisticated designs and even a punk-ish vibe.

Who knows, you might just fall for one of them...

Swarovski matrix heart - go big or go home this Valentine's Day!

If you love a bit of sparkle and hearts, then the Swarovski Matrix heart pendant should be top of your list. This pendant ticks all the big, romantic gesture boxes. With battens of Swarovski cut crystal that overlap to form an infinity symbol wrapped-up in a heart. It's a showstopper pendant that will set hearts alight.

Chunky ‘Knot Heart’ bracelet 

If you’re not usually a heart fan, however, you might be surprised to find yourself loving the Olivia Burton Knot Heart bracelet. A heart-shaped piece of jewellery with a bit more edge, it boasts a chunky silver heart with a rose gold knot detail. All tied up with a hefty, adjustable, silver chain.

Orchid gold charm bracelet

For something a little more sweet and subtle, the Annie Haak solid heart bracelet is simple but stunning. The solid gold heart charm is adorable and easy to wear with anything, including your other favourite bracelets. Wear solo or as part of a bracelet stack with all your favourites.

Sweet Heart stud earrings

For those who like a hint of romance but not too much fuss, these Sweet Heart studs are perfect. Mini silver hearts that look perfectly sweet on their own or as part of an ear stack. Give them a punk twist by layering them with your more edgy earrings.

Luna North Star heart pendant

Channelling a touch of hippy chic, this gorgeous Luna North Star necklace from Amelia Scott has an air of magic. Much more than just your average heart pendant. This heart-shaped necklace is for those who follow their dreams - and want to look good doing it. 

Silver dainty heart ring

If you’re not one to wear your heart on your sleeve, why not wear it on your finger instead? We all know that sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that make the greatest expressions of love. This silver Boxed Heart charm ring from Annie Haak may be small, but it says 'I love you' in style. Wear it solo or as part of your ring stack.

Alternative Valentine’s jewellery

Romantic gestures don’t have to be obvious or OTT. If none of the above sway you and you’re adamant that hearts aren’t your thing, that’s fine. We have plenty of ideas for alternative gifts up our sleeve. From trend setting pieces to fun and sophisticated designs, there’s something to suit every style.

Sexy snake chain bracelet

How about a piece of jewellery that is super sexy and ticks all the trend boxes? This Ania Haie Snake chain bracelet is a slinky little number that is super on trend right now and looks great with anything. Wear on its own with a matching necklace for sophisticated evenings out. Or with other chains for a more casual, layered look.

Glam tag pendant

For something a bit different, we love this pendant necklace from Ania Haie. There’s something very pleasing about a beautiful piece of jewellery that you can wear all the time. It becomes part of your 'look'. The sophisticated simplicity of this necklace makes it incredibly versatile, meaning you can wear it every day, at home or work. While the hint of sparkle adds a touch of glamour that can also elevate your evening attire. 

Kit Heath’s Infinity series

Michaelmas Daisy necklace

If you’re not a heart person, then what about flowers? This Michaelmas Daisy necklace from Daisy London, for instance. Pretty, but also chic and fashionable. Wear it with your favourite casual attire, on its own or layered with your other favourites. Much better than a bunch of flowers and sure to last longer.
