Beyond the Box of Chocolates: A Thoughtful Valentine's Gift Guide
A Thoughtful Valentine’s Gift Guide (That Isn’t Roses Again)
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be loud, last-minute or covered in novelty hearts. Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the quiet ones, the ones that say I know you, I thought about this, I wanted you to feel good.
If you’re looking for a Valentine’s gift that feels considered (but not overdone), this guide is for you. From soft florals to scent discovery, these are gifts designed to be enjoyed long after the 14th of February.
Whether you’re buying for a partner, a friend, or yourself (because self-gifting absolutely counts), here are four Valentine’s-ready favourites.
1. Blush Peony Candle or Wax Melts
A timeless floral, done beautifully
Blush Peony is one of those scents that feels instantly comforting and quietly romantic. Soft, floral and elegant, it’s a safe choice, but never a boring one.
If you’re not sure whether to choose a candle or wax melts, here’s a simple rule:
- Choose the candle if you want something decorative and indulgent
- Choose the wax melts if they already love their burner or enjoy changing scents regularly
Perfect for:
- A classic Valentine’s gift
- Someone who loves florals but not overpowering scents
- A small but meaningful gesture
This is the kind of scent that fits into everyday life, and that’s exactly why it works so well as a gift.

2. The Floral Edit Candle Set
Three candles, beautifully curated
If you’re looking for something a little more generous, The Floral Edit candle set is a lovely way to gift variety without overwhelm.
This trio includes:
- Blush Peony
- English Pear & Freesia
- Bluebell Woods
Together, they feel soft, fresh and romantic, like spring arriving early.
Perfect for:
- A “proper” Valentine’s gift
- Someone who enjoys different moods and scents
- When you want the gift to feel special straight out of the box
It’s elegant, easy to love, and doesn’t rely on Valentine’s clichés to feel romantic.

3. Wax Melt Subscription Box
A gift that keeps showing up
If you want to give something a little different this Valentine’s Day, a wax melt subscription is a thoughtful alternative to a one-off gift. You can choose from a 1, 3 or 6 month subscription, and delivery is free.
Each box is curated around a theme and designed to be a small moment of joy landing on the doorstep, long after Valentine’s Day has passed.
Perfect for:
- Someone who loves discovering new scents
- A gift that feels ongoing and generous
- When you want to say “this isn’t just for one day”
It’s especially lovely if you’re not confident choosing a single scent - the variety takes the pressure off.

4. Scent Discovery Box
For when you’re not sure what they’ll love
Not sure which scent to choose? The Scent Discovery Box is designed exactly for that moment.
It allows them to explore a curated selection of fragrances and discover their favourites in their own time, no guesswork required.
Perfect for:
- First-time candle or wax melt gifts
- Anyone who enjoys variety
- When you want it to feel thoughtful, even if you’re short on time
This is one of our most popular gift options for a reason: it’s easy, reassuring, and always well received.

A gentle reminder: Valentine’s doesn’t have to look one way
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be grand gestures or last-minute panic. Sometimes, it’s simply about choosing something that fits into someone’s life and makes them feel cared for.
And yes, buying something beautiful for yourself absolutely counts too.
If you’re ordering for Valentine’s Day, we recommend placing your order as soon as possible to allow time for dispatch and delivery.
