We like to say that February is full of feel-good things including Valentine's Day. Whether you're looking for gifts for a loved one, thinking about ways to pamper yourself with the girls, or simply just wanting to get out of your January blues then carry on reading! We all know that February 14th is Valentines Day, the day to spend with your other half, exchanging gifts to express your love and gratitude for one another. However we believe that it can also be the day to spend time with yourself or your friends and treating them and you to something special.

Getting In The Mood

Our gorgeous range of heart motif tops from best-selling brand Chalk Clothing are not only fabulous for February, but incredibly easy to wear with a touch of femininity. We have the Tasha Heart Tops which are a long sleeved style, the Louise Heart Tops which are a short sleeved style, Abbie Stripe Heart Tops which are a long sleeved striped top, and finally two jumper styles, the Esme Heart on sleeve jumper which as stated has hearts located on the elbows, and the Hattie Heart Supersoft Jumper featuring a bold navy heart in the middle. These pieces are perfect for getting in the Valentine's mood in a subtle way, but also wearing as something slightly different to your everyday t-shirt!

Add Some Well Deserved Sparkle

New in for this year we've had some gorgeous jewellery which is perfect for not only gifting but treating yourself too! If you can't treat yourself on Valentine's Day then when can you? One of our favourite pieces is the Caroline Svedbom Letter Necklace which adds just the right amount of sparkle and pop of colour to any of your outfits. We love the fact that it's personalised with the letter you desire- a great purchase for reminding yourself how special you are, or even gifting to a friend you know will love it too! The perfect jewellery gifting brands we would choose are not just Caroline Svedbom but also Ania Haie, and Branch Jewellery too. Branch Jewellery is one of our newest brands to Gemini and is perfect for those who love sustainability, as everything is hand-crafted and made ethically. You can see our full collection of jewellery here.

Ways To Celebrate

We think that Valentine's Day is always worth celebrating, whether it's with your partner, your close friends, or simply taking time to think about you. The most common and classic way to celebrate is to head out for an evening meal accompanied by a glass of wine. This will always be a great go-to plan, however, if you're not really feeling heading out this year, why not grab your favourite takeaway and set the scene in the comfort of your living room with a good rom-com and your favourite candles burning (ours would be Chalk Home ones of course!) Snuggle up in your most comfortable loungewear, Emu Australia Slippers, and crack open that well-deserved bottle of something bubbly- a peaceful night in on your own, with your partner or your best friend. If you're looking to celebrate with friends, why not host a girls night in with a homemade meal, prosecco and a few good games to keep the giggles up! 

Our Favourite Gifts

Whether you've decided to celebrate with your friends, Daughter, Mum or partner, gifting is at the heart of Valentine's Day to show your love, appreciation and affection for your nearest and dearest. Our favourite and most fitting brands for gifting this Valentine's are Emu Australia, Love Cocoa, One Hundred Stars, Caroline Svedbom and Helen Moore. Our selection of Emu Australia Slippers are made from Australian Sheepskin- incredibly warm and cosy, the best investment for your feet!
