The best luxury Valentine’s gift ideas: personal tech, treats and lifestyle upgrades

There’s no better way to show your love than with pure luxury. Thankfully, The Luxe Review is on hand with the most beautiful gift ideas for any partner for Valentine’s Day .

Whether you’re buying a special gift for your girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband, or, for yourself, here are the best luxury gift ideas to really treat the one you love… 

For fun and fresh jewellery: LOVE necklace by Tatty Devine 

On Valentine’s Day, jewellery is always a good idea. Tatty Devine’s distinctive designs are the perfect mix of quirky and classy, with the added bonus that each piece is so unique that you can guarantee your Valentine won’t have something like it already. Even more fittingly, the British-based jewellery designer has a fabulous Valentine’s collection to choose from right now. We’re obsessed with the LOVE necklace (above), for its cute and colourful artwork, with just the right amount of romance.

Usefully, Tatty Devine also offers a gift wrap option in its signature lobster (who are known to mate for life) print, so you can also send gifts directly to your loved one, even if you can’t be with them in person this year. 

£75, Tatty Devine 

To make it personal: Customised bottles of spirits by INKD

Go one better than a bottle of wine and give them something really special: a one-of-a-kind, personalised bottle of their favourite spirit from INKD’s Valentine’s Day collection. 

INKD allows you to use innovative and easy design tools to create custom artistic designs, personalised with a name or message, for a beautiful addition to their bar cart which they’ll want to keep long after they’ve enjoyed the drink inside. 

The brand’s super fun Valentine’s collection of designs is available in three of the world’s most popular spirits and drinks, on a bottle of celebration-worthy CÎROC vodka, exquisite Courvoisier cognac or celeb-favourite Belaire champagne. Your Valentine will never have been given a gift like this before.

The IQUI is an innovative new camera which takes super cool 360 degree photos and short videos, in a way which captures fun, movement, time and place like no other.

The pen-sized camera is perfect for anyone who loves to travel, as not only is it super lightweight and ultra-portable, but its 360 degree lens will capture landscapes and the scenery around you like never before. Give this to your partner this Valentine’s Day and it will become the perfect companion for making fun memories together, wherever you take it along.

For the one you love as much as lattes: Home Brew coffee course  

Finding activities you can do together (other than watching Netflix) for Valentine’s Day is no mean feat. But we’ve found the perfect at-home date for coffee lovers: The home brew course by the leading coffee consumers at the Artisan Coffee School. 

Hosted via Zoom (and with dates available to book on Valentine’s Day and beyond), the two hour experience will teach budding baristas how to make the perfect cup of coffee from home.

You’ll learn things you never knew about your favourite drink, as well as the ideal coffee brewing times, weights, roasts and new coffee-making methods, to discover how to make your perfect coffee – a skill you’ll be able to enjoy forever after the course, too. 

The Artisan Coffee School’s classes are hosted by super knowledgeable and passionate coffee experts who will educate you on any areas of coffee you’ve ever been curious about. Plus, the Artisan Coffee School even roasts its own coffee, at the Curious Roo coffee roastery in Chiswick, London, and this will be delivered to you ahead of the class – so you can hone your new brewing skills with some of the best beans in the business.

To elevate their coffee and their kitchen: Melitta AMANO pour over coffee maker 

If your partner loves coffee, take their brew to the next level with this beautifully high end coffee maker by the experts at Melitta. This will make coffee which looks as good as it tastes, with a beautiful minimalist design and boasting a superior taste experience. Melitta’s especially designed filters allow for a shorter brew time, too. 

We’re particular fans of the way every design aspect of this filter coffee maker has been carefully considered, from the mount of the filter ring which appears to be elegantly suspended in the air on its curved metal side, to the beautiful fluid form of the glass jug, which is made from durable borosilicate glass. Usefully, the drip stop means you don’t have to worry about leaving any drips on your counter, either.
