Tips and suggestions for happy home living, from furniture and bedding to cleaning and more.
Looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift that won't gather dust in a cupboard? While gift boxes of toiletries, diffusers and skin care are all good and well, make this year one to remember by giving your special someone a present they will use and appreciate every day (hint: not a gift card).
The best gifts make your partner's life a little better, every day - not just on February 14th.
Here are some trending ideas for gifts that not only say ‘I love you’ but are guaranteed to be used all the time!
For coffee lovers, a quality espresso machine is more than just an appliance - it's a shrine to the magical beans that fuel their daily ritual. Depending on your budget, you might choose a Nespresso (starting from under $200) or splash out on a fully automatic model with all the bells and whistles, from built-in frothers and bean grinders to app connectivity and programmable settings.
Perfect for wine enthusiasts, a wine cooler also makes for an excellent conversation piece when friends come over to help make a dent in that collection of sauvignon blancs and pinot noirs. If they’re a fan of reds and whites, look for models with dual temperature zones. For extra brownie points, stock it with a couple of bottles to get the party started!
This thoughtful gift combines convenience with healthier cooking options. Modern air fryers feature digital displays and preset programs for consistent results, while using minimal oil. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or trying new recipes together, it's an appliance that makes cooking at home both easier and more enjoyable.
Ideal for smoothie lovers or cooking enthusiasts, the best-selling blenders offer multiple speeds and pre-programmed settings for different recipes, while quality cold press juicers can handle everything from soft berries to tough veggies. Whether they prefer creamy smoothies or fresh-pressed juices, these handly little helpers make it easy to get their daily dose of vitamins and minerals (they can’t live on love alone).
Samsung's Frame TV transforms from a premium television into a sophisticated art display in standby mode. When you're not snuggling down to watch a romcom (or maybe Real Housewives or the cricket), it displays museum-quality artworks or your own photos, elegantly blending into the decor rather than dominating the room.
As always when shopping, read reviews from other customers before purchasing and check delivery times at checkout to make sure you can get it by V-day. By choosing a personalised gift that’s also super practical, you’ll improve your loved one's daily life long after February 14th has passed. Now you’ve got the gift inspiration sorted, don’t forget the Valentine’s Day card!
