Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and although some may not consider this day to be special or warrant any kind of recognition, to some it is a day to share with loved ones and even spoil them a little.

With it being only a short time since Christmas you may be stuck on what to get to make this day special. So if you’re starting to panic and are in need of a little bit of inspiration look no further than my ‘Gift Guide’ to the perfect present.

FOR HER

If you're not into huge gestures but you’re wanting to treat the lady in your life to something special then I don’t think you can go wrong with this cute Moschino iPhone 6 Bear Bank Case. If you know Moschino you know how fun and quirky the designs are and I think this phone case has to be my favourite yet! With the signature logo detailing it will add the perfect finishing to your look.

Another fool proof gift is of course jewellery, I mean what girl doesn't love a nice pair of earrings or a stunning little bracelet to wear and be reminded of the one who gifted them it. I love the simple design and flat orb detailing on the Vivienne Westwood Jewellery Orb Bracelet. Another good thing, it comes in palladium as well as gold so you have a choice!

If you’re looking for that bit of extra something then why not treat her to a gorgeous Michael By Michael Kors bag. The Selby Satchel is new in this season and the perfect choice I think! I love the shape and style of the bag and there is plenty of room for all those everyday essentials. Remember my tip, keep it classic and if you're not sure opt for this gorgeous bag in black.

If thinking outside of the box is more your style and you’re looking for a little bit of edge then I would recommend the Kenzo Tiger Head Sweatshirt. With a variety of colour options - black, fuchsia and grey, this key piece is perfect for coming seasons and what girl doesn't love Kenzo!

My final pick for the ladies, and a favourite pick of mine for the new season are the Ugg Cory Boots available in both chestnut or black. In my opinion they are the perfect size and can be easily thrown on with a multitude of outfits.

FOR HIM

My first pick is the perfect luxury gift for your loved one, the Gucci Interlock Monogram Belt is not only practical but also a real luxury treat. The perfect statement piece that can be worn with smart trousers or jeans and is sure to be a hit with your man.

Sticking with accessories why not opt for underwear, as obvious as it may be it’s an essential! With so many designer brands to pick from it was hard to narrow it down to just one. So my opinion is keep the colours classic and go for a multi pack – my top pick would be the Boss Bodywear 3 Pack Trunks. You can’t go wrong!

You may be looking for an extra little something special and I think the Versus Versace Lion Head Sweatshirt is the perfect alternative. Finished with the iconic lion print design, this may not be for everyone, but if he's into his designers then this is a sure winner.

My next pick of course is footwear because let’s face it what guy doesn’t like a good pair of shoes these days. They’re almost as bad as us ladies! So for this I have picked out two pairs of my favourites with the first being the Giuseppe Zanotti May Mid Top Trainers. So these may not be for everyone, but remember I've picked two options. Personally I love the gold zip details and with the option of black or white leather they’ll go with so many things.
My second choice is a bit different with the Nike Roshe Flyknit Trainers perfect for everyday use whether your man is into the gym or just loves his trainers - what's not to love!

If all else fails I would suggest a simple tee or polo shirt as a great gift as it’s practical. I would recommend something like the Stone Island Long Sleeve Tinto Capo T-Shirt with the option of six different colours, you can pick something classic or go for something vibrant.
