BETTER THAN FLOWERS Love scents don’t come more romantic than this one, Peoneve by Penhaligon’s London, $254. It smells like a lush summer garden in full bloom and the bottle and box are covered in a deep lipstick pink peony - the thinkingwoman’s favourite flower (and symbolically the flower associated with a happy marriage). From Libertine, 181 Robertson St, Fortitude Valley or libertineparfumerie. com.au

TOM FORD’S LIPS LOVE BIRDS Two little love birds sitting in a tree, beautifully rendered onto a make-up bag by Australian artist Felicia Aroney, is Napoleon Perdis’ offering for Valentine’s Day. The bag comes with a matching set of nail shade and lip gloss so you can finish off that old-school rhyme (k-is-s-i-n-g) in style! From napoleonperdis.com.
Tom Ford for Men is the new eight-piece grooming range that is guaranteed to get your man looking his gorgeous best. You have to order it from David Jones in Sydney or Melbourne as it’s not available in Brisbane but he will love that you went to great lengths to track this down just for him – how romantic! The Hydrating Lip Balm, $38, is my pick for Valentine’s Day, 1800 061 326.
