Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: how to win favour and make amends
From special scents made to be shared to a seriously cool new watch, spoil your loved one this Valentine’s Day.
Embrace the enforced romance of Valentine’s Day - life doesn’t have nearly enough of it - with fragrances you can share with a loved one, heart-embellished everything and a near-perfect lipstick. For those really out to impress, the new Omega Speedmaster Moonsphase ought to buy you more time. Meanwhile, the new eye cream from cult beauty brand Augustinus Bader promises to erase it. As for future heirlooms, there is a new take on the Cartier Trinity ring. The style is more than 100 years old and has never looked more modern (or wild). It’s spoiling season.
