The onset of Valentine’s Day can cause some panic—to buy or not to buy a gift, and what should you even get them?—which is why we’ve stepped in to offer some gift ideas for that V.I.P. in your life.

Our contemporary understanding of romance is very much shaped by Hollywood movies, and in particular the on-screen smooch. For this Valentine’s, Miu Miu have launched a capsule collection, Miu Miu Kisses, celebrating some of cinema’s most memorable embraces, from Bogart and Bergman in Casablanca to Snow White & The Seven Dwarves.
Miu Miu Kisses collection is now available from Miu Miu.
Tribute to Ren Hang

Alongside C/O Berlin’s ongoing exhibition Love, Ren Hang, running through to 29 February, Taschen recently published Tribute to Ren Hang, a complete monograph of the late photographer’s work. Known for his carefree and bruisingly romantic nude studies, Ren Hang’s work makes for a gorgeous and provocative gift this Valentine’s.
Tribute to Ren Hang is now available from Taschen.
Le Labo perfume

Perfume may be the standard Valentine’s gift, but it need not be dull and predictable. Why not treat your special someone to a glorious hand-blended fragrance by Le Labo? Ranging from the iconic spicy scent Santal 33, citrusy Bergamote 22 to their newest berry-infused perfume Baie 19, they have something for all very special someones.
Le Labo perfumes are available to buy online here.
Polaroids Originals

Love and romance deserves to be documented, but rather than get snap happy with your smartphone this 14 February, why not capture those golden moments via the dreamy hue of a Polaroid camera instead?
