Top 10: our Luxury Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2025

February 10, 2025

Just a few weeks ago, we shared our favourite picks for Lunar New Year 2025, and our team is now ready to unveil our next list of top products: it’s time for our annual Valentine’s Day Luxury Gift Guide!

This year, we have divided the guide into categories to make your shopping as seamless as possible. The other good news is that many products are unisex, so you will have many different options.

Here are our Top 10 products, in no particular order.

FRAGRANCES

TOM FORD Café Rose Eau de Parfum

TOM FORD’s Café Rose Eau de Parfum is all about opulent floralcy with the sophistication that only TOM FORD’s brand can offer. This scent is where the untamed sensuality of a refined rose is infused with an unexpected twist of dark coffee.

Featuring key notes of Turkish Rose and Bulgarian Rose and Coffee, this unisex fragrance is housed in a semi-transparent rosy bottle that has a violet bronze-toned cap and plaque. Elegant and classic, it would make a fantastic gift for a Valentine.

The brand recommends applying the fragrance by spraying it once or twice on desired areas, on clean skin. Rubbing it on the skin is not recommended, as this will alter how the fragrance develops.

Considered one of the TOM FORD classics, this perfume was originally released in 2012 and then relaunched in 2023. It has a staying power of about 6 to 12 hours and is available at Harry Rosen.

Retailing at $310 (100 ml).

FASHION

Moncler Lunettes Collection

Elevate your eyewear game with Moncler sunglasses—a perfect fusion of luxury and everyday wearability. Featuring bold yet classic frames, the fall/winter 2024 Moncler Lunettes collection is a line of unisex sun and optical frames, defined by their unparalleled style and craftsmanship.

Crafted with Moncler’s signature attention to detail, these sunglasses exude a timeless appeal, making them a must-have accessory for those who appreciate refined aesthetics with a modern edge.

Beyond its striking design, this line offers superior functionality with high-quality lenses that provide full UV protection. Lightweight yet durable, they ensure all-day comfort, while enhancing your look with an air of understated elegance. Whether for a stylish getaway or an everyday essential, these sunglasses make for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift—a statement piece that’s both practical and undeniably chic.

Mountain-inspired mask silhouettes fuse alpine heritage with futurism, while timeless styles are refreshed in transparent acetate. Ultra-lightweight metal leads in confident style, as refined rimless and wire frames interpret the pilot style from a new angle. Meanwhile, minimalism collides with high style and performance, on sleek, streamlined shapes with rubber temples. Dynamic styles have dramatic curves, reminiscent of Moncler’s signature down-filled jackets in shades of red, off- white and black, while extreme wraparound shades set the tone for the season: one of exaggerated proportions.

Retailing between $415 and $750 per frame.

BEAUTY / SKINCARE

Shiseido Future Solution LX Intensive Firming Brilliance Serum

Shiseido’s Future Solution LX is a luxurious skincare line with formulations of the highest quality, and our top pick from this collection is the Future Solutions LX Intensive Firming Brilliance Serum.

This is a rich, dewy serum with firming benefits for a brighter complexion. It was inspired by Shiseido’s 40 years of genetic research, and transforms the face and neck areas by boosting firmness and resilience for a more defined, tightened look. One of its other strengths is its ability to increase skin’s clarity for a brighter complexion, which is a fantastic bonus during winter months. 

This serum is formulated with Shiseido’s exclusive LonGenevity Complex™ — powered by the newly-enhanced Enmei Herb, Vitamin C, Green Tea and Skingenecell 1P — a proprietary amino acid derivative. This powerful formula helps to improve skin barrier function, leaving skin more bright, plump and smooth. Yet another key benefit is the serum’s ability to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while providing 24-hour hydration.

Retailing at $430 (refills available at $387).

Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Watery Serum  

If you are looking for the ultimate deep repair of aging signs, then Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Watery Serum is a staple item that would make a fantastic gift. This product is a result of 15 years of research and relying on 9 patents and 9 publications. Guerlain is renowned for its use of honey and this is the new-generation serum. It draws its repairing power from three honeys produced by the black bee, a species selected for its rarity and the power of its honeys. 

Thanks to an exclusive partnership with Restore-EQ4, a research centre specialized in rejuvenation science, Guerlain research has demonstrated the exceptional efficacy of its 3 Black Bee honeys. Selected among 300 honey samples, they help to stimulate fundamental mechanisms implied in skin repair.

One of the main features of this serum is that it multiplies skin’s self-repair mechanisms. Deeply repaired, skin regains plumpness and radiance, while wrinkles are visibly filled. Light and universal, the exclusive formula is infused with melt-in micro-beads and contains 99% naturally-derived ingredients. 

The golden nature of the bottle makes this serum a must-have for any luxury-focused beauty routine.

Retailing at $205 (50 ml).

HOUSEHOLD & ELECTRONICS

Shark Cordless PowerDetect Clean & Empty System and FlexFusion Air & Ceramic System with Air Straightener

If you’re looking to gift something in the realm of electronics, we have two strong recommendations by Shark® that we know your Valentine will love.

If you’re looking for something for their home, make sure to check out the Shark® Cordless PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty System. This is the ultimate cordless solution for powerful, intelligent, whole-home deep cleaning. If you or your Valentine enjoy having a spotless space, then this item should definitely be on your gift list!

Cordless PowerDetect features an Auto-Empty dock that charges and empties your vacuum after every clean, reducing dust exposure by about 1,000 times more than traditional emptying. PowerDetect is also a standout because it delivers Shark’s most powerful cordless suction. While most vacuums push around debris with every back stroke, the redesigned DuoClean Detect™ nozzle eliminates this problem by capturing more dirt, dust and debris in both forward and reverse. Really cool, if you ask us! Just as impressive is PowerDetect’s 70 minutes of runtime, which is really handy if you don’t have time to wait for the vacuum to recharge. 

Our second choice from Shark can be more personalized or, again, can be a great gift for a household. Shark® FlexFusion™ Air & Ceramic System with Air Straightener is a luxury multi-styler with air straightening. One of its unique functionalities is that it’s built to style wet hair with no heat damage, but can also re-style dry hair without washing.

This set consists of many different parts and is truly the equivalent of having your own hair salon at home! It includes an Air & Ceramic Styling System, 1.25″ Auto-Wrap Curlers, a Styling Concentrator, a Wet or Dry Fusion Air Straightener, and a Wet or Dry Fusion Brush. Did someone say: date night? You’ll be ready in no time!

Retailing respectively at $699.99 and $499.99.

GIFT SETS

Fenty Eau de Parfum and Scented Ceramic Gift Set

We love a great gift set, and this year our choice goes to Rihanna’s latest creation. Fenty Eau de Parfum is the fragrance that defines confidence. This is a warm, sensual scent that’s truly one of a kind. It is presented in a cool and mysterious-looking gift set box, which is a limited edition, logo-engraved scented ceramic. It’s a cool combination that has beautiful packaging.

This perfume is effortlessly sexy. Just two to three sprays are enough to leave a lasting impression. The notes are intense yet perfectly balanced—comforting vegan musk meets the opulence of Bulgarian Rose Absolute, while the contrast of spicy patchouli and juicy tangerine creates a captivating duality. It’s a scent that commands attention without overpowering.

The blend of musk and magnolia evolves beautifully throughout the day, shifting with the skin’s chemistry to create something uniquely mine. It exudes a rich, mature allure—perhaps because it steers away from traditional sweetness, embracing a bold yet sophisticated character instead.

For this creation, Rihanna went all in with industry top perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud in the heart of Grasse, embracing timeless tradition and masterful techniques—but giving them a new school spin for a scent that’s unexpectedly eye-catching. And look out for a funky labyrinth-like cover that you will discover immediately upon opening the box: it’s unexpected and memorable!

Retailing at $220. 

ENTERTAINMENT

Lego Vincent van Gogh The Starry Night Set

Three years ago, in a tribute to Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting, the LEGO Group created the LEGO® Ideas The Starry Night set. This elaborate set was designed by Truman Cheng, a 20-something Hong Kong based LEGO fan, through a submission on the LEGO Ideas platform. It was created in conjunction with The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MOMA).

Recommended for ages 18 and up, this is truly a LEGO masterpiece. The three-dimensional set reimagines van Gogh’s renowned 1889 painting in LEGO form, with strong emphasis on the artist’s striking brush strokes and colour choice. Inspired by the view from his window at the Monastery of Saint-Paul de Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, France, where the artist spent 12 months, The Starry Night is one of the world’s most well-known post-impressionist works and has been a visitor favourite at MoMA since it first arrived in 1935.

Art lovers can swap paint palettes for LEGO bricks and re-create one of the world’s most recognizable masterpieces. From the twinkling stars and mesmerizing moon, to the sleeping Provence village below, van Gogh’s image has been brought spectacularly to life in brick, capturing the artist’s swirling brushstrokes.

With over 2,000 pieces to assemble, this beautiful and intricate set can serve as a lovely addition to any interior: be it your home, office or the cottage. Due to its size, assembling it will take time and would be a fabulous activity to do as a couple, a family or a group of friends. Whoever your Valentine is, they will really appreciate it!

Retailing at $219.99.
