What to give for Valentine’s Day 2026 if you haven’t thought about it yet: last-minute ideas
Eye Patches by nss Edicola
The eye patches are the newest addition to the J’Adore Napoli collection by nss Edicola, and yes, we want them all. They’re simply a must for any girly skincare routine, and not just for girls: reusable, Instagram-worthy, and applied over the eye contour to boost effectiveness and help the treatment do its job. After use, wash them, put them back in their box, and they’re ready to go again for the next round.
À la Reine des Fleurs Candle by Perfumology
The À la Reine des Fleurs candle by Perfumology is the perfect gift for coquette girls obsessed with Sofia Coppola. Inspired by the iconic eau de cologne of Marie Antoinette, this candle transforms any room into a mini Versailles. Top notes are petitgrain and verbena; the aromatic heart features lavandin, rosemary, and thyme; and the warm, enveloping base includes ambrox and musk.
Scent Experience by Kiton
The Scent Experience by Kiton is not your typical perfume set. It’s a true sensory journey. Inside, you’ll find seven 15 ml creations that explore nature, culture, and spirituality, each with a distinct and well-defined personality. Perfect if you want to be someone different every day: basically, a miniature olfactory wardrobe.
The Scent by Hemp Care
The Scent is the unisex fragrance from Hemp Care’s new CBD Supreme line, a true journey into nature. Fresh yet enveloping, it blends the green notes of hemp leaves with floral hints of white rose and jasmine, anchored by a warm and deep heart of vetiver and precious woods. In short: a versatile scent that can take you from the office to an elegant dinner, perfect for any occasion.
Vera Lab Limited Editions
For Valentine’s Day, Vera Lab offers two irresistible limited editions. Kiss Crush is the lip duo everyone dreams of for its convenience: a heart-shaped pencil on one end and a lip gloss on the other, available in three shades. Then there’s I Mousse You, a vanilla body mousse with a super-soft pink texture that leaves the skin nourished, soft, and never greasy, enriched with jojoba oil for hydration and aloe vera to soothe.
