Just because you might not have a significant other to spoil you this Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself!

While your loved-up friends are spending February 14 at corny, over-priced dinners or in move theatres packed with couples, take some time to enjoy a little self-care.

From lamington-scented candles to 1500 thread-count sheets, we’ve made a gift guide that will guarantee you won’t have relationship FOMO on Valentine’s Day this year.

Here’s an idea to treat yourself on an otherwise isolating day – make yourself breakfast in bed!

Candles

You could buy yourself a bouquet of flowers that will eventually wilt, or you could spoil yourself with a stunning candle and set the mood for curling up on the couch and watching your favourite rom-com.

This candle is Glasshouse’s newest dessert-influenced delight inspired by one of the nation’s most beloved tea-time treats – lamingtons!
