7. Pass It On Amazon Candle
It’s Valentine’s Day after all, so you know I just had to add a candle in. This candle from Pass It On, with its natural fruity scent, will fill their home with a sense of comfort and relaxation. The simple design of the candle will complement any interior, making it a versatile gift that they’ll appreciate and enjoy. It’s also a great gift for those who value sustainability, as every purchase of a Pass It On product will include a donation to be made to plant trees.

The No. 19 Patchouli Sweetgrass Soy Candle from P.F. Candle Co is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for the scent-savvy individual in your life. This candle features a blend of warm patchouli and sweetgrass, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere in any room. Made with soy wax and essential oils, this candle burns cleanly and provides hours of aromatic bliss. And even if you can’t bear to use it, it’s simple design means that it will be a great addition to your shelf decor.
10. Sabre Bistrot Vintage Soup Spoon And Fork
If your interior obsessed other half has a passion for all things vintage, then the Bistrot Vintage Soup Spoon (and dinner fork) is the perfect gift for them. I do really like that beautiful nude-pink color, and it’s in a unique shade that you won’t be able to find in many other places.
