Valentine’s Day; The Well Edit Way
An edit of thoughtful gifts for connection, ritual and modern romance, whatever your romantic status says.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t need grand gestures or performative romance. The most meaningful gifts tend to be quieter. Slower. Chosen with intention.
We asked The Well Edit Contributors what they love on Valentines Day and this edit leans into intimacy in the broadest sense: conversation, scent, objects, moments, memories, rituals. Gifts that say I see you.
For Conversation & Connection
Intelligent Change - Get Closer Collection
Not a game so much as an invitation.
The Get Closer series uses beautifully considered prompts to open conversations that don’t usually find space in busy lives. The Couples Edition focuses on shared dreams, memories and meaning. The Intimacy Edition gently reframes conversations around sex, desire and closeness. The original deck works just as well for friendships and new connections, a go to for first dates and galentine giggles
For Pieces That Feel Good to Wear
Molly Olivia - The Cluster Tennis Ring
Monica Vinader - Infinity Pendant
For Rest as a Love Language
The Francis Hotel & Spa
Opening March 2026, The Francis Spa arrives in Bath with a deeply considered approach to restoration. A future-forward gift rooted in the city’s long history of healing.
Unplugged
A deliberate pause from the noise. Unplugged cabins are designed for reconnection: with your partner, yourself, or simply silence. - Read Eleanor’s review
For At-Home Radiance Rituals & Recovery
BON CHARGE Red Light Therapy. Self-care that fits into real life, not a fantasy routine.
The Red Light Face Mask offers a manageable, consistent way to support skin health and glow, it’s the gift you’ll give, but want to steal every evening.
The Red Light Therapy Blanket is comfort, warmth and recovery wrapped into one. A cocooning ritual you’ll actually return to. Split into two and make it a duo ritual too.
For Chocolate, Done Properly
Where pleasure meets nourishment.
Cosmic Dealer, Loco Love and Booja-Booja all approach sweetness with intention. Booja-Booja’s gourmet selection, in particular, is made for lingering. Each truffle is a small, beautiful moment (and one of Eleanor’s favorites).
Eleanor’s top picks:
Sexual Wellness, Rewritten
Intimacy understood as emotional, physical and intelligent. Founded by Lauren Short in response to outdated, microbiome-disruptive formulations, Ples’Jour combines safety, science and elegance. In a ceramic bottle designed to be left out rather than hidden.
Australian Bush Flower Essences - Sexuality Essence
A gentle energetic support for sensuality, playfulness and emotional fulfilment.
Where sexual wellness meets education. Normalising pleasure and pelvic health through thoughtfully designed products, supported by clinical expertise from pelvic floor physiotherapist Edel McCann of Leto London.
At The Well Edit, this kind of integration matters. Intimacy deserves the same clinical credibility, care and nuance we expect in every other area of wellbeing.
Ape Nutrition – Celtic Oyster Supplement
Sexual wellness isn’t just topical or psychological, it’s biochemical. Traditionally regarded as a natural aphrodisiac, oysters are associated with vitality, libido and reproductive health, with thanks to their high zinc content. A reminder that intimacy is as much about nourishment as it is about connection.
Scent, Memory & Atmosphere
Scent has a way of bypassing logic entirely and is kind on the skin and body.
From Anima Mundi’s Open Heart Rose Powder to Vyrao’s Ludatrix, Maison Noir’s RosaEterna 163 and Moods’ Frisky & Charisma Roller Ball, these are fragrances designed to be worn close.
Add Nyita’s Velvet Nuit for evenings that unfold slowly, they’re organic and soft on skin, formulated with intention and thought. With notes of dusk and rose for a soft but sensual aroma.
For Slow Mornings & Soft Evenings
A shared home is built from small rituals.
Fellow Matcha Set
For mornings that start slowly. Thoughtfully designed tools that turn making matcha into a moment of presence rather than another task, whilst beautifully balancing your kitchen counter.Nudea Sleepwear

A small elevation to the design that makes the perfect pitcher for shared coffees, late-night teas and ceremonial cacaos and romantic rituals.
The Gift That Keeps Arriving
Freddie’s Flowers Subscription
Flowers are lovely. Flowers arriving again and again are something else entirely. A recurring reminder that you’re thought of, remembered, loved. A ritual that outlasts the day itself.
“I started buying myself flowers when I lived on my own once and the ritual stuck. Now I have a Freddie’s Flowers Subscription and it’s always a beautiful surprise, every other Friday when they arrive. I genuinely reach a flow state when I’m arranging them in the vase.”
