Love is priceless, but everyone loves receiving gifts, so follow through with The Peaks Valentines Day gift guide.

It’s that time of the year again when roses are sold out, chocolates are bought in the dozens and restaurants are nearly booked out. With Valentine’s Day popping up just after Chinese New Year, we understand that it may be a little harried to go about getting a last minute gift, so we at The Peak have compiled a list of gifts that will leave your partner swooning, and will allow you plenty of time to prepare for both the Chinese New Year and Valentines Day rush.

Cartier has always been proficient in the language of love, with their famous L⊝VE collection that has the world enamoured, meant to depict how strong and everlasting love can be. From rings and jewellery to watches and fragrances, Cartier has always been synonymous with that magical feeling of romantic ardour, so this Valentine’s Day, we’ve opted to go the Cartier way and showcase the many ways you can profess your love with a simple gift.

Just Say L⊝VE

Designed by Aldo Cipullo in 1969, the L⊝VE collection has grown to become one of the most iconic and successful collections for Cartier, with the series meant to embody eternal love. What once began as a sole bracelet, bloomed into an entire collection with cufflinks, watches and more. The renowned screwdriver motif plays a huge part in the series as the bracelet is meant to be opened with a specific screwdriver, to denote how love is a commitment. So why not go for a 10 Diamond 18K L⊝VE  bracelet in either white or yellow gold to gift to your partner, because diamonds are a woman’s best friend but gold can do no wrong. Not forgetting the man in your life, let him match you on nights out with a pair of L⊝VE  cufflinks, with the same screwdriver motif adorning the face of the cufflink, as you two paint the town red this 14th of February.

Keep the senses alive

A good fragrance lasts longer on the skin and smells good after a long day, but with fragrances from Cartier, they announce your presence to a room just by you entering it. Available both ‘for him’ and ‘for her’, you can opt between the garden of “ Carat Eau de Parfum”, created by renowned perfumer Mathilde Laurent that hosts an amalgamation of 7 delicate floral notes, some of which are tulips, lilies and narcissus. For the men, we have a delirious combination of fresh green citruses mixed with the heady scent of resin for a masculine scent that is as alluring as it is charismatic in its top and heart notes. Known as the “Pasha de Cartier Edition Noire”, a single spritz goes a long way with these fragrances.

Time after time

Functional, fashionable, and a favoured gift for Valentine’s day is to gift a watch to your significant other. With an array of stunning timepieces from the Cartier catalogue, sometimes it always works better to keep to the classics. For the lady who prefers a bit of glitter coiled around her wrist, the “Ballon de Cartier” watch in 18K pink gold would be ideal. A fun twist on the original design, the timepiece is set with a single solitaire diamond nestled into the curve of the dial, with golden-finished sword-shaped hands and a black alligator-skin strap, this watch is certainly a showstopper from the series. Or perhaps, the more iconic “Panthere de Cartier” series might be a favoured choice. With a streamlined look that brings back the fun of the 80’s in an sophisticated manner, and the legendary Cartier octagonal sapphire winding crown with roman numerals and screws that punctuate the bezel, this contemporary unisex watch is a work of art on any wrist it dons.
