Valentine's Gift Guide: Girls

I am a hopeless romantic, and I love Valentine’s Day.
Yes I know, it’s just a huge commercial trick to ply you in to spending more money just as you are rising out of your post Christmas recession.

But now that you mention it, why not let the person you love know how you feel.

It would be mean not to!

This is a gift guide for girls, but there’s no need to stop at your girlfriend. I know I’ll be getting something for my absolute bestie.

Valentines gifts do not need to be expensive either, I like to think that in this guide there’s something for everyone, no matter what stage your relationship is at.

Retails at £11 each. (Although bargains can be found on Ebay)

2. Rimmel's new Apocalips collection has had nothing but rave reviews. If your gal is a beauty buff, she'll adore these.
