Amara Living Valentines Gift Ideas

Valentines Day is almost here and to me it is a time to treat your loved ones, personalised gifts say so much and they are more special too although luxury gifts would be perfect for valentines day as well. Luxury items are usually products that people don't want to buy for themselves as they are a special treat so valentines day is the time to treat your partner, friends or family.

There are two brands that I personally have wanted to try for so long but they are also luxury brands so I'm always hesitant to spend the money on treats for myself. I was SO excited when this package arrived from the lovely people at Amara! The package from Amara came quickly, well padded and beautifully presented.

- *Neom Tranquility English Lavender, Sweet Basil & Jasmine Travel Candle (£16, 75g): Neom is an almost cult brand in the beauty and blogging world, everyone raves about their products, especially the candles. I chose this scent as I adore lavender and it doesn't disappoint - the candle smells incredible! It is floral, calming and relaxing, it would be the perfect candle to use on a pamper night. The candle feels like such a luxury item, not just because of the wonderful scent and packaging but the container is made from frosted glass. All Neom products come beautifully packaged and designed so they would make gorgeous gifts for anyone!

- Kate Spade New York Spiral Notebook - So Well Composed (£16): Kate Spade is another cult and much coveted brand in the blogging world, anything from Kate Spade is minimal, high quality and beautifully designed. I have a Kate Spade necklace and it's gorgeous! I chose this notebook as I think luxury or more high quality stationery isn't something most people would buy for themselves so it would be a lovely, luxury and practical gift.

I'm a bit of a candle and stationery addict *as most bloggers are* so both of these gifts would be absolutely perfect for me! Kate Spade and Neom are such famous and high end brands, I think they would make perfect gifts for valentines day. Here are some of my other valentines day gift picks from Amara:

International sleep week wish list

From the 2nd March to the 9th March it is international sleep week and as I really have problems trying to sleep I thought now would be a perfect time to create a sleep products wish list from some of my favourite online stores. This is not a sponsored post. In my opinion all of these products would make great mothers day gifts too!

 1. Molton Brown Relaxing Yuan Zhi Room Spray (£22, 100ml): I love room sprays and scented candles, I find them really relaxing. I haven't tried Molton Brown products before but I have heard so many good things about the brand/products. This room spray contains: ylang ylang, ginger and amber among other notes, it sounds gorgeous.

2. SpaceNK Life Drift Away Body Lotion (£15, 250ml): I had a couple of samples of this body lotion last year and it was the dreamiest body lotion scent ever. It smells so relaxing and very unique. It is quite expensive but I am seriously considering buying it!

3. This Works Baby Sleep Pillow Spray (£16, 75ml): I have tried the avon sleep spray and it worked fairly well, I would definitely like to try more pillow sprays. This one is specifically designed for babies but it says that it is effective on adults. It is a bestseller on bathandunwind.com.

4. Whittards Dreamtime Hot Chocolate (£5.50, 375g): Is there anything nicer, especially at this time of the year, than a mug of creamy hot chocolate - this one from Whittards contains additional ingredients of malt extract, camomile and honey, for a better nights sleep.

5. Aromatherapy Associates Deep Relax Bath Oil (£39, 55ml): I have a few mini sample bottles of the Aromatherapy Associates bath oils and they smell gorgeous, I am going to be using them soon to see if they help. They always have really positive reviews so I am sure they will be fantastic for helping me drifting off naturally. 

6. Neom Candles (£15-£39.50): Neom candles are very famous in the blogging world, most people have them or are lusting after them. They look and sound delicious and very luxe. The 'relax' and 'serenity' scents sound great for relaxing. 

7. This Works Dream Believers Set (£10, sale): This duo set is currently on sale at SpaceNK, I have added it to my basket and I may get it. The RRP is £20 and it looks like a great set, it contains the 'dream cream' and 'sleep balm'. It would make a great mothers day gift set too. 

There are my wish list picks for relaxing and hopefully a better nights sleep, if you have any relaxation tips or top products leave a comment below. What is on your sleep week wish list?
