Darjeeling Gourmet Tea

If your Valentine's a tea lover or fancies himself as a connoisseur, he'll love Newby's Prime Darjeeling.

A tribute to Russia, Giorgio Armani Privé's Vert Malachite is a singular fragrance for men. Part of the design house's La Collection des Terres Précieuses and named after the legendary malachite stone, this cologne delivers notes of bitter orange and pink pepper for a truly unique scent. Malachite is at the heart of many Russian legends, and is believed to protect men from the blows of fate, a worthy Valentine's day gift, if your sweetheart's an adventurer.

Paul Smith Bi-Fold Wallet

Finished in a pop-bright shade of green, this soft leather wallet from Paul Smith is a great example of the Great British fashion label's playful aesthetic.

Complete with a storage bag and gift box, remember to hide a coin inside for good luck before you say 'I love you'.
