Why This Valentine's Night-In Gift for Her Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a Valentine's gift that feels thoughtful rather than predictable — is the Unique Valentine's Day Gifts set a good choice?
Yes, it's a thoughtful alternative to chocolates or roses. It sets up a cosy night in: a lavender soy candle, a handmade lavender soap, lavender chamomile tea, a sleep balm and a lavender sachet, plus a dried flower and bookmark. It says 'slow down together', and all the lavender in it comes from our farm.
What makes the Unique Valentine's Day Gifts different from other lavender gift sets?
All the lavender in this Valentine's set comes from our own family farm in Newstead, Waikato. The soy candle is scented only with our essential oil, never fragrance oil, and the tea is blended with 'Pacific Blue', a culinary English lavender we grow.
What occasions suit this lavender Valentine's gift set?
Besides Valentine's Day, it suits anniversaries, birthdays, a self-care treat for a partner, or a just-because surprise for someone you love.
Does this gift set arrive ready to give?
Yes — it arrives gift-boxed, ready to send straight to the recipient: just enter their address as the shipping address. To include a personal message, add one of our greeting cards to your order and write your message in the Gift message or special instructions box in your cart — we'll handwrite it on the card. Receipts are emailed to you, so no price or invoice goes in the parcel.
How do we use this lavender Valentine's gift set for a relaxing evening?
Light the candle and brew two cups of lavender chamomile tea. Wash with the handmade soap, and before bed rub a little sleep balm onto the temples or pulse points. Tuck the sachet into a pillowcase. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Does this lavender Valentine's gift set contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The handmade Lavender Artisan Soap contains sweet almond oil and coconut oil, and the Lavender Sleep Balm contains beeswax and coconut oil. The tea contains chamomile. None of the items contain milk. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift set come from?
All of it comes from our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, where we've grown lavender since 2014. The candle, soap and sleep balm are made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil that we grow and steam-distil ourselves, the tea is blended with our culinary English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia 'Pacific Blue'), and the sachet and dried flower come from the same fields.
How long does delivery take within New Zealand for this gift set?
We send every order by tracked courier, with no signature needed. We aim to deliver within 3–5 working days in the North Island and 5–7 working days in the South Island and rural areas, and orders placed on a weekend or public holiday are sent the next business day.
Can I order this lavender Valentine's gift set from overseas for someone in New Zealand?
Yes. You can order the Unique Valentine's Day Gifts from anywhere in the world and we'll deliver it to any address in New Zealand — just enter the recipient's NZ address at checkout. We only deliver within New Zealand, so it can't be sent to an address overseas.
