10 Self-Care Treats For Valentine’s Day

Chosen as the SheerLuxe January Book Club pick, Heart The Lover is one of those books that stays with you. Set on a New England university campus in the 1980s, it centres on a close friendship group, a relationship that doesn’t end cleanly and how early emotional bonds often resurface years later. What Lily King does so well is capture the messy middle ground of love – not the big declarations, but the quieter moments – old conversations replayed in your head, the pull of someone who once felt central to your life, and the realisation that timing can matter as much as feeling. It’s reflective without being heavy, warm without being sentimental, and the perfect Valentine’s read.

We all know music can change your mood – but Sollos takes that idea one step further. Created by Universal Music Group, it’s an audio wellness platform built on the science of how sound affects the brain, using familiar tracks from artists like Ariana Grande, Olivia Dean and Shawn Mendes to help you feel calmer, clearer and more emotionally steady. Instead of leaning into sad-song spirals or background noise this Valentine’s Day, its playlists are designed to subtly lift your mood, help you process emotions, soften stress and feel more grounded. There’s clever science happening in the background – subtle sound frequencies are layered into the music to support calm and focus – but as a listener, all you notice is music that lands differently. It’s comforting, mood-enhancing and surprisingly addictive.

Sitre approaches intimacy the way modern skincare brands approach skin – thoughtfully, transparently and with real attention to ingredients. Founded in Denmark, the brand was created by two friends in response to how clinical or over-sexed intimacy products can feel, reframing sexual wellness as something that belongs naturally within everyday self-care. The Pleasure Boost Oil – a silky, plant-based formula infused with CBD – is a bestseller, designed to relax the body and enhance sensation, whether used for massage, foreplay or simply slowing things down. Pair it with Pillow Haze, a massage candle that melts into warm oil, blending shea butter and botanical oils with a subtle, grounding scent that shifts the mood before touch even begins.

If Valentine’s Day is about paying attention to what – and who – really matters, a beautiful journal is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Designed in California, Wilde House Paper’s journals are built around the simple but transformative ritual of putting pen to paper. The Pieces Of You Journal, with its structured prompts that guide six weeks of reflection on themes such as connection and self-awareness, is an ideal starting point. The Open Journals – available in grounded hues such as espresso, moss and cloud – are less prescriptive, leaving space for whatever form your reflection takes. For those who want guidance, purchasing any Open Journal unlocks complimentary access to a digital library of seasonally refreshed, seven-day journalling courses designed to help you navigate stress, explore gratitude, tune in to desire or cultivate in-the-moment presence.
