The holiday season is barely over and before you know it, Valentine’s Day looms. It’s another time for gifting and deciding what to buy your loved one. While flowers, chocolates, and scent are an easy buy, a personal gift that's as beautiful as it is useful will undoubtedly earn you extra brownie points.

To help you impress the cookware enthusiast in your life, Le Creuset has launched its ever-popular Valentine’s Day Collection. All designed to inspire the passionate baker or creative cook in your life, the cookware range caters to every pocket, from $15 for a spatula and rising to over $200 for one of its iconic dutch ovens.

Le Creuset also makes some of the best cast iron skillets on the market, and I can just see myself making some show-stopping heart-shaped pancakes on February 14th in its cerise skillet.

Cookware from a much-loved brand

When I think of Le Creuset, it brings to mind a company with a solid reputation and products that will last. So, although Le Creuset’s cookware can be on the pricey side, you’re buying a well-designed product from a much-loved brand.

Gifting cookware for Valentine’s Day may not seem romantic, but if your loved one enjoys spending time in the kitchen and is a Le Creuset fan, it will be a way to their heart. The new collection features heart-themed mugs, serving platters, bowls, a wooden trivet, and a whole host more.

I've selected a few products from the collection to suit every budget when buying a gift for your loved one this Valentine's Day.
