Sally Williams Belgian Chocolate Slabs (R44.99)
Nothing says; “I’ve been thinking of you”, like a Sally Williams Dark Chocolate Slab. Delectable Belgian dark chocolate slabs with roasted nougat pieces.

Moroccanoil Body Pure Argan Oil (R947)
Experience a head-to-toe indulgence. Moroccanoil Body Pure Argan Oil envelops skin, nails and hair with the nourishing properties of 100% pure argan oil.

It glides on like silk and absorbs quickly for a head-to-toe moisturising and pampering experience.
Foothills Monogram MCC (R200)
If bubbly is your wine of choice to woo that someone special this Valentine’s Day then the 2019 Monogram Collection Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) from Foothills Vineyards is the perfect choice. According to winemaker Bennie Booysen the MCC, which is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, is a beautiful pale gold hue, with very fine bubbles. In keeping with the style of a boutique wine estate, only 1 600 bottles of this vintage have been made, and at a cost of only R200 per bottle, is guaranteed to sell out quickly.
