Emperor’s Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: Champagne for Every Kind of Love
Valentine’s Day gifts don’t have to be stressful — or predictable.
Whether you’re shopping for a situationship, a partner, a husband, a wife, your single friend or planning the ultimate Galentine’s celebration, champagne is the one gift that always works.
Welcome to Emperor’s Valentine’s Day Gift Guide — a curated edit designed to take the guesswork out of gifting and help you choose the perfect bottle for every relationship status.
Why Champagne Is the Ultimate Valentine’s Day Gift
Chocolate disappears. Flowers fade. Champagne? Champagne creates a moment.
A bottle of champagne is celebratory, generous and universally loved — whether you’re saying I adore you, I like you, or this is complicated but I brought bubbles anyway.
At Emperor, we believe there’s a champagne for every kind of love — romantic, platonic, self-directed or gloriously undefined.
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas, Sorted by Relationship Status
The Situationship
Not too much. Not too little. Just right.
The situationship gift is all about balance — something thoughtful, stylish and easy to enjoy without raising questions that don’t need answering.
This year, we’re pairing champagne with one very honest accessory: the Not Dating hat.
Think:
- A bottle of De Sousa Chemins Des Terriors they’ll happily drink
- The iconic Not Dating hat
Champagne says I like you. The hat says let’s not label this. Perfectly balanced.
The Partner
Equal parts romance, friendship and opening a second bottle.
For partners, Valentine’s Day is about shared moments — date nights, quiet evenings in, or celebrating simply because you’re together.
Think:
- Louis Roederer Vintage champagne
- Two of our unique and elegant Tulip Glassware
Together really is better — especially with bubbles.
The Husband
He says he doesn’t want anything. He’s lying.
The husband gift is practical, thoughtful and guaranteed to be enjoyed.
Think:
- A bottle of Bollinger Special Cuvée champagne
- A practical companion gift - like a insulated water bottle
You’ll drink the champagne together. Everyone wins.
The Wife
Luxury is not optional.
Valentine’s Day gifts for wives should feel indulgent, intentional and a little bit special — because she deserves it.
Think:
- A bottle of Frerejean Frerejean Frères NV Brut champagne
- Something chic (jewellery, a silk scarf or a beautiful candle)
Bonus points if she doesn’t have to share.
The Single Male Friend
Single. Unbothered. Thriving.
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples — and your single friends deserve celebrating too.
Think:
- A bottle of Pol Roger White Foil champagne
- A stylish accessory like a bluetooth speaker or leather keyring
Drinking Champagne for himself? King behaviour.
The Galentine's Friend
Reserved for best friends, bad dating stories and generous pours.
Galentine’s Day is about celebrating friendship — the people who show up, hype you up and always stay for one more glass.
Think:
- A bottle of Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé champagne
- A cosy candle
- An eye mask for the post-bubbles wind down
Romance is optional. Champagne is not.
