Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

Whether Valentine’s Day is your cup of tea or not,  I’m all for celebrating L-O-V-E with a night cuddled up on the sofa watching movies and sharing a bottle of Prosecco. Any excuse right? Receiving a gift as part of that celebration is only a bonus but that’s where the day gets its poor reputation. A gift needn’t be expensive (where’s the romance in that?), just thoughtful – a compilation CD always works a treat for me or a simple card with a sentimental message can be priceless. Nevertheless, there are great gifts out there that can simply convey how much you care. Take a look below for gift inspiration that should gladden any heart (and any budget). No red roses in sight, I promise.

Under £10: You Are My Cup Of Tea Mug, Bread and Jam via Not On The High Street, £8 // Valentine’s Macaroon Gift Box, Bettys, £7.95

Say it with a cuppa and make him breakfast in bed including a freshly brewed cup of tea in his new favourite You Are My Cup Of Tea mug. For the lady, here is a welcome alternative to a box of heart-shaped chocolates (not that I’d turn my nose up at them!). The luxurious Chocolate and Raspberry Macaroons will make an ideal gift for your sweet-toothed sweetheart.

Under £30: Heart Hot Pink Tote Bag, Alphabet Bags, £12 // Dickens Washbag, Graham & Green, £25

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Alphabet Bags are offering 20% off all their cotton totes including this chic Heart Hot Pink tote bag – a daily reminder of your affection when she pops to the shops! For the gentleman with a taste for the traditional, the Dickens Washbag will make a romantic weekend for two complete.

Under £50: New York Mini Collection, Biscuiteers, £30 // Rules To Love By Screen Print, More Than Words via Not On The High Street, £40

Not just a tin of biscuits. The New York  Mini Collection will impress the man in your life with a New York state of mind and a taste for travel. Or how about this Rules To Love By screen print? Anything reminding you to cuddle and stick together is a plus in my eyes.

Whatever you have planned, single or coupled-up, what’s your take on February 14th?
