There are just 3 days and counting until the infamous day of love but don’t panic if you’ve left it too late to order their favourite flowers or make a reservation at their choice restaurant, as there’s still plenty you can do to show your affection. Why not inject the most important meal of the day with some love? As Valentine’s falls on the day of rest this year, there’s no better opportunity to let your partner laze, whilst you whip up a hearty breakfast to be served in bed. Revamp a simple fried breakfast by cutting a heart out of a slice of bread and frying an egg in the middle. Complete by arranging some bacon rashers into heart shapes. For a sweeter start to the day, try your hand at some heart shaped red velvet pancakes and top with syrup and pecans.
If you’re stuck without a gift, forget the cuddly toys and chocolates and purchase your loved one an E-Gift Voucher, redeemable for an experience to remember. If they’re in need of relaxation, surprise them with a spa day or get the endorphins flying with a physical activity that you can participate in together, such as a sky dive or segway rally. The Cottonwood Boutique offers a range of E-Gift Vouchers sure to make anybody swoon this Valentine’s, from an Afternoon Tea with Fizz to a Romantic Escape. With prices starting from just £10.95, they make the perfect Valentine’s offering.
If you believe that love should be celebrated all year round and not just on Valentine’s Day, sign up your loved one to a subscription as a monthly reminder of your devotion. For book worms, The Willoughby Book Club offers a personalised book subscription. Pick the couples option and receive two of the same book for both of you to enjoy together every month. For foodies, countless food companies have cottoned onto this trend with Graze being one of the most prevalent, delivering delicious snacks straight to your doorstep on either a weekly or monthly basis. The same can be said for cosmetic companies, with many offering subscriptions to receive a box of beauty treats to unwrap every month. Glossybox’s elegant packages offer exceptional class and value.
