Valentine Gifts

I recently received an email from a GiftChooser follower who was on the hunt for a fabulous gift idea for his wife’s birthday.

Fed up with buying the usual restaurant meals, flowers, chocolates etc… he wanted more of an unusual gift.

Welcome to the first of our regular gift roundups. We’ll be pointing you to useful gift-related articles to help you choose the ideal presents for your friends and family.

As Christmas becomes a distant memory and the snow starts to melt away, our thoughts turn to Valentine’s Day. A chance to melt your partners heart (and not the cold, white stuff clogging up your drive).

Yes, 14th February is fast approaching and there’s no time to lose when choosing and buying your Valentine gift to make the perfect impression.

These beautiful and unusual sculptures make fantastic presents for all occasions, but this Lovers Knot is particularly appropriate for Valentine’s Day or as a Wedding Gift. Remember there is only 5 days to go until Valentine’s Day.

This Love Knot sculpture features a series of entwining knots – just like the celtic knot – these knots are a symbol of love everlasting. Each piece of soap stone varies in its marbling and colour and with each ornament being hand carved – no machines involved – every creation is unique.

Gifts 2 Drink

Gifts to Drink has been around since 2000, and after being the first online shop to offer ’gifts to drink’, it is still going strong and they offer great gift sets and hampers to buy for all those special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s day and wedding days.

For anything that calls for a celebration, send a ’message and a bottle’.

The Beauty Room

Some may claim that Valentine’s Day is becoming ever more commercial. Personally, I think it is nice to have one day in a year where people are reminded to celebrate the loved one in their life. Otherwise we could start taking each other for granted.

Come Valentine’s Day there are plenty of great offers and discount voucher codes that could save you money. The Beauty Room has a fabulous selection of body treats and bathtime goodies for the ultimate in pampering and indulgence.

All orders over £50 get free delivery which is always a bonus.

Marks and Spencer

Everyone has heard of Marks and Spencer, affectionately known as M&S. They are everyone’s favourite high street store from food lovers, busy mums, business execs and grannies alike. They have a discount voucher code that is valid on all online orders.

In fact it’s a perfect one stop shop in order to get kitted out ready for St Valentine’s Day on February 14th as there isn’t long to go!

Isn’t it funny how St Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th February every year! It is traditional for this time of year to show your complete and undying devotion to your partner.

Whether it be your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or other (well some people really love their pets!) it is nice to show your love for one another by giving them a token and expecting one back in return. Note to boyfriends: cards are just cards – they do not count as presents.

It can be tricky selecting a suitable gift for your Valentine, well GiftChooser is here to help guide you through, with our list of Top 10 Valentine’s Gift ideas.

£39.95 at PrezzyBox

The iWallet has spoken. It jumped out at me and said ’I am the perfect Valentine’s Gift Idea for those who have to buy for the man who has everything’, and I have to agree with him.

This wallet is practical, stylish and yet can be personalised enough to make it a special Valentine’s Day gift for your man.

Despite the slightly dodgy spelling of this game, Nookii is actually a really fun and sensuous game for you to play with your partner in the comfort of your own boudoir. It’s not just for Valentine’s Day though, this game can be used over and over again for years to come.

It’s so popular, even the Daily Mail newspaper awarded it number one in their recent Adult Games Awards. It just shows you’re never too old to enjoy a bit of Nookii!

£10.99 at SandEdge

I have been pointed to a fantastic little site called SandEdge.com run by a couple based in Suffolk.

I particularly love these Limited Edition Valentine Chalkboards in the shape of a heart. This Valentine’s don’t say it with flowers, say it with your heart!

Chococo

I know chocolate sounds like such a predictable gift to give someone on St Valentine’s Day, but really, you haven’t tried chocolate until you’ve tried Chococo chocolate.  It really is delicious, handmade with real dorset cream, fairtrade sourced cocoa beans and no preservatives.

So freshly made with real ingredients that they have a 2 week ’eat by’ date on them. Not that there will be any left after 2 weeks!
