Last minute Valentine’s gift guide
Roses are red, violets are blue… it’s nearly Valentine’s Day, but don’t worry, we’ve got you. Caught off-guard this year? Still haven’t found the perfect present? Take a look at our suggestions and maybe you’ll find just what you’re looking for.
Jewellery
When it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts, there’s nothing wrong with keeping it traditional. LA Jewellery’s Recycled Brass Love Necklace has a classic, elegant design that’s sure to hit the right note with your loved one – and with both product and packaging being made of recycled materials, you can feel good about what you’re buying.
Chocolate
Chocolate is another perennial favourite, and we’ve got plenty of ethical options there too. Tony’s Chocolonely combine rich, creamy chocolate – in varieties like milk caramel biscuit and white chocolate and raspberry with popping candy – with an unwavering commitment to fair trade and ending slavery in the cocoa industry.
If you want something a little fancier, Beechs Luxury Chocolate Hearts are great for sharing. Booja Booja Almond Salted Caramel Truffles are equally delicious, and come in gorgeous boxes to make the moment even more special.
Pampering
Preparing a hot and luxurious bath for your partner is a great way to show how much you care about their wellbeing. Throw in a Honeystreet Handmade Heart Bath Bomb, infused with fragrant essential oils, for an instant burst of deliciously calming scent. For an extra touch of romance, try turning the lights down and placing a few Madurai Jasmine scented tealight candles around the room.
Something different
How about a gift that’s a bit more offbeat? Maybe there’s someone in your life who’d appreciate Free the Tipple (a book of cocktail recipes inspired by famous women), or who’d have a use for Fair Squared Coffee Shaving Soap – no one knows them better than you. Maybe what they want most of all on Valentine’s Day is to Adopt an Elephant. It’s not the typical present, but it might just be the perfect one.
