We are just not one of those couples who celebrate Valentine's Day. I think it might be my turn to cook up a bit of a special meal and I'm sure we'll exchange cards but as far as gifts go I can only dream. Not that I'm complaining. I get spoilt at Christmas, birthdays and our anniversary so I'm happy to let Valentine's Day slip past almost unnoticed. If we were that kind of couple, here's what I'd be hoping for.
01: Candles are probably a really boring choice for a lot of people. I, on the other hand, cannot get enough and I currently have one on the go every evening at home. Lily Flame Candle, £15
02: I am the queen of list making. Seriously. It's such a running joke between me and my boyfriend that this would be the most perfect gift he could buy me.
03: These Pink Champagne Truffles (£9.75) are to die for. Taste so good.
04: I'm getting quite the collection of novelty mugs. This one (£19.95) by Emma Bridgewater is so sweet and I'd really love to drink my morning coffee from it.
05: A fancy schmancy watch. Ok, clearly this is a dreamy wish list. If you have a massive pot of money (lucky you) I think Frederique Constant watches are quite understated and cool (although really rather pricey! see here). A vintage Rolex would be nice too. I do intend to buy a watch this year (# it's on my 2013 to do list) so I'm busy investigating my options!
06: I'm such a fan of quirky and original artwork. I just wish we had more space at home as our walls are pretty much full up! Wouldn't this (£65) make the loveliest Valentine's Day gift?
p.s there's still time to make a batch of my Lazy Girl's Red Velvet Cupcakes to give to your chap tomorrow! I'm making some more this evening :)
Such cute gift ideas! I can see why you don't need to celebrate Valentines day in a huge way :)

We're not that kind of couple either, we exchange cards and that's about it! The Emma Bridgewater mugs are fab, I have two of them and infact I am drinking my tea from one of them now :)

I love those Lily Flame Candles! Bluebell Forest and the Palma Violet scent (I forget what it's called!) are my absolute faves. We're the same when it comes to V-day, we make an effort to make each other something yummy but that's about it :) L x

You could certainly see your enthusiasm within the work you write.
ReplyDeleteThe world hopes for even more passionate
writers such as you who are not afraid to say
how they believe. All the time follow your heart.
Have a look at my web-site ... bpw
I use a pen with the same Emma Bridgewater print, and it really does make me feel happier writing with it :) gives me something pretty to look at when I'm doing uni work!! haha I am a stationary geek though. I love the Listography books, my sister has one and it's such a lovely idea and a great thing to look back on xx
ReplyDeleteI've been leaving huge hints to my boyfriend about those truffles. I've never tried them but have been told how nice they are and I'm intrigued! We don't make a big deal over Valentine's Day - we're just staying in with a pizza this year - but it is nice to exchange cute little gifts [cupcakes for him!] and cards :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love the Blush candle my boyf got me one for my birthday it's awesome! Happy Valentines lover! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's to you too! xo
DeleteNicely picked. I love the Emma Bridgewater hearts range, at the moment I just have a tea tin! The candle Blush is one of the loveliest smelling from the Lilyflames, I love it. And the champagne truffles look so decadent. I hope you get surprised with one of these!

What a coincidence. I was just thinking the other day, I would like to get myself a nice watch this year. You know, one that I can keep for a lifetime and maybe pass it on to my future daughter.
ReplyDeleteFrederique Constant is on my list too! :)
That candle is so cute! Everything sounds so great!
ReplyDeletePink champagne truffles? Yes please x

I would be won over by anyone who bought me pink champagne truffles and a Lily-Flame candle! Me and my other half don't really celebrate Valentine's Day either, I think couples should be kind and thoughtful to each other all year round! :) xo
