Hello!! I’m embarrassed to admit how long it’s been since I last wrote a blog piece…..well I suppose you could just look at the date on the last blog!! But what better way to get back into it than with a lovely, cute Valentine’s gift ideas blog.
How do you feel about Valentine’s Day? Personally, I think it’s a lovely opportunity to share some love (not that we need an excuse!), but with that being said I’m definitely not for over the top, expensive gifts. I think a small, low cost minding is more than enough to show someone you care.
I’ve put together a few ideas from fellow small businesses that are all £10 or under to make your Valentine’s shopping a little easier.
Love Heart Felt Banner - £10 – Forged in Fables
How cute is this? This little heart banner is perfect for popping on a peg rail, hanging from a shelf or a picture hook on the wall. Each banner is individually handmade by Stef in her home studio in Stoke-on-Trent using vegan friendly felt. This is ideal whether you’re buying for an adult or if you gift a little something to your child on Valentine’s Day.
2. You’re My Lobster Card £3.50 – Bamber Prints
I can’t resist a Friends reference so I LOVE this card. Printed in the UK on recycled card, Catherine draws all the designs for Bamber Prints in her signature style of lots of tiny black dots from her home in Surrey.
3. Rhubarb & Ginger Gin Fizz Cocktail - £5.50 – MYXD Cocktails
Because really, who wouldn’t be blooming delighted to receive a ready to pour, top notch cocktail to enjoy on Valentine’s evening?! MYXD, based in the Scottish Highlands, was started by Grant Murray back in lockdown to deliver top quality cocktails via mail order.
We’re actually exhibiting next to MYXD at the Scottish Speciality Food Show at the end of January and to say I’m excited would be an understatement!!
4. Valentine’s Pick n Mix Box - £9.00 – The Sweetie Jar (me!)
Of course we can’t have a Valentine’s Day gift list without some sweets on it!! A cute & tasty assortment of goodies that makes the perfect gift for your special someone or a sweet treat for yourself this Valentine's Day.
5. Love Keepsake Wallet Card - £10 – Martha Brook
A thoughtful gift that your loved one can keep with them at all times as a reminder of how loved they are. You can choose your own personalised message, which can be embossed in either silver, copper or gold. A little token that can be treasured for years to come.
6. Personalised Leather Bookmark - £9.90 – Lucian Leather Goods
As a self-confessed book addict, this gift would be right up my street! Handmade from full grain, high quality leather in the UK, you can choose a range of leather and embossing colours to suit your recipient perfectly.
7. Spread the Love Valentine’s Card - £2.95 – Doodling Lucy
Taken from Lucy's handpainted, original watercolour illustration this card is perfect for all farming/tractor lovers. And if you don’t want to discard it after Valentine’s Day how about using Lucy’s idea and popping it into a frame to make a mini print.
8. Box of Roses Soaps – £10 - Siabann Eisdeal
These are almost too beautiful to use! In this gift box you will receive 6 rose shaped soaps in a strawberry and lily fragrance. I came across Beth’s lovely small business just before Christmas and I’m so delighted I did. Her soaps are like mini works of art and make such beautiful gifts at an amazing price point.
