Little Tokens of Love - A Valentines Gift Guide

Feb 9

I used to feel a bit bleh about Valentine’s Day.

“Why do we need one specific day to celebrate love?” I’d say.
“Surely it’s something we should be doing all the time — without all the fuss and commercialism.”

And of course, that’s still true.

But somewhere along the way, I softened.

Because why not celebrate love on Valentine’s Day? We celebrate birthdays, seasons, traditions, small milestones… so why not this too? A little nudge in the middle of winter to pause, notice, and make something feel slightly special.

We don’t go wild over here. It’s usually something simple, a bottle of fizz with supper, cooking something delicious, possibly heart shaped. We'll set the table a little more thoughtfully than usual. Snow drops, candles, proper napkins.

Sometimes we skip gifts altogether. Other years, it’s a small token, or something we both get to enjoy for the home/garden. New bedding that makes our room feel like a hotel, fluffy robes, rose scented candles. This year we treated ourselves to the coffee machine on this list. I still need to get something small and quirky for the boys and thought the red roses lego could be a fun gift.

But always cards. I love writing in cards. It feels like a rare, uninterrupted moment to say the things that we don't always get around to every day. A chance to remind our partner, children, or friends just how deeply loved they are.

So, if you’re feeling in the mood for a few Valentine’s treats, here’s a little inspiration…

For him, for her, for them.
