With February 14th drawing closer it’s that time of year when romance is in the air. Every year flowers, chocolates and expensive candle lit dinners top the list of Valentine gifts but are they really romantic ?
If planning for the day highlights how important the gesture is then a survey on yell.com show that some people may be doing it from guilt or peer pressure and leave planning their Valentine’s present to 9am on the 14th with searches for florists rising 600% above the usual average and restaurants following closely behind.
I for one don’t consider a meal for two along with 20 other couples ‘Romantic’ and the respondents to a recent 200 survey on romance agree, with me. Even though we all love to be whisked away for a holiday, if that’s beyond your budget, smaller more personalised gifts where some thought has gone to it are much more appreciated:
- a handmade card
- a home made heart shape cookies or cake
- a meal with their favourite ingredients
- a tape of special songs
- a handcrafted piece of jewellery to match a favourite outfit from www.bohochicjewellery.co.uk
