Avoid a last minute dash to the nearest service station to pick up some flowers and chocolates by getting one of the inspirational and thoughtful Valentine’s gifts for girls from The Handpicked Collection.
What girl doesn’t love a bit of jewellery? The Dragonfly Necklace (£39.95) is an exclusive Handpicked Collection piece so is unique and will seem as if you’ve been shopping around for hours. Or how about the dazzling Pearl Multi-Strand Bracelet (£37.95) & Necklace (£54.95) and there is even a Multi-Cluster Pearl Cocktail Ring (£24.95) to match if you are feeling really generous. And for true romantics looking for hearts galore: the Pearl Heart Tag Necklace ((£45.95) & Bracelet (£29.95) are a subtle declaration of love as is the Rose Quartz Heart Keyring (£14.95).
For your spa babe, the indulgent Abahna Bath products will keep them (and you) smelling of roses. There is an energizing Bath Oil ((£23.95) and Bath Salts (£27.50) or for the true spa-worshipper how about a Foam Blending Set (£39.95) which includes a blend of three essential oils which can be combined with an unscented foam. Or if you are whisking your loved one away for the weekend, what better complement than the Abahna Mini Bag Set (£14.95) complete with bath foam, soap and lotion.
If you can’t stay away from the red rose, then pop it into a slick Black + Blum Flower Loop (£27.95). It will be even better if accompanied by a parcel containing Ultra-Soft Embroidered Pyjama or Dressing Gown (£29.95 each) each embroidered with a very subtle pink heart.
For a bit fun, the Pink Spotty Frying Pan (£9.95) may suit your domestic goddess or how about a ‘Yummy Mummy’ or ‘Goddess’ Mug (£7.95) to brighten up every coffee break. The Wet Things (£12.95) & Wash Me Wear Me Embroidered Bags (£14.95) add a little fun to laundry day and keep any dirty lingerie tucked away in a pretty bag!
While for totally unapologetic embracing of Valentine’s Day, kick off the morning with fresh mango and pineapple presented on the Heart Olive Wood Chopping Board (from £19.95) with toast in the Silver-Plated Heart Toast Rack(£23.95)
Finally, if the way to her heart is through her tummy, the Love & Kisses Mini Shake (£4.95) filled with juicy lips and fruit hearts or the Best of British Champagne Truffle Box (£9.95) will do the trick.
