This will be Monsieur Incidental and I’s 14th Valentine’s Day together

Cocoonzzz silk pillowcase and eyemask from belledorm
Keep on top of your beauty sleep with a luxurious silk pillowcase and eye mask. There are many benefits to using silk in your bedroom:
Our Cocoonzzz pillowcase has great cosmetic qualities for your hair. Less friction from silk than other fibres equals less frizz and more shine less absorbent fibres allow your hair to stay fully hydrated and leaving it lustrous.
Unlike cotton or linen, which tugs on the skin, silk glides over your face and reduces the stretching and pulling that causes lines on the skin.

A plant of flowers from Serenata Flowers
Like many people I love to receive flowers but I actually prefer a living plant, especially if it’s easy to care for like this one! I chose this plant as it is part of their Pet Friendly range – always good to know if you have pets that might take a liking to your plants!
Serenata Flowers has a huge range of flowers and plants available for delivery to your loved one this Valentine’s Day.
This plant was £36.99 from serenataflowers.com
A personalised bracelet from Boutique Gifts
Boutique Gifts have lots and lots of unique gifts to choose from. I opted for this leather bracelet for Monsieur Incidental (shhh it’s a secret) but there are all sorts of different ideas for that hard to buy for person. As well as jewellery there are soft toys, mugs, door mats, bottles of drink and loads more that can be personalised with your own photo or words.
Boutique Gifts also have gifts that can be personalised and dispatched within 24hrs – just in case you’ve left it until the last minute….

If curling up with a good book is your loved one’s thing I have two suggestions:
Felix Unbound by Cathy Gunn
I love the idea of this story as I’m sure any cat lover would:
Did you ever wonder what might happen if your cat turned human?
When feisty Tiffany loses her temper with boyfriend Anthony, and accidentally topples a set of inherited Egyptian figurines, ancient forces take their mischievous revenge…and grant her careless wish that men were more like her tabby cat, Felix.It’s fun at first, as Tiffany and Felix gleefully launch him into her social circle, but it soon becomes clear that charismatic Felix spells trouble. As he wins lightning fast success as a talented artist, Tiffany and her friends’ relationships begin to flex and recalibrate – not always for the better.
Hardcover £15.99 available from bookshops and Amazon
The Logos Prophecy by Martin Treanor
If you like your fiction a good mix of conspiracy theory, thriller and metaphysics then this is the book for you! It’s certainly right up our street.
Ary Long is a conspiracy theorist, Jordan Burke is a science guy – and never the twain shall meet… until, through chance encounter and a bizarre symbol, their lives take an extraordinary turn. Thrown together by a mysterious group and hunted by their bitter enemies, the unlikely pair scour the globe searching for the roots of the ancient symbol, uncovering the reality behind the existing world order and the arcane, metaphysical wisdom known as Logos.

Buyagift Spa Day at Rena Spa NYX Hotel London

Shelving from BiGDUG
OK, you might be thinking that shed or garage shelving isn’t very romantic but let me tell you… I am having a new shed delivered ON VALENTINE’S DAY and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I am also getting some BiGDUG shelving to keep all my garden equipment and tools, yes I have my own tools too, nice and tidy. So, I think that shelving as a gift on Valentine’s Day is perfectly romantic and I cannot be alone, surely?
