I have put together a valentine’s gift guide for you all. The Christmas gift guide was a huge success so I wanted to promote some more awesome businesses.

We all have someone we love in our lives whether that is a partner, a friend or family. I have tried to find an array of gifts you might like to buy somone.

The first up is a chocolate valentines hamper from Regency Hampers. This comes with a balloon, the hamper and all of the chocolate delights a chocolate lover would love! It comes so well packaged and really looks impressive, with a huge bow saying happy valentines day.

A NAME YOU CAN TRUST

“Established in 2001, and with a growing reputation for excellence, Regency Hampers is your one-stop online emporium for deluxe food hampers and premium gifts to suit any sentiment. As one of the UK’s leading providers of food and wine gifts, we aim to be the last word in luxury and the first choice of the connoisseur.”

OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY

“We know that when you send a gift, it reflects both you and your relationship with the recipient. That’s why we treat every aspect with the utmost care – from content through to presentation.

Our experienced buyers have sourced iconic products from trusted brands, whilst scouring speciality food fayres for new and exciting treats to whet your appetite. Additionally, as a member of the Guild of Fine Food Retailers we select only the finest foods and wines to comprise our luxury gifts, allowing you to shop with confidence whatever the occasion.

Many of these items have won Great Taste Awards (frequently touted as ‘The Oscars of the Fine Food World’), and similarly, many of our wines, champagnes and spirits have received IWA medals for their distinction, ensuring the utmost in quality at a price that’s hard to beat.

Such awards are denoted by their respective icons throughout our website.”

Next up is this delightful babygrow from zippyup. It is made of such good quality material and I think it is lovely to treat the children and babies of the family to a little valentines gift. Valentines can be for anyone you love.

Zippyup came about when the creater Angela decided that she wanted to design an affordable zipped up babygrow here in the UK. Using the best affordable materials to make this stunning babygrow.

This special heart design comes in the black and white as shown here and the pink heart one too. Any little one would be so blessed to receive this babygrow for a valentines gift. I think treating the babies and children of the family to a valentines gift too is such a nice thing to do. The babygrow is made from cotton and will wash up lovely. This is so important and is what every parent needs their baby clothes to be able to be thrown in the washing machine when they get dirty. The zips are perfect for getting the baby in and out of the clothing easily. I know when I am looking after my grandchildren there are so many poppers on babygrows and you need to line them up correctly and this takes away all of that with one simple zip. I wish they had made these when my children were still babies!

A tea hamper is a great treat for anyone that loves their tea and biscuits. This comes in a rustic tray with two cups and special lemon drizzle biscuits and handmade treat, plus two sorts of teabags. It came beautifully wrapped and packaged.

About Virginia Haywood taken from their website

“Established in 1984 by Gin and Geoff Hayward, Virginia Hayward Ltd has grown from a cottage enterprise to being a leader in the luxury wine and food hamper industry. The business remains wholly family-owned and managed and employs over 70 full-time staff, with that figure tripling in the weeks before Christmas.

Over 35 years of supplying and building hampers for some of the most prestigious companies in the UK has given us immeasurable experience in the field. Throughout our significant growth our company ethos has remained the same and is deep-rooted in all that we do:

“To source and supply high quality, beautifully presented luxury food and wine hampers that are reliably delivered and delightfully received in a timely manner and are supported by impeccable levels of customer service.”

We understand the need for a reliable, quality service in the modern gifting market and feel we offer a complete solution. Our customer service is a vital link in our chain and we place a huge emphasis on getting this right for every customer, whether they are ordering 1 hamper or 10,000. We aim to ensure every hamper leaves us in pristine condition, is carefully delivered and thoroughly enjoyed by the lucky recipient. We only include luxury food and wines which people will genuinely use and enjoy. Each product is hand-selected and tested for quality. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it!

We currently operate from over 200,000 square feet of purpose built modern warehousing and office space in Shaftesbury, Dorset. We primarily traded from the same premises in Stour Row but our expansion and the challenges of being split between two sites prompted the move of all operations to Little Down Business Park in Shaftesbury, which was completed in the summer of 2015.

As a business we understand the environmental impacts of our actions and we are constantly working to reduce our waste, increase the amount we recycle and minimalise the on-going impacts of our hampers and gifts. From using 100% re-cycled cardboard and bio-degradable packaging, to carefully reviewing our logistics, we place real importance on ensuring we operate in the most environmentally minded way possible.

We are lucky to be surrounded by stunning countryside and we work wherever possible with local food and drink producers to ensure we support other thriving local businesses.”

If you dont like tea then try this amazing coffee from Two Chimps Coffee. You can buy the coffee appropriate for your coffee maker. This blend is their valentines special blend called I’m Bananas for you which is a velvet smooth Rwandan coffee tat melds blackberry sweetness with notes of marshmollowy vanilla. Florentine flavours of toffee, fig and roasted hazelnut bring a soul-stirring warmth.

If you know someone that likes a drink especially gin then this is the glass for them from Always Personal. You can personalise it which I love! The glass came well packaged and it is such great quality and a really sturdy glass. The personalisation makes it even more special and something the recipient will keep and cherish.

Sky Watcher is not just a wooden mechanical 3D puzzle or an intriguing conversation piece, but an accurate working clock that you can assemble, start and watch as it mechanically counts seconds, minutes, and hours. The tourbillon sphere was designed to resemble a large celestial observatory that pans across the sky, like Mauna Kea in Hawaii, and it captures the essence of a complex mechanism. 

Among the features of this model kit are:

• No glue (assemblу without glue and chemicals)
• Self-assembly (individual pieces are already cut and ready to assemble)
• Mechanical (the clock works without batteries)
• Educational (perfect for working together and hands-on STEM learning)
