It’s that time of the year again – Valentine’s Day is crawling, creeping and edging up on us (and yes we all hate it really, but we can’t seem to get away from it) – in about 2 glorious weeks it’s that time again…just when you were relieved Christmas was done and over with, were trying to overcome the January blues…and hey, no pressure – now you need to dig yourself out of the January depression, get over the fact that you’re still totally broke from Christmas and find perfect presents for your loved ones…apparently, so they tell you (and me but I’m trying to ignore it).
Personally, really I think it should be more about the gesture – just to show that signficant other/ mother/ sister/ daughter/ friend that you love them and haven’t forgotten about them and think of them - maybe even something slightly cheesy actually?
I’ve done a little dig around for what would put a smile on my face if I unwrapped it this 14th of February…et voila, here we go – my selection for Valentine’s Day gifts take #1:
The Mellon Twin Heart Brooch by emerging designer Jennifer Loiselle – £30/ $47 / €36 – available online at Boticca.com.
The super cute “Je t’adore” thread bracelet by Bijoux Bar – amazing as a friendship bracelet or for a sister! Only £23/ $36/ €27 as well – hello?!
Love this chunky colourful beaded bangle by Toujours Toi spelling out LOVE in bright coloured beads (usually not much of a bead-lover myself usually) – especially with the summer coming up, wear it with a clean simple white tank top and denim shorts? I can see much more wear coming out of this than a one-off Valentine’s extravaganza, can’t you? And at £41/ $64/ €49.50 it’s a summer must-have!
