Red rose, Champagne, chocolates and cuddly teddy bears – yep it’s that time of the year again, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.
But what to buy for the lady in your life that isn’t the usual predictable decadent sweet treats or soppy souvenirs?
Here at Elephant Yard, we have the answer. Here are our top picks from the fabulous stores we have right on our doorstep:
- Socks might not be exactly what comes to mind for a romantic present (and are probably better associated with unwanted gifts at Christmas) but we think these two pairs of cosy socks from Accessorize are absolutely adorable, and perfect for those chilly winter evenings.
- If you’re still feeling the pinch from Christmas, then a beautiful piece of jewellery doesn’t need to break the bank. Accessorize has a gorgeous selection of cute daytime pieces, including a gorgeous multi hearts pendant, sterling silver open heart ring and a heart-themed bangle.
- If your sweetheart is the active type, this gorgeous matching yoga mat, gym bag and water bottle from Laura Ashley will add a stylish sparkle to any gym session.
- If you’re really stuck for that perfect present, you can’t go wrong with lovely smellies that will be extra special for pamper sessions. Laura Ashley has a fabulous range, and we especially love the Magnolia Grove set of three body scrub set.
We hope our top picks provide you with some Valentines inspiration for the most romantic day of the year. If you’re still not sure what to buy, be sure to head down to Elephant Yard, have a wander around and see what catches your eye from our fabulous selection of shops.
