Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2018 by Forkward thinking Foodinista
Love is in the air this February, so spread the love this valentine’s day with some gorgeous gifts for the girl or guy in your life.
Moneykissed.com, Chocolate and Love, Find Me A Gift, Gingersnap, Carluccios and The Artisan Olive Oil Company are great brands to pick up your loved one a much-deserved gift of love.
Say it with flowers, what better way to show someone you love them than with a bouquet of flowers, but with a twist. Roses are red, violets are blue sugar is sweet and so are you. Make your sweet heart feel loved this Valentine’s Day with these sensational sweet chocolatey red roses from Carluccios.
Gift your heart to the one you love this Valentine’s day with this lovely silver-plated heart shaped locket and chain, presented in a gift box, from the fabulous Find me a Gift. The locket opens to reveal two spaces where you could already place pictures of you and your loved one. Also, why not personalise with engraving, already included in the price, of your loved one’s name, a message of love such as “I love you” or perhaps a special date that you both hold dear to your hearts such as when you first met. Say thanks a bunch to your loved one with this pop up flower card – a cost effective way to give flowers to the one you love.
Moneykissed.com founded by Anita, offer a bespoke and unique service, a thoughtful and fun way to gift real money. Presented in a gorgeous luxury giftbox, their exquisite designs where money has been folded with the origami style method, with satin ribbon bow detail along with a personalised message makes for a lovely little gift, but the question is will you Treasure it or Spend it?
Light up your lover’s life and heart with this neon lit heart lumo lamp from the team over at Gingersnap. Turn down the lights and set the mood for a Valentine’s evening dinner at home and give your loved one a piece of your heart with this red iconic symbol of love.
They say that they way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, well the amazing Artisan Olive Oil Company have just the answer with their exceptional fab foodie finds. Using their Jared olives, artichokes, sun dried tomato spread, lovely lemon Finca la Torre oil and Vegetarian Caviar, I rustled up this super simple salad starter – easy, but yummy. The Julien Allano Crème de Parmesan made a beautiful light, but indulgent pasta sauce, again simple to make, but melt in the mouth yumminess. Quality ingredients mean less time in the kitchen, so you can spend more time with your loved one this Valentines day.
Want to end Valentine’s Day on a sweet note, well Birgitte Hovmand and Richard O’Connor, loved up couple and founders Chocolate & Love have exactly what you need. Two tins of chocolatey heaven for two love birds, so one for each partner or why not try their new and exciting chocolate pomegranate bars.
Happy Valentine’s Day and Thank you for reading 😊

Loveee the chocolate rose idea instead of real flowers, more tasty and they don’t die until you choose to eat them. Doing a girls night on the 14th, so they would be the perfect accompiant to a bottle of vino.
