Valentine’s Day Bouquet
What would St Valentine’s Day be without flowers? Your loved one will feel like a princess when she receives your gift, whether it’s a single red rose, Bloom & Wild’s stunning Luna bouquet with a box of Charbonnel truffles, or something else entirely.

Cocktail And Chocolate Making Masterclass

Instead, treat her to an evening at MyChocolate that she won’t forget. The two of you can have a fun time learning to make cocktails in a Prohibition-inspired masterclass, before going on to make chocolate truffles in another masterclass!

Luxurious Egyptian Cotton Bedding
No matter how romantic the Bon Jovi song makes a bed of roses sound, it’s not practical. Presuming he means a bed on which rose petals have been scattered, the petals will wilt and turn to muck, and laundry day will be a nightmare. If he means an actual bed of roses, you’re in for a trip to A&E. If you’re serious about giving her a Valentine’s gift of bedding, a luxurious Egyptian cotton set with a high thread count, such as Dusk’s Kensington Collection, is a far better idea.
