Valentine’s Day. It’s a day dedicated entirely to love, a day to show that special someone in your life just how much they mean to you. Often, that means giving gifts and that’s where things get a bit tricky. What should you buy them? How much should you spend? Thankfully, there’s no need to fret this year - we’ve put together The Ultimate Valentine’s Day Gift Guide to really treat your loved ones this February 14.
Chocolates are a classic Valentine’s Day gift. It’s like a hug in a box and who wouldn’t want to receive that? This year, opt for something extra special from Hotel Chocolat on Peter’s Lane.
Their Chocolate Cabinet with Prosecco is an impressive collection of sweet treats that showcases amazing taste and texture. Made up of milks, darks, whites, truffles, pralines and crunchy bites, presented in a beautiful cabinet, this is the ultimate luxury chocolate box. Paired with a 75cl bottle of vivacious boutique Prosecco exclusively made in Italy’s Dolomite foothills, we guarantee you’ll be in the good books of whoever receives this gift.
