Everything
No matter what you make of Valentine’s Day – consumer-driven concept, a day to commemorate a Catholic saint or simply just another day – there’s no-one who can deny the simple fact that a Valentine’s Day gift is actually quite a nice surprise to receive.
The prospect that someone loves you so much that they manifest something you’ve had your eye, and heart, on? Stunning.
Choosing a gift for Valentine’s Day is of course something personal, something to be curated specifically for your significant other. But sometimes a little inspiration can set you on the path to the perfect gift idea.
Henceforth, this is what’s on my list for Valentine’s Day this year.
