With valentines day fast approaching, I thought I would give you a round up on the lovely accessories I have been sent information on. I will also be posting some tips on how to style a valentines table…
I absolutely love this grey felt water bottle with a sweet embroidered red heart. I have a similar one and it makes such a difference to cuddle this rather than boiling rubber! It’s from a company called dotcomgiftshop and is priced at £12.95. Their website is pretty good and has lots of sweet heart themed accessories. They range from glass trinket boxes to this wooden chest; another favorite. It would look great as a bathroom cabinet or used in the kitchen for all of your herbs and spices. The fact that it is white means it won’t date that quickly.
I just had to share this with you as I think it’s so lovely. It’s a hand carved Oak Swing with the words “Daisy Daisy give me your answer do, I’m half crazy all for the love of you”. It’s not cheap at £270 but as it’s oak it should last and weather well. It would also make a sweet present for a birthday or christening. My sister is called Daisy…maybe I should suggest that my brother in-law buys it for her valentines present…! It’s from a company called Swings and Pretty Things.
If you are just looking for a little gift then these leather heart key rings from Ecotopia are quite cute.  I think I would have one of these regardless of whether it’s Valentine’s day! The reason why I like them so much (aside from the colours) is that they are fair trade and under £3!
Forget chocolates or flowers, why not buy your loved one something a little different this Valentines. This stylish tea light holder from Grand Illusions would look lovely as a set of three hanging in the garden.
The Spring/Summer months will be here before we know it and this would cast such a pretty light whilst enjoying some AL Fresco dining. Not bad for £9.95…
