Keeping Up With Tradition Valentines Day Gifts

Three of the most typical traditional Valentine's Day gifts are cards, flowers and chocolate. Although jewellery is another common and well loved Valentine's gift nowadays, it is these first three that go back centuries and are still popular today. Valentine's cards were given as early as the 15th century, when Charles the Duke of Orleans wrote a poem for his wife on Valentine's Day when he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. This started a tradition of sending cards which grew in popularity in the 16th century and became extremely common practice from the 19th century onwards, when mass produced greetings cards started to be sent. Rather than sending one of these mass-produced cards this year, however, our Personalised Ceramic Love Message Card is a much more thoughtful alternative, combining a card with a Valentine's gift. This lovely little ceramic card has a pink heart with the word ‘Love' underneath on the front and you can personalise it with a four-line message of your own on the inside (up to 15 characters per line). This is one card you can be sure she'll want to keep forever!

Flowers were first traditionally given as Valentine's presents in the 17th century. Roses were the flower of choice, because they are the symbol of love. Supposedly Venus's (the Goddess of Love) favourite flower, it stands for strong feelings of love and passion and so a Valentine's red rose or other flowers became traditional Valentine's Day gifts. The unfortunate thing about buying flowers as a gift is that before too long they will die… until now! Our own version of the Valentine's red rose is ‘everlasting' and will last for years and years if correctly kept. This is not a synthetic flower, but a real, full size rose (50cm long) that has been specially treated to keep it fresh and in its beautiful natural state for years to come. When you buy this beautiful gift, it will come in a special acetate presentation tube nestled in a black mailing box. You can also include gift messaging for no extra cost.

Chocolate soon became a typical valentines gifts in the 17th century, thanks to its aphrodisiacal and mood enhancing properties. Consequently, it was the natural choice to join flowers and cards and give your lover a sweet treat on this romantic day. As well as bars and boxes of chocolates, we have plenty of other chocolate-themed Valentine's presents for you to offer your wife and girlfriend this year, including some fun and frivolous ideas. Another popular item is the Chocolate Massage Kit, which has everything you need for a wonderful chocolate massage experience. Women love the scent of chocolate almost as much as the taste, and will feel ultimately relaxed when you put this gift into action! Complete in the box you will find cocoa body butter with a plastic spatula for applying, a tealight candle holder plus two chocolate scented candles, and an incense holder plus six chocolate incense sticks.
