Stuck for a last-minute Valentine’s Day gift idea? If dinner and drinks isn’t quite going to cut it, don’t panic - here are Guild Of Dough’s top ways of upping the romance at short notice.
Flowers
Hey, they’re a classic for a reason. If you don’t want to go down the classic red rose route, pop into your local florist for a bespoke hand-tied arrangement and incorporate your special someone’s favourite colours. Try The Flower Shop on Gloucester Road, or, if you’re a bit further afield, Lloyd’s Flowers in Clifton Down have a wonderful selection of seasonal blossoms. Why not add a balloon? Everyone loves balloons!
For something even more personal, here’s a great guide on how to create the perfect Korean-style bouquet yourself at home.
A new coffee cup
Nothing says romance like making sure your partner’s hydrated (or caffeinated) - and a reusable coffee cup is the perfect portable reminder of how much you care. frank green comes in a variety of colourways, so, whether your partner’s go-to is a flat white, an iced mocha, or just plain old water, there’s something to fit everyone’s vibe. Totally customisable, you can even add a monogram so they’ll know it’s just for them.
Bring the spa to them
An evening of pampering is difficult for anyone to turn down. Run your partner a bath, light some candles, pour a glass of something special - is it me or is it getting steamy in here? Lush has a range of plastic-free bath bombs that are sure to make any night go with a fizz. Go with Carey’s Secret Garden for sophisticated floral indulgence, Love Letter for strawberry and cream dreams, or Salt Water Soother for something more reinvigorating, depending on what you’ve got planned for the evening.
A little treat
Is that a gift bag in your pocket or are you just pleased to see us? We’ve got a range of favourites at Guild for those impulse buys. Pick up a bag of our new Raspberry Truffles - hand-rolled and oh-so-indulgent, they’re sure to make anyone melt. Looking for something a bit more casual? Our two-packs of Raspberry Chocolate Cookies are perfect for sharing - pair them with a couple of cappuccinos for the ultimate teatime date.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
