For Valentines box gifts they’ll love, you want to think about their passions and preferences. Gift hampers are best when they’re personalised to your recipient’s taste. From a pamper present to a lux wine gift; if it reflects an interest, it will go down a treat!
What do you put in a Valentine’s Day box?
When we think about what to put in our gift hampers, the key is balance and layers. You should have 3 items or more so that there’s an element of discovery. Think about providing a full experience or a few different ones.
Let’s take a look at one of our bestsellers, The Ruby Red Wine Hamper. Inside the handmade oval seagrass and wood basket, you have a tonne of treats:
- Luis Felipe Edwards Lot 18 Merlot, Chile
- Elizabeth Shaw Chocolate Salted Caramel Biscuits
- Brown Bag Crisps, Lightly Salted
- Buchanan’s Chocolate Raspberry Caramels
- Joe & Sephs Cosmopolitan Popcorn: Caramel, Cranberry, Orange, Lime, Vodka & Triple Sec
- Fruit Cake
- Captain Tiptoes Dry Roasted Peanuts
- Walkers Milk, White & Dark Chocolate Classics
And this basket perfectly demonstrates balance. You have savoury with the peanuts and crisps. Sweet with caramels, chocolates, fruit cake, biscuits and the stunning Merlot… it is the perfect tipple pairing. It’s a Valentines box with layers too! Here the recipient can choose what to experience first from a wide variety of options. That’s what people love about them!
What can go in a Valentines basket?
You don’t have to confine yourself to food either. While chocolate is sort of the go-to V-day gift (along with flowers, of course); there are other options as well. Why not get them their favourite vintage of wine or create a hamper of books or movies you think they’ll love? Consider soft toys or homemade treats, candies or jewellery. The sky’s the limit. We personally love pampering gifts. After the stress of the holiday season, it’s ideal for giving them some unwind time.
Take the Kula Spa Bath Tub, for example. It’s ideal for all genders and provides them with the perfect slice of heaven on a busy day. The stylish and contemporary re-usable mini tub bathroom tidy is a show stopper too and contains:
- Sea Kelp Shower Gel
- Sea Kelp Body Lotion
- Sea Kelp Body Spray
- Sea Kelp Body Butter
- And a Towelling Sponge
That makes it a layered experience for both in and out of the bath or shower.
What does the UK do for Valentine’s Day?
And once you’ve got your gift sorted, think about the accompanying plans. Will you go out for a night on the town, dinner and a movie, drinks and a show or stay inside with a film and vino? In the UK, Valentine’s Day usually involves a special meal; either cooked at home or eaten out. For some, going to the continent for a long weekend adds that extra sparkle. But nearly, universally, there’s an exchanging of gifts. So, even if you decide to stay in this year; make sure to assemble Valentines box gifts they’ll love by following our tips above or speaking to our team for more help.
