5. Relight my fire
The famous lyrics from Take That inspires us with our next Valentine’s gift – candles! The Flower Shop Southampton stock a gorgeous range of St Eval Candles. Nestled on a working farm in North Cornwall, St Eval Candle Company began crafting their nature inspired scented candles by hand in the family farm house kitchen.
Pick from flavours such as Fig Tree, Dewberry & Bramble, Sea Salt or Lavender candle for your Significant Other to light on Valentine’s night. Sit back and unwind together with a glass of bubbles, whilst the gorgeous scent whisks you to happy memories of the Cornish countryside.
6. Passionate plants
Plants have been oh so popular the past year, and 2020 the trend is set to grow even more! The perfect Valentine gift to send a green fingered fan who adores luxurious green plants and succulents, which can be enjoyed in the home for many months and easy to care for.
The Flower Shop Southampton stock a range a range of house plants in all 4 of our flower shops, with Freedom Fern Planter being one of our top choices for February 14th. This bushy little plant has fabulous feathered leaves and tons of texture - making them great at filtering air! Our florists plant a Boston Fern in a trendy grey ceramic pot, with a matte gold stand. Boston Ferns prefer a warm spot but out of direct sunlight, and as tropical plant enjoy regular sprinkles of water.
Why not add an extra touch of sparkle with a bottle of Jules Feraud Champagne or bouquet of love balloons to add an extra special wow to the gift?
7. Handmade local trinkets
We love that Hampshire is full of talented local artists, including Trinkets by Moonlight who make handmade jewellery from their Southampton studio. They have a gorgeous range of silver, copper and gold jewellery and trinkets to chose from – we particularly adore this sterling silver heart bangle which can be personalised with a sweet romantic message.
