Quirky Valentine's Gifts

Firebox has come up trumps again with the USB mix tape. At £19.95, this USB stick concealed cleverly in the packaging of an old-fashioned tape gives you the chance to impress your love with your musical knowledge, songs which bring back memories and even write little messages in the track listing, too. Cheesy? Little bit. Individual and personal? Definitely.

FOR HER
Show the lady in your life that you really do care with this old-school touch of romance. Iwantoneofthose.com’s Carve Your Own Message kit at £7.49 comprises of a postcard sized bit of wood, which is blank and ready for you to share with your beloved how you really feel. Be it the “I heart you” carved on trees in your youth or something a bit more personal, this is a heart-meltingly simple way of telling her how you feel.

If you can’t quite afford that massive Tiffany ring she bangs on about at every available opportunity, the clever folk at boysstuff.co.uk have a clever alternative. For £59.99, you can get your girl a share in Tiffany and Co. Not quite as good as a bit of bling, but definitely glamorous enough to show your loved one you really do listen. It could maybe give you the chance to start saving to pay a visit to the site of her investment, too.

Go all out and treat her to something a bit more special than the standard box of chocs. Firebox’s chocolate making workshop could be just the thing. Available in London or Manchester, it’s a time to learn a bit about a girl’s second best friend, make your own and take it away with you in a ribbon-tied box. A little bit more personal than relying on Mr Cadbury once again. At £139.95, it’s worth every penny for a little bit of you-and-me time, topped off with a Valentine’s Day favourite.
