Valentine’s Day is nearly here and this year we’re all in favour of sharing the love!
Why not go local when buying that all important gift and card for your loved one this Valentine’s Day? You win, your sweetheart wins and your local merchants win!
One-of-a-kind gifts are a fantastic way to show your special one how much you care! Handmade cards, artisanal chocolates, bespoke trinkets and baubles are all for the finding in local shops and businesses.
Here are a couple of our favourite local small businesses we came across for gifts ideas this Valentine’s:
- Lola’s handcrafted cup cakes – check out the Valentine’s love box- A dozen red roses from McQueens – what better way to be romantic
- Chocolates from Coco – liqueur cherries and champagne truffles look rather tempting.
Why not see what’s local to you and share your favourites with us? We’d love some tips for next year!



These are definitely superb ideas and am sure this things would still be a big hit even after Valentine's day. Thanks for posting.
