Anyway, whoever you’re buying for… I have scoured the cream of the crop of UK small businesses and come up with 6 gorgeously thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift ideas, all from small businesses, that your partner will love. Read on to have Valentine’s Day all taken care of…
1. Lobster & Love Heart Art Print from Skudaboo
I am OBSESSED with all the gorgeous art prints from Bristol-based Skudaboo, they are beautiful, and there’s such a variety. Gifting a piece of artwork for Valentine’s Day is so thoughtful, and there’s so many to choose from. I particularly love this Lobster & Love Heart Art Print, it’s beautiful, it’s quirky, and it alludes to the oh-so-wonderful ‘You’re My Lobster’ phrase in a non-cliche way.
Prices for the Lobster & Love Heart Art Print start from just £9, or browse the whole collection of art prints on the Skudaboo website.
2. Silver Reversible Disk Pendant Necklace from Militza Ortiz Jewellery
Militza Ortiz jewellery is just STUNNING. And so unique. Honestly, who wouldn’t love to be gifted some beautiful jewellery from their significant other this Valentine’s Day. There is such a gorgeous choice on London-based Militza’s website, but I have a real soft spot for this Silver reversible Disk Pendant Necklace - it is so gorgeous!
