This is your essential Valentine’s Day guide

Whilst you shouldn’t wait for Valentine’s Day to make someone feel special, it’s a very good excuse to do so. Make your night magical with touches that show you care - and we can show you how. Here’s how to set a scene that ignites the senses.

Firstly, the most evocative of all the senses: smell. We recommend the classic romantic scents because they’re renowned for a reason: a homecooked dinner, a bouquet of roses in a vase, some scented candles. They’re all sensational scents that help set the scene. We can’t provide you with the perfect recipe, but a vase to hold your bouquet (but would still look beautiful bare) and a Candle and Diffuser Set can set the mood after dinner.

Speaking of first impressions, there’s the sight of the table setting. For the most romantic night of the year, we go the distance. We’re talking about a scene with gorgeous tablecloths, beautiful placemats, magnificent candleholders. If you can’t make a fuss for the person you love, when can you? A night in where you’ve gone all out isn’t just a sweet gesture; it’s a beautiful sophisticated sight. 

We know you've got good taste, so we wouldn't presume to tell you what to serve; just give some guidance on how to serve it. Elegant essentials are often what's needed - a nice G&T in a gorgeous glass, a special meal served on stunning pink plates for the occasion, and a second-to-none cutlery set. Again: it’s the effort that tastes the best.

Then, some final touches that feel even better than they look. Comfort should be key: everyone likes feeling cosy. Unwind at the end of the day on cushions as soft as they are sophisticated - we can recommend the Jane Churchill and Vibrant Red and Gold Stripes. And something like a tartan blanket, both warm and light, that feel so right for these cold winter nights. 

But we’ve one more sense we want to get to and that’s the sense of place. Of knowing the person you’re with is just right, this night and every night. So why not say that with a frame, showcasing one of your favourite shared memories? We have a wonderful range of frames, from our Check Polaroid Pink to our Cherry Red pick. Find one that’s the most fitting of your love story. 

On the site, we’ve organised an entire page set up for our Valentine’s Day treats, with even more pieces we couldn’t list here. You’re sure to find something you love for the one that you love.
