Want to treat the one you love to a special gift this Valentine’s Day? Forget the oh, so predictable chocolates and flowers and give something altogether more chic and thoughtful instead. Read on for inspiration...
First things first, the card. Let’s be honest, getting this right is going to dictate how the rest of your Valentine’s Day goes. Step away from the bawdy cards and opt for something altogether more subtle and heartfelt. We think that our in-house NORSK Valentine’s card with its message about the feeling of euphoria you get when you’re falling in love is about as romantic as it gets. This Koselig card and this gold foil You are my world card (pictured below) also strike just the right tone. We have a number of stylish cards new to our store this Valentine's – see the full collection here.
Now you’ve got the card sorted, it’s time for the all-important gift(s). Yes, we say gifts plural because while we think anyone would love this handmade porcelain mug by Norwegian brand Sögne, just giving that alone might not go down brilliantly. How about making it the ultimate 'cosy night in gift' by adding a super soft Klippan 100% lambswool blanket in pink or amber (pictured above), and a gorgeous Everyday Pampering gift box or Foot Spa gift box by organic Danish skincare brand Meraki.
If you’d like to plan a romantic getaway with your beloved, the beautiful Kinfolk Travel Book makes the perfect gift – and you get to benefit from it, too! Or why not go a step further and book a weekend away at our Scandi-inspired Summerhouse in the pretty Buckinghamshire village of Long Crendon. It's the perfect place for a grown-up getaway, if we do say so ourselves.
Given that you’re choosing gifts from NORSK we can assume you have great taste in interiors, so we’d suggest treating them to something lovely for the home. This Fig & Apricot scented candle by Meraki and Lavender room spray by the P.F. Candle Co. are sure to go down well. Create a romantic atmosphere with this rustic bamboo and glass lantern by House Doctor (which is currently listed at a special price in our Outlet) and, of course, this elegant hand-blown recycled glass vase to display those Valentine's blooms is a must.
And if you’re looking for something a little different, these stainless steel cooling cubes by Pulito will make a stylish gift for chilling their G&T or whisky. Or how about this chic Thermos vacuum jug for surprising your beloved with a luxurious hot chocolate on a romantic Winter walk.
So there you have it, the NORSK Valentine’s gift guide – and not a novelty heart in sight.
