Last minute Valentine's Day gift ideas for you and your loved one

I can’t quite believe where the time’s going, I feel like I was just making a Christmas wish list and here we are at the beginning of February. Speaking of time passing, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the nature of Valentine’s Day and the way its significance shifts from year to year. Specifically, the way we celebrate February 14th depends entirely on your relationship status. Single or attached? Will it be Valentine’s or a Galentine’s? Plus even if you are in a relationship with a significant other, it’s important to celebrate the other relationships in your life, such as your friends. Perhaps your partner doesn’t buy into the day quite as you like, but that doesn’t mean you can’t book something special and spend it with your girlfriends for example.

Also this year I really want to focus on self-love as part of my wider New Year’s Resolution of self-care. Regardless of whether you’re single or seeing someone, we always have the relationship with ourself, and I think it’s easy to forget that it’s the most important relationship we’ll ever have. Either way, whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s, Galentine’s, you, or you’re just in the market for a treat, I hope these recommendations help you to celebrate yourself this year a little more.
