ECHOR END OF DAY WELLNESS JOURNAL
Echor is a brand that help to promote wellness and mindfulness with a range of beautiful, well thought out products. I love their End of Day Wellness Journal, as this is something I have started to use myself to try to note positive things, and to put the day into focus.
This is a beautiful boxed journal, that has a grey linen cover, and is semi-guided to really help focus your thoughts and pick up on affirmations. It is also gift boxed, making it the ultimate self-care gift. Created using sustainably sourced paper, so it also has a mindful feel to it as a gift for someone who looks for sustainability in the products they use.

Skip-A-Beat Knitted Heart Jumper From Cotton Traders
Of course, when it comes to Valentine’s Day, you can’t really go wrong with hearts and flowers, and this year, Cotton Traders have produced what may be the most perfect Christmas jumper ever. The Skip-A-Beat Knitted Heart Jumper is absolutely gorgeous, a soft knit with a multi coloured heart print on the front and the sleeves.

Lily O’ Brien’s Desserts Collection
If your loved one is also a real chocolate connoisseur, then the glorious Desserts Collection from Lily O’Brien’s are a real treat. These are truffle style chocolates from the Irish luxury Chocolatier that take the form of your favourite desserts, with flavours including Lemon Posset, Creme Brulee and Banoffee Pie.

HARIBO Heart Throbs Gift Box
Another gift idea for those with a sweet tooth is the HARIBO Heart Throbs Gift Box. Heart Throbs are pretty jelly and foam hearts that come in a super cute box. These are a great idea for younger couples, those on a budget, and those who tend to swap small gifts rather than grand, ostentatious presents.
Available at most supermarkets.
Vex Card
I always think a gift card is a great idea if you are not sure what to actually buy, but where to buy the card from – wouldn’t it be easier to give your loved one the choice?
The Vex gift certificate is the answer to this problem. You give a topped up gift card for the amount of their choice which the recipient can then exchange for a gift card of their choice from Voucher Express. The choice includes a wide range of shops and services including John Lewis, Selfridges, Ticketmaster and B&Q. The vouchers are easy to order and come within a couple of days, or even sooner if it is for an online store like Amazon.
