VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS FOR PARENTS

When you have children they naturally become the priority. While we shouldn’t need a ‘special day’ to (re)kindle what might get lost in the everyday the month of love can certainly remind us to prioritise our partner. Kids or no kids. So this Valentine’s Day gift guide focuses on presents and experiences that can be enjoyed together. The best Valentine’s Day gifts for parents. Whether you need to carve out an evening at home or manage to escape to a spa for the day this guide is full of ideas. We don’t have family nearby so our couple time is precious (read: sometimes non-existent). What I look for when picking a gift for Daddy Long Legs is often something we can both enjoy. Something that will encourage us to focus on each other. For more gift ideas also see my guide on what to buy your best friend.

ENJOY A SPA DAY WITH LUNCH OR AFTERNOON TEA WITH BUYAGIFT

There is no better way to relax than to escape home – even if it’s just for a day. Going to a gorgeous spa where you can just focus on each other is ideal. Enjoy a massage or facial each and feel at ease. Forget about all the chores that life with children bring and give your relationship a new lease of life. Buyagift has a world of different experiences to choose from. This one includes spas at many different locations. You then get to choose a treatment and finish the day with either lunch or Afternoon Tea. Giving spa experiences is one of my favourite gifts. If it’s for two and I can come along even better.

Easy to use it comes with many different accessories to target different areas of your body. Six settings for intensity from lightweight to powerful.

CELEBRATE WITH POPPIES THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

If you enjoy a glass of champagne then why not pop open this beautiful pink edition supporting The Royal British Legion. The front is adorned with pretty poppies. Champagne Jacober Brut premier cru. The Royal British Legion was founded in May 1921 as a campaigning organisation, fighting for fair treatment of those who had given so much for their country in The First World War, and provided much-needed welfare and comradeship to millions. Over 100 years on, the RBL continues to respond to the changing needs of the Armed Forces community, providing small interventions to life-changing and sometimes lifesaving support. A percentage of the sale of this beautiful Champagne goes to The Royal British Legion.

WHISKEY GLASSES FOR THOSE LATE-NIGHT CAPS AND CATCH-UPS

If your children are anything like mine they’ll try and stay up as late as possible. This often means your evenings don’t start until you are almost too tired to keep your eyes open. Maybe one or both of you work long hours, too, leaving little room for romance. Enjoying a drink and a catch-up can be a great way to reconnect after a busy day. These whiskey tumbles are a super gift for those who enjoy a nightcap. Beautifully designed they have a sphere at the bottom so they rotate. Tippling tumblers for Rum, Bourbon or Scotch.
