How is it February already? This year seems to be flying by, the mornings are growing lighter and we've actually seen blue skies overhead here.
As we all know, February is the month of love and Valentine's Day is fast approaching. So many people dread this month and just don't buy into the commercialism of it, but treating someone you love will always be ok to me. If not a partner then a friend or a relative; I believe we should always treat the ones we love.
Whether you choose to celebrate Valentine's over a home cooked meal, go out to a restaurant or just meet up with a friend for coffee and a catch-up, time spent with a loved one is never wasted. Throw in the fact that the money spent helps support businesses and jobs and I just don't think you can fault it!
I thought I'd share a couple of my favourite gift ideas...
Handmade Valentine :
I saw the cute idea for '52 Reasons Why I Love You' pop up over Instagram a couple of years ago, and thought I'd give it a go. It's actually easier than it sounds to write the list, my hubby loved them and it was such a lovely gift to give. I wrote each reason onto individual cards and then tied them together with some ribbon, but there's loads of other ways you could choose to present them too. If Valentine's Day is about making your partner feel special then this certainly does that!
Keepsake Valentine:
If you wanted to truly spoil a loved one then beautifully crafted jewellery is always worth investing in. I have a few key pieces that I wear every day and this Daniel Wellington watch had been on my wish list for some time. It's such a classic design, I just love wearing mine. (You can even get 15% off with my discount code '1501michellelouise' until the end of February!)

Of course, it goes without saying that a fresh bunch of flowers will always be appreciated in my household :)
Have a wonderful week ahead x
