We have to do this every year. Maybe it’s because I’ve been happily married for ages, but Valentines Day is simply a ‘Hallmark Holiday’ diary date for me, where Interflora and the greeting card industry are the main beneficiaries.
But for those of you who love to “gift” your beloved or assume the role of a secret and illusive admirer, then it’s a fun time to go all out and buy some romantic bits and bobs.
So here’s a round up of what’s out there on the high street as an alternative to the standard fare of roses, chocolates and prosecco.
