- Blake Hill Strawberry with Wild Rose Jam

Alex Monroe Wild Rose Necklace
This gorgeous mixed metal necklace is handmade in recycled sterling silver and plated with Fairmined gold in Alex Monroe’s London studio. Showcasing pretty roses, a wee bee, and a small ruby, this necklace would make a lovely gift.

Grillo’s Pickle Bouquet
Forget floral arrangements this Valentine’s Day… How’s about a bouquet of pickles instead!? This super limited edition DIY kit includes a coupon for a jar of Grillo’s pickles, foam base, tissue paper, floral filler, custom pint glass (the “vase”), skewers, and a personalized card.
Galleon Ube Chocolate Bars & Macadamia Nuts
Spread aloha with Galleon’s unique ube chocolate! Their innovative chocolate bars and chocolate-covered macadamia nuts are made on the beautiful island of Maui. Everything they create is delicious, but I’m partial to their Ube Goat Milk Chocolate, as it’s unlike any chocolate I’ve ever eaten.
LEGO Wildflower Bouquet
Fresh flowers are a wonderful gift, but it’s always a bummer when the flowers wilt and die. Our favourite Danish brick maker has come up with colourful, cute, and timeless alternatives: LEGO bouquets! They have a whole collection of botanicals, and this dynamic Wildflower Bouquet is my current fave.

Set also includes a dozen Chocolate is our Love Language bonbons in tempting flavours:
- Bavarian Black Forest
- French Lavender Caramel
- Mexican Hot Chocolate
- Belgian Speculoos
- Greek Baklava
