Valentine's day gift guide

It may be cheesy and over commercialised, but lets be honest, who doesn't want to be spoilt on Valentine's day. So with that in mind, I've put together some suggestions for a last minute gift guide:

I know quite a few of my friends are in long distance relationships this year, and although they'll be seeing each other at the weekend, why not surprise her on Thursday morning with a hamper of her favourite food/beauty treats. And don't worry if you've left it to the last minute. Couriers such as Parcelforce offer next day delivery, so you've still got time to put it all together!

Perfume always goes down well, and if you want something a bit more unique, then what about Rituals No 4 violet and water lily or Molecule 01 by Escentric molecules. Rituals No 4 is fruity, floral and feminine, whereas Molecule 01 will adapt to create a totally different scent on everyone.

If you want to avoid the cliche of a romantic meal out, then what about treating her to some concert tickets (Pink tickets are now available nationwide) or a musical/theatre show instead. There are hundreds to choose from in London, and even if you don't live in capital, there's bound to be a few in your nearest town. Ultimately, Valentine's is about spending time together and I know I would love it if my boyfriend took me to see Mama mia, Sound of music or Wicked (hint hint)!

Finally, being the foodie that I am, I had to include some edible treats. My top picks: Charbonnel et Walker pralines, Hummingbird cupcakes and Godiva chocolate dipped strawberries (available in stores only).

 Did any of these gift ideas catch your eye? What are your plans for Valentine's day?
