This year, why not also share the love with our planet by hand making cards and choosing ethical florists and gifts?
FRAME YOUR PEACH
Why not get a portrait of your bottom for your amour? Talented artist Sophie works from a photo to your preferred colour combination.
HERD OF SEAHORSE CUFFLINKS
Each morning the male and female seahorse dance in unity to strengthen their lifelong bond; we think they’re the perfect gift for a lover. Shop here.
LUCY VAIL FLORISTRY
Bold colours and beautiful arrangements that light up the room. Lucy is an award-winning young florist who goes the extra mile for her customers. If you are London based, look no further. Shop here.
PIGEON POST PENDANT
Pigeons can deliver messages because of their ability to always return to their nest; we like the idea that this cast of a carrier pigeon's loop will guide its wearer back home. Shop here.
ELMA LINGERIE
Handmade lace lingerie in swoon-worthy colour combinations. Highly recommend following Elma's Instagram account, where she films herself hand making them each day. Shop here.
FORAGERS OF THE FORESHORE RING
Carried by the tide through flotsam and jetsam into the hands of a mudlark, we imagine this ring was once designed for a vow, symbolic of friendship, love, or loyalty. Shop here.
SCARLET & VIOLET
Looking like Dutch Golden Age paintings, these are the most beautiful bouquets imaginable. Your Valentine would be lucky to receive one. Shop here.
MADONNA & CHILD PENDANT
Inscribe the back of this pendant cast from a 1440 relic showing the tender bond between Madonna & Child, with initials, a date, or even something written in your hand. Shop here.
A SMALL SHOP IN AFRICA
Artisanal African homeware products that would make any nester happy. From hand-painted trays and coasters to handmade recycled glassware, you won't be disappointed. Shop here.
TUDOR LOVER'S TOKEN
Our pendant is inspired by a Tudor heart-shaped trinket found on the foreshore and inscribed dolce sostegno di mia vita, "sweet support of my life". Shop here.
NOT JUST A PRETTY BAKE
For those with a sweet tooth, why not commission a cake from Bella. A work of art in sugar. While hard to believe, we've heard they taste as good as they look. Shop here.
