It’s that time of year again when love is well and truly in the air. But for many of us, Valentine’s Day can be more of a headache than a trip on the love boat as we struggle to come up with that perfect gift idea for the one we love. So to help, the team at Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre has taken on the role of Cupid and pulled together some top gift ideas and tips.
For Her:
Go for quality - If you are going for the route of bath products or perfume, this is the perfect opportunity to splash out and go for the good stuff. Check out the latest fragrance offerings at Superdrug, Boots and The Perfume Shop and buy her a treat that will leave her smelling divine. Top Fragrances start from £14.99
All that glitters – It’s not just diamonds that are a girl’s best friend, buy her a piece of sparkling jewellery and you’ll be sure to have the key to her heart. Go simple and elegant with a solitaire necklace or bracelet. Or for something extra special, why not personalise it? Buy a heart-shaped locket or have the jewellery engraved with your loved one’s initials. Check out the latest ranges available at H Samuels F.Hinds or Warren James. Prices start from £10
Spoil her rotten - If the woman in your life is overstressed, she's probably overdue a day of self indulgent pampering. Why not book her a hair cut and treatment at Regis Hair Salon to make her feel truly spoilt.
For Him:
Music to his ears - The men in our lives are often stressed so why not buy some of his favourite music to make him relax. Whatever his taste you’ll find it at W H Smiths or for something really original and special, why not find a copy of your special ‘song’ and play over dinner…. Many CD’s just 10.99 in store
Treat him - It’s not just women that like to be pampered, buy him some aftershave or toiletries from The Body Shop or The Perfume Shop - you’ll benefit from him smelling gorgeous too! Top Fragrances start from £15.99
Experience somewhere new – Does your man need a real treat? Why not treat him to a weekend away. Life can get so busy that you rarely get quality time to spend together so whisk him away on a city break and you have him all to yourself! Packages available at Thomas Cook or Thomson.
Kit him out - The men in our lives are often to busy too look for new clothes and many of them don’t enjoy it! Why not treat him to a new outfit for Valentines? Whatever his taste you’ll find it at Burtons, Next or T K Maxx.
Don’t forget to get a card! There is a great selection available at Birthdays, Clintons and Card Factory.
