Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas Over £20

AD – Gifted items If you’re looking for some ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts, here are some to think about. Gifts don’t have to work on an individual basis for Valentine’s Day. As this is a celebration about love I thought these matching name cushions from GiftPup were a really nice idea. I love that we now have our own cushions and they can’t get mixed up. These are super comfortable as well! Not too long ago we were sent this beautiful personalised star map from GreaterSkies (full review coming tomorrow). These star maps can show the

AD – We received items to include in this post. All opinions are our own.  There was once a time when we were able to spend whatever we wanted on occasions such as birthdays or Valentine’s Day.

Also, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to cost a fortune if you don’t want it to. With that in mind, here are some lovely Valentine’s Day gift ideas that are all under £20! If, like us, you really

Celebrating Valentine’s Day As A Family

Up until recently John and I have never been in a situation where we could go out together on our own without Erin. We don’t speak to the majority of John’s family and my family don’t live near us at all. Fortunately, my sister is living with us at the moment so we have had a bit more opportunity to have some time to ourselves. However, Valentine’s Day is not a thing for a husband and wife alone in our house but it’s a family affair. If you’re quite similar to us then there are

5 Favourite Films To Watch This Valentine’s Day

Now, if you’re spending Valentine’s Day with a loved one this year then a great way to do this is to curl up and watch a movie together. Traditionally these should be romantic films but they don’t really have to be if you don’t want them to be. I’m sure me and John have watched horror films in past years. Still, with romance in the air, here are 5 of my favourite films to watch this Valentine’s Day. Pretty Woman I think this was probably one of the first real films that I remember watching.

Valentine’s Day On A Budget

John and I never really end up doing too much for Valentine’s Day. I remember one of our first together, back when I lived in Nottingham and he lived here in Norfolk. We spent the weekend in Norwich in an apartment and I was ill for most of it with the flu. Since then, we’ve never really made a big deal of it or done anything too extravagant. Now that we have Erin to think about, bills to pay and nursery fees to find, we really don’t have much money to spend on each other

Valentine’s Day Gifts For Men

AD | Gifted items Sometimes I think men can be really difficult to buy gifts for, no matter what the occasion. With Valentine’s Day being so close to Christmas ideas may be few and far between so here’s a few to give you some inspiration! John has a massive sweet tooth and he gets so excited whenever we find a big sweet shop somewhere. As soon as I saw the Love Lolly May Sweet Hamper on Giftpup.com I knew he would love it. The hamper comes absolutely filled to the brim with retro and romantic

There are a couple of items here that I would love and a couple I know John would love! Mr Nutcase personalised mugs*£4.95-£6.50 John drinks a lot of tea. He has a couple of his own mugs at work and I know how much he misses me and Erin during the day.

What Do Women Really Want On Valentines Day?

The age old question, What do women really want on Valentine’s Day? I’m pretty sure if you asked my husband this question he most definitely wouldn’t know the answer. In our 5 years together, I think we’ve only actually done something once for Valentine’s Day and that was our first one together. Since then we’ve either just been busy or had other things going on so we haven’t really bothered. Also, I’m in charge of budgeting and I don’t leave any money spare for this! In order to try to get an answer to this ridiculously
