   Valentine’s Day

 

After the long, cold and dark winter days…. and with the exciting prospect of Spring around the corner, it is with great anticipation that a young man (or woman’s) fancy turns lightly to thoughts of love…. to paraphrase Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem “Locksley Hall”.

And so it is that the feast of St Valentine’s or Valentine’s Day as it is more commonly known, looms ever closer on the horizon on 14^th February.

This year, instead of the customary box of chocolates (in one fell swoop undoing all the good intentions of the January detox – remember the old adage “a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips”!) or the dubious pleasure of the “garage-forecourt” blooms, why not treat the love of your life to one of our thoughtful, therapeutic and beautifully presented gifts, which are designed to enhance the well-being of the recipient.

 The “To Say I Love You” Valentine’s Luxury Gift Collection comprises a 50ml Serenity Perfume, which comes beautifully enveloped in a luxurious velvet bag.  This beautiful aromatherapy based perfume is full of essential oils that are renowned for both their relaxing properties and their fabulous scents.  The top notes of Bergamot, Neroli and Petitgrain provide a soft floral/citrus scent and are used to "lift" the spirits and soothe "frayed" nerves. Clary Sage contributes a fresh grassy scent and helps to balance the mood and help individuals to "switch off" and cope with stress.  As an accompaniment to the perfume, the collection includes “To Say I Love You” Luxury Bath Oil which is a fabulously scented, luxurious, natural bath oil which is hand blended with therapeutic essential oils: Bergamot which calms the mind and lifts the spirits, Petitgrain which is helpful for individuals who may be 'overworked' or under pressure, Lemon to cleanse and purify and Lavender to encourage a deep and reviving night's sleep. The “To Say I Love You” Gift Collection is beautifully hand wrapped and competitively priced at £24.99.
