Tired of chocolates, flowers and silly cards? Well, the team at Thomas Lyte have decided to share our Top 10 Valentine Gift Ideas to inspire all those who haven’t a clue. There are always different options when it comes to gifts, and they don’t have to be the same things that everyone else is getting, just take a look…
1 & 2. Does your love one harbour a dream of packing in the day job and becoming a published author? Show your love by investing in their interest and booking them onto a creative writing course. As a surprise conceal the booking confirmation inside the pages of a Thomas Lyte ‘With Love’ Leather Journal – with 100 pages there is plenty of space for jotting down ideas before class starts!

3 & 4. A hot air balloon ride for lovers! A little cliché but who cares when you’re in love! Take the day off work and venture out of the city in search of a beautiful landscape to enjoy a relaxing sunset ride sipping a cheeky beverage and taking in the views with our Outdoor Kit. You’ll be falling in love all over again.

5. Any if you just haven’t the energy to venture into the sky we suggest breakfast in bed. Simple but oh so effective. If done properly, maybe with a surprise gift, this gesture is sure to secure your Valentine for another year of love!

6 & 7. Dotted around London are plenty of independent cinemas waiting to offer a luxurious cinematic experience for couples this Valentine’s Day. Some have suites to rent… others have extra comfy sofas for two, velvet pillows, warm wooly blankets, foot rests and a small table to hold your wine!
We suggest you tuck the tickets into our Love Notes Envelope for a truly thoughtful gesture.

8. Hold your Valentines hand as you board a luxury steam train and allow your selves to be whisked away into a world of pure indulgence. Champagne flows and gourmet cuisine is served as you take in the beauty of the British countryside, giving you and your loved one the voyage of a lifetime that makes a loving and lasting memory.

9. If you are a fan of tradition and insist on sending flowers we suggest you visit a local garden centre… ask to choose a previously un-named and un-introduced flower and name it after your loved one! They will be immortalized with a flower that will honour them forever. Be sure the presentation is as beautiful as the flowers with the unique handmade Thomas Lyte Faceted Vase.

10. Finally, if work is too often getting in the way of quality time why not decide to take the entire day off work and book a long weekend away. Or you could even take the entire week off and celebrate all week long! Devote it to one another and do something romantic each day. Next stop your local travel agent and a little of your own imagination!
