Top 3 Valentine’s Day gift ideas: The Classics Vs the Contemporaries.

It’s a question many a lover has asked: “Do I buy flowers or that awesome skydiving gift?” For some, it’s an easy decision but for others it can cause night after night of sleep deprivation. On one hand you have the romantic tradition- a bouquet of colourful, fragrant fleurs guaranteed to please any eye. On the other, a free fall of 7,000 feet followed by a gentle, parachute-assisted float to the ground. It’s so hard to call!

If you’re struggling then this handy gift guide to Valentine’s Day should give you some peace of mind. Like a gift buying wrestling match viewed by the romantic British public, we pit classic romantic gesture against contemporary gift experience. Let the games begin.

1. Flowers Vs Spa Day

Flowers: Beautiful and fragrant; a tangible gesture of your complete and wholehearted love. A carefully arranged bouquet blending contrasting colours and species together has the potential to knock your lover off their feet…literally!

Spa Days: Stress can have a detrimental affect on an individual’s mood, health, love life and general well-being. That’s why it’s crucial to find the time to unwind. A spa day is the ultimate in human indulgence. Complete and serene relaxation; nothing short of divine.

2. Chocolates Vs Driving Days

Chocolates: The undoing of many a woman’s heart, a luxury box of chocolates is guaranteed to leave your lover feeling completely intoxicated- and we’re not talking about the alcohol-filled chocolates. Delicious, slightly addictive and always a winner.

Driving Days: Nothing screams love more clearly and precisely than a high-octane driving day. Yes, giving your speed-demon the chance to get behind the wheel of one of the world’s greatest Supercars is the Premier League of Valentine’s Day gifts.

3. Dinner for Two Vs Romantic Breaks

Dinner for Two: A quintessential finale to a perfect Valentine’s Day, a candle lit three-course dinner at a top-notch restaurant is just as- if not more- important as the kiss, the card or the present. The delicious food, gentle flirting and brief hand contact made when reaching for the salt mill- who said the classics are dead?!

Romantic Breaks: Taking your lover out is one thing but taking your lover away is another. Getting away from it all on a romantic hotel break is an incredible way to enjoy the loving company of your partner, away from the demands and responsibilities of everyday life. A wonderful and highly thoughtful gift.
