Valentine's Day Gifting For 2023

The origins of Valentine’s Day have long been perceived as a day celebrating romance symbolised by hearts. Chocolate boxes, balloons, candles and much more are shaped as a heart and can be found everywhere in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day. 

The actual origins are believed to date back to medieval times (5th to 15th centuries), and with that the symbolism of the heart itself. Previously, it was believed that the heart was a place where God wrote his commands, and that it was a book of memory, an idea that came from the belief that feelings for someone you loved were written in your heart. This was reinforced by stories told about female saints whose hearts had been examined after death and found to carry inscriptions indicating their love of God.

But these days, unless the recipient has a strong fondness and appreciation of stylised hearts, it’s probably best to steer clear as it can be perceived as a cliché. Ensure you choose wisely, thinking about the recipient and what they are most likely to want to wear. Trends come and go so its equally important to choose something they will want to keep and enjoy not only now, but as a constant reminder of your love every time the item is used or worn in the future.

If you want to go further than the usual last-minute flowers and chocolates to truly display your endless love to your significant other this year. Gold jewellery is a gift that is sure to stand the test of time. The most traditional presents for women include a necklace, bracelet, ring, or even earrings. For the man in your life cufflinks, a wallet, a quality pen, or a watch to wear everyday would be greatly cherished. With so many styles to choose from, you can be certain of deciding on something that perfectly suits their taste, whether they prefer contemporary designs or a piece with a classic edge. If you are planning on shopping a few weeks in advance you can even have jewellery and watches personalised with engraved initials or dates.
