Pop That Sweet Treat In Your Mouth | Valentines Day Gift Ideas

Hey everyone! 

Welcome to a brand new blog post! Valentines Day is slowly coming up soon. As its a massive marketing campaign to put a price on love and affection, I thought that today, I would write a gift guide telling you what you could buy for those who you love. If you're single like myself, then all of the below gifts can be bought for yourselves too.

Sweet Treats 

Jelly Belly 

Jelly Belly was founded in 1898, and began making jelly beans in 1976. Today, Jelly Belly products are sold all over the world. Jelly Belly jelly beans are certified kosher, vegetarian, and free from gelatine, gluten, fat and dairy. Jelly Belly products are the best thing for those who like sweets, but aren't a big fan of chocolate/can't have chocolate for reasons such as allergies or intolerances, like myself. I think that these Sparkling Wine Jelly Belly's are the best for a Valentines Day gift, due to them being full of light and refreshing flavours. The product also comes in a cute Champagne Bottle which I think is adorable!

Lindt 

Lindt are the epitome of Valentines Day Chocolates, in my opinion, due to them being a little bit extravagant and delicious to eat, but also aren't too expensive. They also do the cute Chocolate figures such as the Gold Bear/Bunny. I think that this would be a cute gift on its own, as you get delicious chocolate and a cute charm, to attach to whatever you want. If you're within driving distance of a Lindt store, then I urge you to pop in, as they offer a Pick & Mix service which would be great as a present. You fill it up with all yours or your partners favourite Lindt Lindor truffles, and then all you would need to do, is buy a ribbon and attach to the bag.

Charbonnet Et Walker

If you're feeling extravagant, and you are wanting something that's a little bit luxurious, then Charbonnet Et Walker is the place for you. Charbonnet Et Walker are known for their terrific truffles and a box of them with a ribbon, would make a perfect present for yourself or someone else. Flavours include Strawberries & Cream, Sea Salted Caramel, Whiskey, Pink Champagne and many more. All of their truffles are amaing, as I've tried them before and I can remember eating them like it was yesterday.

Old Fashioned Sweets 

Do you miss the good old days where you could run down to the corner shop, and pick up a bag of sweets for not that much money? Well, why not treat yourself/loved ones to some amazing old fashioned sweets such as Liquorice, Mint Humbugs and Aniseed Balls.

Underwear 

AVA-J 

I think that AVA-J are the best underwear brand around in the United Kingdom. Their underwear fits amazingly and looks great on anyone. They stock great underwear such as Boxers, Boxer Briefs, Jockstraps, Briefs and much more for yourself/the men in your life who need some great underwear. They even stock nightwear such as gorgeous dressing gowns! They even have a sale on at the moment, which I'm trying to avoid, due to still not finding my wonderful pair of AVA-J underwear when moving to Leeds, and because I'm trying to not spend loads at the moment. I love their jockstraps and briefs as they're gorgeous and super comfy.

Bravissimo 

Bravissimo is an amazing lingerie brand for those who want to feel sexy and confident no matter what. Bravissimo stock their amazing products, in a vary od different sizes and colours. If you are a big boobed woman or know someone who is, eg, a partner or someone then this brand is for them.

Fragrance

Debenhams 

Debenhams is known for its amazing array of fragrances, from ones such as Jimmy Choo to Viktor and Rolf to Tom Ford. There is a luxury fragrance for everyone. If you want to treat yourself to a new scent or get someone special, something that they'ce been lusting over then Debenhams is the place for you.

The Perfume Shop 

The Perfume Shop is known for having amazing perfumes, from brands such as, Calvin Klein, DKNY, Paco Rabanne, and celebrity fragrances such as David Beckham and Nicki Minaj. If you know someone who loves a certain celebrity then a fragrance from them might be a great gift. If you or yourself need to top up on a fragrance then this is the best place for you, due to their many offers.

Alcohol

Alcohol is a great go to present for anyone around Valentines Day, especially if they have a favourite liquor or brand. You can also always grab a bottle of something and add things, such as mixers and fruits to give them or yourslef a DIY Cocktail Kit. Check ASDA, Tesco, Morrisons. Sainsburys or your local Supermarket for whats on offer/what kinds of alcohol they stock.

Adventures

Experiences and adventures have become such a great gift. Things ranging from car experiences to afternoon tea to spa treatments and much more. Red Letter Days do a range of couple experiences which are great for those wanting to get back in touch with their other half but, there is also things like mentioned above that are great for one person or a group of friends.

Have you got anything planned for Valentines Day such as presents/experiences? Let me known down below!

Shoes, Shirts & Boxer Briefs! | Latest Wishlist

Meow!

Today, I thought that I would do a little wishlist post. If you're like me and you end up procrastinating in any way shape or form then you will understand why I've been window shopping so much lately as I end up procrastinating a bit when it comes up to things such as exams and such so I thought I would share with you what I have been lusting over at the minute...

The first thing that I have been lusting over at the minute are Oliver Sweeney shoes. Yes, I know that sounds a bit strange but they are so amazing aesthetically and they are a little bit out of my price range so I've had to just lust over them... It also doesn't help that I finally got a chance to check out their new VQ Leeds store which has been refurbished. The store is amazing but it makes you want all of the products within the store as soon as you step in as its just that magnificent. A pair that I have been loving at the minute are Kelfield Tan Brogue Boot. I love these as you can wear them with smart clothes such as a suit depending on the colour, you can wear them with a tshirt and jeans combo and if you can wear them with the two suggestions then you can wear them with anything which makes them so versatile! If you want to see more about Oliver Sweeney then click on their name to go straight to their website.

The next thing that I have been wanting is floral. I already have some floral but whilst I was out the other day within Leeds, I popped into H&M, There is also one closer to where I live but I only check that branch out if I'm near it. I saw an amazing floral top and a shirt to add to my collection. I just think that floral prints are amazing! They also shout that it's Spring to the world!

H&M Floral Shirt

The next place that I have found stuff that I have loved on the internet is Burton. Burton have a sale on at the moment. I also get student discount on top which makes it very hard to resist but sadly everything costs nowadays and I know that my money can be spent on things that I need and nowant. Although, I do love a good shirt and Burton do some amazing shirts like this pink one. I do love a good pink shirt for Wednesdays! Click here for the link to the pink shirt that I am in love with at the minute. (I did find one that I loved that was on the sale but it has sold out so I have found another one that I adore!)

The one that I had found on the sale before writing had sold out so have this one instead. 

I have two places left that I have been loving the look of at the minute and the first one is Drake & Hutch. You may of or may not of heard of this brand before. They are mainly a male underwear and tshirt company. Now, we all need good looking underwear within our lives and I love the look of their new range but especially this black dotted one and this stripy navy one which shows that its spring,. I know that it might look a bit naval but stripes and patterns show that its time to experiment! Click here to go to their site!

The last thing that I have lusted over isn't a piece of clothing but is more something from the cosmetics section of the world. It is the Tom Ford fragrances. I have heard so much about these so I thought that I would pop into my nearest Debenhams and sprayed a little onto my wrist and within a few seconds I realised why this was the rage and fell head over heels in love with it instantly. I have been loving the Velvet Orchid at the minute and also love the smell of Black Noir. It's just so amazingly aromatic! I thought that it would be best to just link to Debenhams where you can check out all of the fragrances and lust over your favourite one!

Have you been lusting over anything at the moment? Have you checked any of the brands mentioned? Have you checked out the new Oliver Sweeney store within Victoria Quarter Leeds? If so then let me know down below in the comments section!

I hope that you have enjoyed reading my lust list! I know that its a bit different but its the best way for me to not stress out about my exams. I hope that you've enjoyed reading about what I have been lusting over and I hope that you read my next post!
