I have a confession to make… I don’t like Valentine’s Day. Never have done. I will refrain from going off on a rant (which lasts for 20 minutes… my friends have timed it), and concede that as much as I’m not a fan of V-Day, I am a hopeless romantic who has a soft spot for all things that feature hearts or a suggestion of slushiness. And give me the potential for a gift guide and I couldn’t be happier. So, here is some inspiration to make this year’s 14th Feb go with a bang. Wait, I should rephrase…!
