A More Unusual Valentine’s Gift

At Handpicked we love gifts that you can personalise and though traditional roses and chocolate are always appreciated, roses perish and chocolates aren’t great for the waistline. The Handpicked Collection’s Founder, Jo McGivern, loves our Photo Frame Bookends and Managing Director Natasha recommends Handpicked’s bestselling product, the Photo Tray.

Jo says ‘The Bookends sit in my husband’s study with photos of our children that we had taken. They are a great addition to the room as they break up the books and add different levels. I love that they can be used portrait or landscape. He really appreciated the gift.’

Natasha says ‘The Photo Tray comes with a mount underneath the top sheet of glass. The mount is perfect for smart photos but for a more personalised and artistic approach, try making a collage the whole surface of the tray. Using a mixture of postcards, theatre tickets and photos works well. Theming your collage around a holiday is a great way of preserving memories.’

Each is an alternative gift for Valentine’s Day and putting photos in of your children or your favourite holiday will make a lasting impression. Both can be used to cherish special memories of your loved one and so are a lovely way to celebrate a relationship.

Handpicked Collection has lots of Valentine’s Day Gifts to choose from. Don’t worry, there’s still time to get for Monday 14th February; choose Next Day delivery before 2pm tomorrow (Friday 11th).
