Levelling up

Levelling up

Looking for something a bit more special or personal than the usual supermarket chocolate, flowers or wine. Level them up!

Take a look below at some ideas to level up. Get creative!

Chocolate

Level up chocolate by avoiding the usual supermarket treat isles and opt instead for small independent chocolatiers.

Maybe you have a great one local to you, check out local Facebook groups to see what’s around.

Or, head to instagram where you’ll find tonnes of amazing chocolatiers, such as The Chocolate Smiths, who are so popular they can’t make chocolate fast enough!

Check out our chocolate page for more ideas on chocolate gifts.

Flowers

Level up flowers by avoiding the supermarket pre-made and opting for something a little more personal or long lasting.

Get a local florist to make a custom bouquet with flowers you know they’ll love! You’ll support local and have much more options on colours, style and size.

Not sure they’ll be in? Send letterbox flowers. Yes they come in a box, so it may not be the prettiest when they first arrive. But pop them in a vase and they flourish!

Looking for something that will last a bit longer? How about up to 3 years! Infinite Roses will do just that. And, they’re real roses. With a special preservation technique, they maintain there beauty for years to come. Just be prepared for a hefty price tag.

Wine

Next time you’re looking to gift a bottle of wine, why not avoid the supermarket and opt to level up.

Visit a local wine shop, where you can discuss a variety of options to suit any palette, or to find the perfect pairing for the next dinner party. You don’t want to turn up empty handed!

Looking for a wine to celebrate a special birthday, why not find a wine from that specific year. Take a look at birth year wines and find out what the best wines were for that year and season.

Finding inspiration for a gift can be tricky. But thankfully the internet is a wonderful place full of mostly friendly people. So of course, I have to say, a great source of inspiration is here, this site. This site contains lists of things, experiences, useful 

Local Produce Hamper

If your gift recipient is a bit of a Foodie, why not support local and show them some of the great produce that’s local to them! If you wanted to build a Local produce hamper yourself, pop to some of your local independent shops, delis, 

Restaurant Meal Kits

Restaurant Meal Kits

At the time of writing, the world is in a pandemic and people are being a little bit more cautious about stepping foot outside their front door. So restaurants have had to adapt and in doing so, Restaurant meal kits were born!

To me, this is amazing! Restaurant quality food, at home. Price wise, it’s generally a little cheaper than eating out but not by much. But what you do get as part of this, is restaurant suppliers, top quality recipes, and usually much of the hard work done for you.

I’ve personally tried a few of these and love them! They’re perfect as a gift to someone as a voucher so they can pick when they want to try, or to order in time for the special day so you can cook for them, or to enjoy cooking together without the stress, knowing you’re in for a treat!

See below a list of what i have found when it comes to Restaurant Meal Kits (there’s tonnes more!)

Give one a go! You won’t regret it!

Hoodie Blanket

Hoodie Blanket

Imagine having a giant blanket, that doesn’t fall off when you move around. Something you can tuck your legs into when you’re lounging on the sofa. Something so cosy, you won’t want to move! This is the perfect gift for those that love being cosy! 

Finding the Perfect Gift

Finding the Perfect Gift

Finding the perfect gift is never easy. For me, the best way to get the perfect gift for that special someone is to keep a list about them. Anytime they mention something they like, want or need, add it to the list. You’ll be surprised 

Buying for a Hobby

Buying for a Hobby

To get straight to the point. If you don’t have the same hobby nor know the exact thing they want, don’t buy something for a hobby.

You might get the wrong thing. Maybe they have their eyes set on a specific thing and you get them something similar, maybe now they feel like they can’t get what they want without feeling ungrateful.
