Happy Valentine’s Day to all those in love with someone, those who want to treat themselves or their friends. Love can he showed all year round but on the 14th of February, you have a chance to be extra soppy.
In this post, I have been gifted some items which will show a * others are my own insertions.
*Asda Photo
As you know I am a huge fan of Asda Photo I have been using their services for so many years now, I have lost count. Forever being one step ahead, they are always expanding their ideas to find that one perfect gift not only for valentines for all occasions but let’s focus on love today.
Photo Block
RRP: £13.00 – £28.00
Slate/ceramic, metal, you name it you can put a photo on it and showcase it in your house /office. I love the new Photo blocks. A Modern design to catch anyone’s attention from across the room. I would recommend placing in a light spot of your house we have this beauty in our en-suite.
Holiday memories are the best to reminisce. since moving into our new home we have been building up a range of holiday memories to place around the house. This dolphin Photo block is the newest of our collection.
This was taken on our last day in Las Vegas we visited the Secret gardens and Dolphin habitat after we checked out and managed to get some amazing photos. It was a lovely way to finish off our trip. I must admit it was absolutely scorching, we are talking 41 degrees! So, I may have burnt a little after taking some photos. I can’t remember if this photo was taken by myself or Luke but isn’t it mesmerising? What would you choose to put on your photo block?
Photo Book
RRP: from £6.00
Do you find you take a million photos and forget to look back? Asda Photo has a great collection of photo books with different finishes. From gloss to matte you can customise your booklets. This is perfect for you to organise into a book. All printed for you to pop on your bookshelf/coffee table and have them to hand when you want to wish you were there again. Just turn the heating up and grab a cocktail, sit back and reminisce.
How do I do it?
Start your project first by selecting what you want to personalise from the homepage.
Select your Book type size and paper finish. Create now > the screen will explain how to use it.
I click on Add photos. You have a selection of how to upload your memories.
Once this is complete now it’s time to get creative. Warning this can take hours but I guarantee lots of fun!
Are you ready to place your order? There is plenty time to get your orders in before V-Day. Did you know you can also stop by the Asda Photo section in your local ASDA? No need to worry if you have left it a little late, just pop into store when you are doing your essential food shop. Don’t forget your mask!
Feather & Down
RRP: from £6.00
I know we can’t travel right now, but these are perfect for keeping in your handbag, travel bag or suitcase when you go away! Could be a work trip or a sleepover just somewhere that’s not your own bed. I swear by these sprays if I have a cold I use the Breathe well collection and when I don’t I use the original. I find I fall asleep twice as fast when spraying 4 pumps on my pillow. My partner benefits from these too as the smell drifts over to his side. Oops! Sleep well 😴
Let’s me honest, nothing screams love to me more than decent night sleep. I am an absolute advocate for Feather & Down products. These have been my number 1 go-to sleeping product for several years now and I have the majority of my friends and family using them now.
From Body wash to lather your gorgeous body with lavender and chamomille sensations to a dreamy bath essence to slip into a calmness before bedtime.
RRP: £12.00
Turn your home into a tranquility zone. Spritz your bedroom and relax. Carry the scent around your home and enjoy a stress free valentines.
Enhance those sleepy sensations of yours and you’ll have your partner wanting to steal your products so they can sleep too! Who knows you may just want to use these all on yourself but sharing is caring after all.
I know my partner steels a pump of pillow spray now and then to help him ease into a dreamy daze. Cheeky!

Ideas for a cheap romantic night in
Pick a movie, raid the fridge, order your favourite takeaway and build a fort in your living room. its time to get all cosy. Keep the snacks coming, lie back, relax and enjoy each others company. This year may be a little different but no love is lost.
If you have Netflix maybe start making a movie list now so there isn’t any argument over who chooses what to watch, I know that can get pretty frustrating. Trust me, I am speaking from experience.
Cook your partners favourite meal
Here is Lukes favourite meal that I make – Linguine bolognese. I always like to add some fresh basil on top to be a little extra as after all, living with a head chef, I feel the need to impress.
Bake their favourite dessert
Lukes favourite is my Coconut and Raspberry cake.
I like to make Valentines very sentimental, so lets really add that personal touch.
