This Valentine’s Day, think outside the box… Instead of the usual red Roses, teddy bears and chocolates, why not opt for something a little different?

We’ve put together a list Culinary items that would make fantastic presents for your loved one – ideal for Valentine’s, Anniversaries, Birthdays and anything else in between.

1. Pair Of Mussel Eaters

If you’re both fans of seafood, these silver-plated Mussel Eaters will make a fantastic gift. Cook up a delicious batch of Moules Mariniere for your romantic meal and enjoy it with ease!

2. Cocktail Shaker

We know not everyone is a fan of fizz and as cocktails have made triumphant comeback over the last few years, so why not gift one of our unique cocktail shakers? Combine with their favourite bottle and any ingredients they might need to throw together their favourite drink to complete your gift.

3. Test Tube Vase

Okay, we’ll admit that this one does involve the mention of flowers! Our Test Tube Vases are an interesting way to display arrangements, making the usual bunch of flowers a little different.

4. Candle Pins

Rather than just gifting the standard scented candle, our Candle Pins are perfect for adding some character to what can otherwise a plain, basic candle. The best thing about these pins is that they can be enjoyed each time the candle is refreshed.

5. Mini Lanterns

Show them that they are the light of your life with our Mini Lanterns. Again, these lanterns can be used time and time again and are fantastic for creating some candlelit ambience in your home.

6. Octopus Stand & Glass Bowl

Perfect for keeping the bubbly or wine chilled, our Octopus Stand & Glass Bowl makes a striking centrepiece when not in use. Try filling with floating candles or flower heads for something a little bit different?

7. Octopus Bottle Holder

Rather than just gifting their favourite bottle, why not present it along with our Octopus Bottle Holder? Put it to good use throughout your evening, keeping that all-important bottle of wine or fizz safe. This piece also looks fantastic as a decorative piece, so can sit in pride of place until the next time you treat them to a bottle of something!

8. Watering Can salt & Pepper

Whilst a salt & pepper set may not come across as a romantic gift, this quirky little Watering Can Set is a lovely little present for anyone green fingered. Its silver-plated finish also makes this piece extra special, so whether it’s used everyday or saved for best, you’ll always be thought of whenever it’s used!

9. Lanesborough Drinks Trolley

If you’re looking to go all out this Valentine’s Day, why not treat that special someone to one of our stunning drinks trolleys? Another gift you both can enjoy, just ensure to keep it fully stocked at all times for maximum brownie points!

10. Cutlery Canteen

The gifts given over the Valentine’s period can sometimes be the throwaway kind - flowers will eventually wilt and the chocolates will get eaten so why not gift something to last?

Our cutlery canteens are crafted from hand-forged stainless steel, making them hard wearing and long lasting and with a variety of designs available, you are sure to find something perfect for your loved one.
