With Valentines Day around the corner I thought I would put together some ideas for him and her that could be something different to the generic flowers and chocolates (not that those aren't a good idea too!). We always want to think outside the box when it comes to gift buying but sometimes these things aren't as easy as we thought so here are some starting points for ideas.

I can put my hand up and admit that I am awful for presents. I never know what I want, always say "surprise me" and flat out refuse to give any ideas. It's more that I just don't know how much I should ask for and if I actually want it. But I love everything that I've put in this, so if you're reading Scott, here's some hints!

Vodka Infusion Kit - Homemade things are all the rage at the moment and each year without fail I try and make someone infused vodka as a present. This is a great starting kit for anyone that wants to give it a go!

Shake N Make Ice Cream Maker - I have the frozen yoghurt version of this, it's great and gives you a perfect helping of froyo that you can top to your hearts content. This is the same but for indulgent ice cream. Move over Ben and Jerry's!

Lush Lots Of Love - No female gift guide is complete without something from Lush. This combines all the best parts of their Valentine's range into a perfectly wrapped box. You don't even have to buy any paper!

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera - I LOVE my Instax. I try and document loads of aspects of our lives with it as it is perfect to pop in the bag and gives you a great nostalgic feel looking back at your photos.

Busy B Address Book - I am in desperate need for an address book and this range from Busy B is amazing. If you haven't checked out their site, it's full of practical yet gorgeous bits and pieces to use around your home.

Tea For Two Print - Neil is a great friend of mine, my place is dotted in his prints and this is a perfect gift for Valentine's. All you need is a frame to hang this gorgeous print!

Gossip Girl Mug - Who doesn't love a good Gossip Girl quote. This is one of the most iconic ones that is all about Blair's love for Chuck Bass. You can buy this, curl up and watch it all on Netflix.

Ted Baker Phone Case - I love a good phone case, I seem to change mine all the time to find something that I can spot in my bag or won't lose if Max runs off with it. This Ted Baker one is gorgeous yet not too over the top. The perfect combination.
