The Trevallan ladies know how important Valentine’s Day is and believe it’s a wonderful way to remind ourselves how awesome and special our loved ones are.
Sure, many of us think it's a little over commercialised, but honestly, who wouldn't get a little tingle up their spine when their loved one arrives home with a flowering plant and some liquid fertiliser!
Traditionally, red roses are the first choice for Valentine’s Day as they universally mean “I Love You”.
However, did you know that the Agapanthus flower stands for secret love and Caladiums mean joy and delight? A white camellia says you are adorable and an Orchid represents love, beauty and charm.... my kind of flower!
Don’t forget that guys love presents too. Did you know that any camellia given to a man symbolises good luck.
Maybe this is your first Valentine’s day in your own home and you want to celebrate with something special? Why not plant a love tree or keep a love tree as a house plant? Maiden hair Ferns symbolise a bond of love and the orange tree flowers symbolise eternal love, marriage and fruitfulness.
Want something a little extra special?
Trevallan has Soap Stone Love Knots that are made in Zimbabwe. Regarded as a symbol of the constancy of two lovers, legend says the knots symbolise the connection between a couple in love. It was even once common for sailors' wedding rings to be love knots. Gold wire was wrought to incorporate the lovers knot, such that the resultant ring would comprise two tori, each flexible to move about the other, yet nevertheless inseparable.
Maybe a quirky and fun piece of jewellery might be the way to go for a gift?
Trevallan stocks Little Dream Collection Earrings and Dimensional Chakras Crystal Jewellery. Both brands create affordable, distinctive and fun pieces that inspire confidence and joyful energy into whoever wears them. If you love something a little different, these pieces are for you.
Completely stumped? Why not get a few little things and make a gift box?
I love the idea of the Soap Stone Lovers Entwined statue, coupled with some Perfect Potion Products. The best Perfect Potion products for Valentines Day are listed here.
If you are without a significant other on Valentine's Day, treat yourself so you feel special.
Perhaps indulge in that Gerbera you've always wanted, or maybe that essential oil diffuser you are always debating about buying.
I know you can say "I love you" any day of the week, but sometimes it’s nice to also embrace the ‘commercialism’. No one ever said "Oh I hated it when my partner woke me up with coffee and a flower from the garden on Valentine’s Day!"
