Flowers? Too fleeting. Chocolates? Even more so. Drop a few hints this year and send this list of lovely local Valentine’s gifts to your beloved. No need to shop beyond Notts and Derbyshire – what’s not to love?

Stop and stare

Ok, so you may need a sugar Daddy on hand for this one but ahh, we can dream. A visual delight. A sumptuous, stop-and-stare kimono in a luxuriously soft stretch silk in the prettiest vintage orchid shade. Crafted in Emma Harris’s Derbyshire atelier, local Valentine’s gifts don’t come more special than this: a love-me-forever piece of loungewear decorated with a vintage styled French Leavers lace.

Passion for fashion

Bringing a cool silhouette and va-va-voom vibe, this short sleeved sweatshirt is a headturner for all the right reasons. We love the wide, elbow-length sleeves and classic crew neckline that make for an understated aesthetic while the fiery red does all the talking.
