Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and here at Curvissa we’re hard at work thinking about what gifts we’ll be giving (and what gifts we’d like to receive of course!). Whether you’re looking for inspiration for what to give your special someone or you want to drop your other half an email with a link to this blog for some gifting inspiration, you’ll find some unconventional yet totally romantic ideas right here…
Conventional: Shop bought heart shaped chocolates
Unconventional: Homemade heart shaped chocolate fondue

Instead of the standard box of chocolates everyone gets for Valentines, this year why not surprise the one you love with a gorgeous treat of a heart shaped chocolate fondue? It’s super simple to make (it will take you around 10 minutes) and you can personalise it by choosing all of their favourite treats for dipping. We’d recommend strawberries, pineapple, and marshmallows- but the possibilities are endless. Cut out your shapes with a heart shaped cookie cutter and accompany them with this wonderful chocolate fondue set from Gifts365. Just remember to use great quality dark chocolate to guarantee gorgeous fondue.
Conventional: a fragrant bunch of roses
Unconventional: a fragrant beauty product
While flowers are nice to receive, they are the most clichéd of romantic gifts so why not mix it up? The gorgeous products in the This Works range are a fabulous alternative to traditional flowers if your other half loves a beauty product. As the name suggests, these beauties really do work when it comes to keeping skin healthy and there are a variety of products available, from sleep balm and shower gel through to gradual fake tan. We particularly like the In Transit No Traces cleansing pads designed to protect and brighten the skin. They even have a sweet almond and rosewater fragrance so you don’t miss out on the aroma of those much loved romantic blooms. A pot of these will set you back a similar amount to a traditional bouquet, but they’ll definitely outlive a bunch of flowers!
Conventional: Sparkly jewellery
Unconventional: Sparkly nails

Okay, so we don’t know any woman who would turn her nose up at some gorgeous new jewellery, but as an alternative (and more affordable) gift this year why not treat your Valentine to a super sparkly manicure at her favourite salon? It’s the perfect excuse for pampering, and she’ll think of you every time she looks at her beautiful new nails.
And, if an engagement is on the cards, nothing compliments a beautiful diamond ring like gorgeous nails! If she prefers perfecting her own nail art, there are plenty of nail care gifts out there to choose from too.
What are your plans this Valentine’s Day?
