Be Mine

2009 Valentine’s Day Guide

Whoever said you can’t buy love doesn’t know where to shop.

For your lady friend: a classic Yummi Glass heart or Missoma’s Flaming Hearts pendant. Proffer Love and Kisses, courtesy of Smythson, or a little New Blood Art to get the heart pumping.

Send your gentleman a love letter (free and easy) in Thomas Lyte’s Love Notes leather envelope or spell it out with a personalized chocolate bar (Cocomaya, 35 Connaught Street, W2 2AZ; 020 7706 2770). An ‘I Love You’ print will make him smile, as will a naughty knot.

Send any new conquest a tree (watch it grow with your relationship). Too cheesy? Play it safe with chocolate flowers.

The recently dumped can heal with a hearty meal from The Hungry Girls’ Cookbook, or indulge her wildest fantasies with Choccywoccydoodah’s edible willy.

It’s sure to induce a heart on.
