Five ways to keep the romance going beyond Valentine’s Day

February 7, 2014 By Emma Cossey

Every Valentine’s Day, a large chunk of the coupled up population of the UK throw up their arms and sneer in disgust at the concept of forking out for an overpriced meal, a tacky card or flowers or chocolate that barely lasts more than a day or two. They complain that romance shouldn’t be limited to one day a year, and it’s a holiday designed by Hallmark to earn them extra money. While there are elements of truth in all of these statements, none of them make the complainer sound particularly romantic.

Romance doesn’t just have to be limited to one day. There are several options you can go for that keep the romance going for weeks or months longer.

candelabox

Candelabox

I can’t quite believe, after several years of beauty boxes, that it’s taken so long to come up with a candle subscription service. But finally, one has launched. Candelabox will record your preferences for certain scents, then send you a box of handpicked scents to match. A monthly, cancel anytime box is €29.90, although the price drops if you opt for a 3 month plan.

knicker issue

The Knicker Issue

Pants in the post? Marvellous. The Knicker Issue will send a new pair of pretty, frilly knickers for £15 a month.

flower subscription

Bloom & Wild Flower Subscription

For £50, you’ll get three months of flowers delivered. So she (or he!) will get one, slightly expected bouquet, and two more surprising ones.

year of cake subscription

A Year of Cake

Who doesn’t love cake? For £75 (!), you’ll get an entire year worth of cake, delivered in monthly slices.

tshirt club subscription

T-Shirt Club

Romance is a two way street. Get the guy in your life a nice T-shirt subscription, so he’ll look stylish all year round. For a rather affordable £66, you’ll get 12 t-shirts, one each month, with either a design of your choice from their range or one they pick for you.
