Valentine's Day Gift Guide: Top 9 gift ideas for 2019

It's just over two weeks until Valentine's Day, so it's time to start planning that special gift! Whether you're in the throws of new love, or you've been together for more years than you can remember, I've put together a collection of romantic (and some not-so!) gift ideas just for you.

• What should you get for your first Valentine's Day together?
• What should you buy your wife or girlfriend for Valentine?
• What can you get for your partner that they'll actually like?
• What can you get for your husband if he's a bit annoying and you're feeling a bit cross with him but still need to buy something..?!

I know, it's not easy is it? Sometimes it needs something more than a bunch of roses, you may not want to jeopardise their diet with chocolates, or maybe you just feel like you've done it all before?

Don't worry, take a look at my round up of the best Valentine's Day gift ideas for him or her - and don't forget, everything you see comes with free UK delivery too!

Brand New this month!

I've been working away on some brand new designs to add to my ever-popular 'Meaning of Name' print range - and I'm rather proud of them!

'Little Hare' personalised meaning of name print, nursery art from PhotoFairytales.co.uk

This range has been a best seller since I first introduced them in, what, 2011 was it? 2010? Whichever, it's not important - what IS important is that over the years customers have found them to be the perfect personalised gift to welcome a new baby.

'Heritage' personalised meaning of name print in blue, nursery art from PhotoFairytales.co.uk

They've been bought for christenings and baptisms, as a present for the new mummy and daddy, as a celebration when the newborn arrived, a special birthday gift, or just a lovely piece of personalised wall art for a nursery or child's bedroom.

'Heritage' personalised meaning of name print in pink, nursery art from PhotoFairytales.co.uk

Whatever the occasion really, it's just a real matter of sheer joy to me that so many of these custom name prints have found their way into homes and onto walls across the world!

Huge Flash Sale: this Monday - are you in?

Happy New Year! I hope you had a lovely, relaxing Christmas - although that seems like it happened ages ago now! January always seems to be such a gloomy month, don't you think?

In fact, it's been worked out that the third Monday in January is the most depressing day of the year - and this year that falls on January 21st: this Monday coming!

It has been designated as Blue Monday, based on a number of factors such as the weather, the shortness of daylight hours, post-Christmas debts and bills, the time since Christmas (and the amount of time since we've all failed with our New Year's resolutions!), and a lack of general motivation coupled with the feeling we should be doing something. Sounds like a barrel of laughs!

So, I've decided there will be no 'Blue Monday' here at PhotoFairytales this year. No, this year I'm going to put a bit of mental tinsel and glow around the date and instead I'm putting together the biggest, most discounted sale I've ever had at PhotoFairytales! A little something to warm your cockles and save you some of your hard earned cash this month!

Blue Monday Flash Sale: January 21st

This is going to be the biggest sale I've ever run - the biggest discounts on the most items: so don't miss out as there'll never be another like it!

This is going to be a great opportunity to stock up on an early Valentine's or Mother's Day present too - so why not take advantage of the fantastic discounts I'll be offering?

If you want to see all the discounts on offer you need to be a member of my mailing list - so, if you're not already a member sign up before 5.30pm on Monday evening to ensure you're on the list.

The Flash Sale will only be running for 3 hours, from 7pm-10pm - so make a date in your diary, set an alarm on your phone, or stick a post-it on your fridge door! Everyone on my mailing list will be sent full details at 6pm on Monday, an hour before the sale starts at 7pm, so you'll have time to work out what you want to order and be ready to pounce!

Don't worry, when you join the mailing list you won't be bombarded with emails - I only send out occasional newsletters, but they're a great way of finding out whenever I have any special offers happening. Your details are never shared and will never be sold to a third party, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Also, when you sign up you'll receive a fantastic offer of a free gift worth £10 when you spend over £15 - so win win!!
