Luxurious Afternoon Tea for two

Giant Heart Balloon

What says ‘I love you’ better than a massive floating red heart?  This one comes in well under budget and imagine her face when you walk into a restaurant carrying this one?  Better yet, imagine having it delivered to her desk, where her work will be buried and her face will be beaming. At 3 feet this one is as big as your love.

Damage: 90 SEK

 

Crème Brûlée Torch

Is your other half a keen cook? Does she love whipping up special treats in the kitchen? If so, this might be the perfect gift for her. Crème Brullée is a decadent dessert and you simply cannot get that gorgeous crunchy topping (which, when cracked, reveals the creamy smoothness of the custard) without a good torch. Trust me, I’ve tried!  The torch comes with four heart-shaped ceramic forms, so it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Damage: From 285 SEK
