Valentine's Day Gift Guide | #ShopLocal

February is the month of love but I want to show you that it can be done locally and on a budget whilst supporting local businesses in the area. Everything you need for Valentine's Day is right on your doorstep, and you can surprise your loved one this Valentine's Day with something super special and unique from just around the corner.

Here are a selection of my gift ideas if you're lacking inspiration, this might help give you an idea of where to find the perfect gift this weekend, in time for Thursday 14th February - by the way, that's this Thursday!

Goodwin & Belle, High Street East, Uppingham, Rutland

With everything from chocolates to chopping boards, Goodwin & Belle in Uppingham will have something perfect for the lady or gent in your life this Valentine's Day. I particularly fell in love with these 'Terms of Endearment Notes' which are perfect to pop in a Valentine's Card to show your loved one how special they are.

A Visit to: Rutland Antiques Centre, Uppingham

But Uppingham is also a popular destination for the world of antiques and collectables, enjoy reading about our favourite shop in Uppingham, Rutland Antiques Centre.
