Valentine Gifts

The perfect gift

It’s that time of year again. The shops are filled with cuddly toys brandishing fluffy hearts and panic fills the soul of many a man and woman as they hunt for the perfect gift...

Jewellery is always a hit at Valentine’s Day and Cartier has produced a bracelet that not only looks great, but also helps you do your bit for charity. Costing 435€, the unisex bracelet has a white gold central piece on which the word LOVE is engraved. It is then fastened with a coloured, silk, cord strap. The colour of the strap you choose represents a different charity, with 100€ from every bracelet purchased going to each particular worthy cause. Wear your heart on your sleeve this Valentine’s Day with Cartier’s bracelet of love.
