A trip to Paris is like the royal league among Valentine’s Day gifts. However, for all of you who can’t afford a journey to the ‘city of love’ or just don’t want to travel that far, you can still get a present in the spirit of France. Because it’s all about creating the right mood. This is why today’s gift idea on our Countdown for Valentine’s Day is a virtual Paris holiday. Design your own little Paris at home, decorate with French colours, prepare some typical snacks and so on. We have a lot of products with France designs such as Eiffel Tower, French colours etc. which support your creativity and help you to create a very exclusive trip to Paris which your sweetheart has never experienced before.

It does sound kind of impressive, doesn’t it? Even if you deduct the number of fabrics we just restocked or got in different colours, there are probably nearly 50 completely new fabrics we just finished adding to our shop. Still impressive! At least it means lots of new choices for you fabric lovers. Choose from animal designs, flower prints or pastry patterns. We hope we picked some unique and interesting stuff for you and already enjoyed the Robert Kaufman material when it arrived. There are a lot of funny designs like the colourful farm fabric, the kitchen utensil fabric or the writing symbol fabric. And isn’t the cute heart cookies fabric a great idea for a Valentine’s Day project?

This is a classic. To give away cute plush toys to the ones you love is an evergreen in Valentine’s Day gifts. Nothing wrong with that, still we are going to modernise this ‘tradition’ a little bit. The plushies we recommend as presents in our Countdown for Valentine’s Day are still soft and cute but rather small. This makes sense, because as cellphone accessories they’re supposed to hang on your mobile. And as individualizing your mobile phone is a part of everyday life nowadays, is there a more modern way to say ‘I love you’? Don’t worry, they will look great on your bag packs, pencil cases etc. too.

So you already found the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts for the people you care about? Good for you. How are you going to wrap them?  Let us show you how you can pep up your packing for February 14th: With cute hearts deco tapes. And we have quite a few models you can choose from. Your gifts will look much cuter and more romantic with some colourful hearts on them, we promise.

And by the way, those deco tapes make a pretty good Valentine’s Day gift by themselves. Especially if your loved ones like to art&craft, scrapbook or work creatively. Heart Deco Tapes are our tip for today’s Countdown for Valentine’s Day.

Time for relaxation. No matter if it’s totally unpleasant outside, this Valentine’s Day you could be bathing in lots of love…and hot water of course. Today’s gift idea in our Countdown for Valentine’s Day is bath salt. Might sound unspectacular at first, but it turns into a lovely gift if you present it the right way. Prepare a nice bath for your loved one and pamper him or her with the nice smell of the Rilakkuma bath salt bomb that even reveals a small figure. Or enjoy the romantic atmosphere together. Create your little spa at home.

If you asked us to pick a favourite, we really couldn’t. Each one of these Robert Kaufman animal fabrics from the USA is so kawaii, we love all of them. It was a lot of fun adding them to our shop this week. We are not completely finished yet and of course there are other designs too. But the birds, elephants, dogs, turtles, monkey, cats and ladybirds got us hooked, so we make them our favourite product of the week. Aren’t they incredibly colourful and have lovely patterns?

Which one is your favourite?

For this one you will have to be fast, as it requires processing and Valentine’s Day is approaching. Still we want to include the super cute Michael Miller heart fabric in our Countdown for Valentine’s Day. Because there are so many things you can do with a good quality fabric. How about some special Valentine’s Day bedclothes, a cute heart shirt, an apron, bag or  iPhone cover? If you like to sew, this is the right material to create a one-of-a-kind and very cute Valentine’s Day gift.

When did you get your last love letter? A while ago? Ever? There is a very special magic to a real handwritten love letter, that’s why we present it in our Countdown for Valentine’s Day as a unique gift idea. And it’s so simple too. Just pick a nice and romantic letter set like our pink letter paper with roses, grab a pen and let your feelings run free. It will certainly be one of the most unique and personal presents you can make to your loved one. It’s almost impossible to mess this one up. Because who doesn’t love to get compliments and hear how great you are?

Pretty, beautiful, gorgeous. We finished adding all the Kokka fabrics from our last delivery to our shop. So now you can find the latest echino collection, which looks amazing. The designs by Etsuko Furuya are always really lovely, but each time we get new fabrics, we are blown away how vividly coloured they are. For example check out that new scooter fabric. Isn’t it super cool and colourful? We got the design in 4 different colours, so you can pick your favourite one.

We also got a couple of new Kokka fabrics designed by Nancy Wolff. These super cute animal prints will be great if you want to sew something for children. On two designs you find the word ‘Hello’ translated into many different languages, so the kids might even end up improving their language skills .

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. So why not get something cute for the stomach? We start our Countdown for Valentine’s Day with a culinary gift suggestion – kind of. This hearty little Rilakkuma Bento Box might not be big enough to hold food for a complete candlelight dinner, but definitely for a love snack. Prepare your sweetheart’s favourite food, maybe even a creative Valentine’s Day bento or some romantic heart-shaped cookies and present them in this box. Don’t be afraid to get cheesy, isn’t that what Valentine’s Day is for? The Rilakkuma Bento Box will definitely get you in the right love mood.
