Gift Ideas for Valentine’s Day 2017

Nobody could say that we are not romantic here at Cooksongold, and we have ensured that our ranges reflect this with some great ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts this month. We have some fabulous finished jewellery and packaging for those looking for a gift ready to give; but also many projects and love inspired findings for those with a little more time to spare – and some of our favourites are highlighted below. There is still plenty of time to get prepared and avoid being relegated to the dog house this year! The Swarovski® name is a sure fire bet when it comes to gifts, and this pretty Crystal Heart in Amethyst will not disappoint. A little more subtle than red, the Amethyst colour will flatter most skin tones and is large enough in size (18×17.5mm) to stand alone as a pendant. Drilled through from front to back, simply attach a bail, jump ring or thread and knot a length of leather to create your finished piece These cute little hearts make the perfect blank canvas for customising in whatever way you see fit. Ideal for metal stamping, they make great name tags and charms to attach to an existing bracelet by adding a split ring or larger sized bolt ring. The good quality, polished finish is perfect for engraving, making these an ideal choice if you are short of time – simply stamp or engrave with your chosen design and they are ready to give, easy. The impressive range of letter and symbol stamps from ImpressArt make the perfect partner to the blank stamped hearts featured above. The font of this particular set is called ‘Bridgette’, and comprises of the full 26 letters of the alphabet as well as 7 symbols, all depicted in a lovely modern uppercase font. Made from hardened steel, these great quality stamps are suitable for softer metals (silver, gold, copper, brass, pewter and aluminium) as well as a range of other materials, including clay, wood and leather. If stored and maintained in their eye catching storage box, these stamps will last you for years. If hearts aren’t really your thing then maybe flowers are. For those who prefer something a little more understated, these little flower studs in Sterling Silver could be the perfect gift. Measuring just 7mm in diameter, they are small enough to be suitable for both work and play and are reasonably priced enough so that you can easily stretch to a gift box to complete the package. How about a Vintage Pink Earring Box (pictured above, product code 996 726)? Finally, for those looking to create something from scratch for their loved one this Valentine’s Day, why not make use of this fabulous heart mould ideal for use with PMC? It contains 4 fancy heart designs ranging in size from 2-3cm, perfect for charms and pendants. Make sure you coat with a layer of Badger Balm or Olive Oil to prevent your designs from sticking. As you can see from the above, we have plenty of romantically inspired items to choose from – so don’t delay and make someone smile this Valentine’s Day!
