It’s almost Valentine’s Day! Although it might not be the Valentine’s Day we expected to celebrate this year, we’ve created a guide showing how you can add a touch of romance to your home by sorting flowers, food and gifts with the help of Brindleyplace...
Flowers
Nothing say’s Valentine’s Day like a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and no one does it better than Brindleyplace-based florist Ethos. Whether you’re looking for classic red roses or something less traditional, their extensive collection can match all tastes and budgets. Their online shop also offers cards and small gifts to add an extra touch of romance for the one you love.
Better yet, you can order online and receive free contactless delivery straight to your door. If you live locally, take advantage of their click and collect service by ordering online or through the phone, then picking up in-store.
Food and Drink
Bring fine dining into your kitchen without any of the prep or stress with a food box from Pulperia owner Aktar Islam’s Aktar at Home range. Everything comes prepped and ready to go – you’ll just need to reheat. Aktar and his team have ensured that even through reheating, you’ll still receive restaurant quality food every single time so no need to panic. You could even be cheeky and tell your loved one you made it yourself – we won’t tell!
Aktar’s Valentine’s Set Menu includes a 3 course meal with Miguel Vergara Angus Ribeye steak as a main, bone marrow pomme puree, truffle fries and bone marrow & malbec sauce as sides along with starters and desserts. Browse the mouth-watering menu here.
After filling up on fine dining, enjoy an evening of cocktails at home with a selection of favourites at The Alchemist, delivered straight to your door. For £29.50 you can pick up four individual cocktails including Smokey Old Fashioned, Dead Red Zombie, Woo Lagoon and Lightbulb Moment, which are perfect for cosying up on the sofa with a film or having a living room disco for two! Order yours online here.
Gifts
Pick up perfect gifts and support local businesses at the same time with Ikon Shop. Although the gallery is closed, the Ikon online shop has loads of quirky gifts created by Midlands based makers, covering everything from books to jewellery, accessories and homeware. If you order your gifts by the end of January, you can also use the code JAN2021 to receive 30% off!
If you would like to gift something to use in the future, give the gift of Spa with a Bannatyne gift voucher! With a wide range of treatments to choose from such as Hot Lava Shell or Swedish Back Massage, it’s as easy as adding your amount and sending it on. It can be used once lockdown measures within Birmingham are eased and gives you and your loved one a post-pandemic treat to look forward to.
Finally, if you are thinking of postponing your celebrations and going all out once it’s safe to do so, you can book a future overnight stay in Brindleyplace at Hilton Garden Inn. Head to their website to check out available rooms and suites.
