From the season of being jolly to the season and day of love - I guess everyone's attention goes to that day of love. I get in two minds about the day - its totally over commercialised and love and treats should be given all throughout the year rather then on just one. But maybe its just good for some absent minded lovers to be reminded of the importance of their partner.
Down that old, over crowded with tourists lurking, cameras in hand, pushing and shoving streets called York in the Shambles is a little little shop E.J. Freeborn & Son, a little shop selling wooden gifts alongside restoring and making furniture.
A quick peer into the window showed the display of fruitwood engraved wooden love hearts, worded with cute little notes 0f "I love you", "Be my valentine", "Forever Friends" and "I miss you". They are gorgeously soft and smooth to the touch, each with their own little distinctive natural patterning. Alongside these a basket of varying sizes from micro to large of plain love hearts.
If you're looking for something simple yet meaningful these kind of gifts are along the right lines. Too many people [i'm a bit cynical] spend too much money in an attempt to try and prove something, to prove their love, or to make things better. It's not about how much money you spend, or what you do. You shouldn't have to buy something to prove it, you shouldn't just do it one time a year.
