A Valentine’s Day Special…

Here’s a guide to buying the best for your Valentine, and it’s local too, proving you CAN have your cake and eat it! Even if your loved one does say ‘oh darling, it’s just over-commercialised, don’t worry about Valentine’s Day’, don’t be cupids devil Everyone seems to treat themselves on Valentine’s Day, well ok if you don't, u can't avoid the hype of it.

Here I want to show you where you can source the best of Jersey produce for that special day. So rather than buying a generic gift, support a local business. 

Bubbles are a Girl’s Best Friend

Instead of purchasing the first bottle of fizz you see on the supermarket shelf, treat yourself to an island brewed bottle of bubbles (from £19.95, available at Maison La Mare, King Street, St Helier) oh and they also make choccies, so if you’re feeling extra decadent, grab some of those too!
