i'm a sucker for buying presents so whether or not you like to celebrate valentines day is completely up to you - but i love any excuse to celebrate and buy presents. even when i didn't have a boyfriend i still celebrated valentines day and bought my best friend cupcakes! but, i would love to know what your opinions on valentines day are!
✿ film listography: £6-10
whilst i'm a coppola girl and alex is a scorsese guy we always manage to find films to watch and then quote forever after. brownie points for guessing where 'what kind of bird are you' and 'oh hai mark' come from… anyway we saw this listography book which was completely and utterly perfect so i went back and bought it.
what if they don't like lego or breaking bad? use etsy to look for other little trinket gifts inspired by tv shows, films, books and just about everything!
after seeing the daily mail cover the breaking bad lego style set i knew it would be something alex would completely adore. however, the real set is super limited edition and is currently on ebay for £905 so it's definitely out go the question. whilst looking etsy i found the tinderbrick store that sells breaking bad mini figures so i bought this walter white.

what if they don't have a vinyl player? you can use them as decoration, amazon sell a variety of different frames you can fit vinyls in.
something we never (and never will) argue over is a leonardo di caprio film - because quite honestly who would?! whilst it was a huge change from the precious angel faced leo i'd seen in romeo and juliet, the titanic (and to some extent the beach) his performance in django unchained was really quite flawless. whilst i'm not the biggest tarantino fan (but i do adore death proof, weirdly) i did think it was charming that the soundtracks are always inspired by his vinyl collection so i got alex the django unchained soundtrack.
what if they don't like the wolf of wall street? perhaps frame their favourite film poster or book cover.
another present inspired by alex's love for films! i thought it simple but a nice touch for his bedroom as he loved the poster and i already bought him the book (which i secretly wanted!).
i thought i'd make alex something a little extra as this popped into my head! it's a simple gift that requires very little and is very inexpensive. i made a list of his favourite films, googled quotes from all of them, printed them out and put them in this little jar to take out and read whenever he wants!

Such lovely gift ideas, all of them are so thoughtful. If only my boyfriend was actually interested in stuff! He really doesn't like presents and is a nightmare to buy for. xx
