Towards the end of last year I was invited to curate a page of suggested gifts on the gift search service, Inkling - see the button to the top of the right hand column of the blog. Inkling, teams up with top bloggers, style-hunters and culinary celebrities (I introduce some below) so you can find the perfect present every time.
We've all been working to find you gift suggestions for Valentine's Day. On my page I've added some gift ideas at a wide range of prices. One of my favourites is Bloom & Wild, a flower delivery service that sends flowers in boxes that fit through the letter box, so your Valentine needn't be at home to receive them - good idea? See my Inkling page for this and other ideas.

Inkling co-founder Sophia Oliver says, “Inkling has assembled an impressive roster of experts who supply tightly curated gift edits, scouring the web for perfect gifts in their specialist subject. They do the work to get it right, so the thousands of busy working women, mums, fathers and professionals who use the site don’t have to. Inkling mixes the best of both worlds: smart algorithms to sort through the huge choice on the site, but the option to see an expert's recommendation too. It takes personal shopping to a new level.”
Inkling was founded by new mums Michelle Kingsley and Chloe Ross, and their friend busy professional Sophia Oliver, when they realised they just didn't have the time to trawl the high street for gifts any more. They needed a faster, more efficient way of buying their friends and family brilliant presents – and Inkling, which now has an audience of 2 million across its editor network, was born.
