Valentine's Day Gift Guide
If you're looking for some Valentine's Day gift inspiration or unique gifts then hopefully I can help solve a problem.
Have a look at the ideas below to see if I can assist - please give me a shout on social media or email me (orders@ollieandfred.co.uk) if you have any questions.
I can send any of the below directly to the recipient or why not surprise your loved one at work (although approach this idea with caution as some people may not like the attention!) Kath x
Lambswool scarves
My lambswool scarves are very good quality and will last for years and years. I've had mine for three years now and it's still looks exactly the same! We've still got a few months of winter to go and I wear mine with a blazer in spring.
Lambswool is amazing, although I didn't discover all of its naturally occurring properties until I started to research the benefits of it.
Lambswool regulates your body temperature. If you're hot it will keep you cool and dry by transferring the moisture and heat away from your body. If you're cold it will insulate you and retain the heat.
Lambswool has a water-repellent outer layer.
Lambswool is stain-resistant. Dirt can be easily cleaned away as it sits on the fabric's surface.
Lambswool is a great choice for asthma or allergy sufferers as it is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites.
Lambswool will never melt like synthetic fabrics because it's naturally flame resistant.
All my lambswool scarves are made in Scotland at a family run mill and are delivered gift-wrapped in tissue paper.
They will make fantastic and very useful Valentine's Day gifts as all we are allowed to do at the moment is go for walks!

One of my best sellers and a wonderful Valentine's gift to send to your partner. Each of the distinctive colours has a specific meaning relating to the suffragette movement in the UK: green for hope, white for purity, and purple for loyalty.
The 'sylvia' suffragette scarf is soft and delicate, being made from a blend of silk and modal. I donate 20% of profit from all sales of the 'sylvia' suffragette scarf to The Pankhurst Trust.
It is gift-wrapped in purple tissue paper, boxed, and I can include a personalised handwritten gift message.
It's a great gift idea for women in business, history teachers, feminists and people who admire strong Manchester women like Sylvia Pankhurst.
Lightning bolt scarf
This fantastic lightning bolt scarf is influenced by the iconic David Bowie character, Aladdin Sane.
The scarf is super soft and delicate. It's a perfect gift for any music fan.
Gift wrapped in blue tissue paper. Please let me know if you'd like to include a free handwritten message.
Neck Warmers
This is the third year I've had these lovely neck warmers made for me by a family owned mill in Scotland and they're as popular as ever. I've had so much fantastic feedback about these super warm but super lightweight Merino neck warmers from people going on expeditions to the Arctic circle to people using them to stay warm whilst working outside or in outhouses.
I love wearing mine at home during the day to keep me warm so that I don't have to keep cranking the heating up. They don't dangle in front of you the same way that a scarf does so they're very handy if you're crafting or just sat working at your laptop. They're made from 100% Merino wool but they are very lightweight so you don't get too hot.
They make fantastic gifts for cyclists, walkers, builders, skiers, people who work from home, gardeners, wild water swimmers and they're very stretchy so they're suitable for men and women.
Available in 4 colours but the red is perfect for Valentine's Day. It is delivered gift-wrapped in red tissue paper and I can add a free handwritten gift message. Get yours here.

The honey clutch bag is super soft and luxurious. It's made in Devon with the most beautifully high quality bee-striped faux fur.
