Unique Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for your girlfriend

Posted on by Jupiter

Updated February 1st, 2025, to add new entries!

[Ad- gifted products] Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. There are lots of lists filled with classic ideas that you may be getting for your partner each and every year, but if you are looking for something a touch different, you’ve come to the right place. These ideas are all heart felt, but with a new twist.

Posh Pals Swizzels Love Hearts

There is something so absolutely adorable about the different Posh Pals Swizzels Love Heart collection. From the soy and sushi to the more traditional love bee, there is something for everyone! I quite like the two plushie combination, with a little phrase on their heart. The single, bigger plushies are also adorable, especially if you find your love’s favorite creature holding an adorable love heart! These are a cute and fun gift that adults alike would enjoy.

6 Course Meal at London Steakhouse Company Marco Pierre White

6 Course Meal at London Steakhouse Company Marco Pierre White

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I do love a romantic dinner out, and the six course tasking menu at London Steakhouse Company, by Marco Pierre White, is a fantastic, intimate, date spot perfect for Valentine’s Day. Dann and I have previously been to one of Marco Pierre White’s other restaurants, which had a more casual approach, so we were excited to try out this one as well. There was a doorman who took our coat, hung it up, and then we got seated. Their 6 course meal had a menu with a few set items and some items to choose from – and we also selected things from the cocktail menu. Now, it’s worth mentioning that the lighting here was quite dim, moody, and romantic. So, it was a touch challenging to actually take pictures, but we did very much enjoy our evening together.

Visiting St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna

Visiting St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna

Posted on by Jupiter

When we were visiting Austria, our friend had set up a bunch of different locations for us to visit, that have significance in the area. St. Stephen’s Cathedral was one of the first on the list. This is a large Roman Catholic church that is nearly in the centre of Vienna, with beautiful views from the outside. We went in the wintertime, when there was a Christmas market all around the outside, which was so fun to see too.

Whirly Derby is a unique marble-racing game

Whirly Derby is a unique marble-racing game

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Product] Every other Monday, we play a board game at our local Geek Retreat and have a few shapes, as a way to kick off the week. This time, we played Whirly Derby with Robin, Dann, Amelia, myself, and Amelia’s friend who joined us for the afternoon. Whirly Derby is a very unique looking board game, being primarily made of metal and with rolling marbles made of glass throughout it. Setting up the board game is easy, as you sort of fold out a little cardboard base, plug the metal topper on it, and then add in the triangle ending bit, that the marbles come out of.

Project 365 - January 2026

Project 365 – January 2026

Posted on by Jupiter

I wasn’t sure if I was going to do this again this year! It was such a fun project, but at the same time, I got a little redundant with writing up my day each day. I also feel like we do a ton, and this really highlighted how much we do pack into our lives. I absolutely love having a packed life with so many adventures – Robin calls us an Adventure Family, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In the end, I wanted to continue on and do another year, though I do have a feeling (and know for a fact) that this year is going to be a bit different to last, with so many fantastic plans in store. There is just so much going on, but I do love sharing our day to day in these sort of diary entries, each month. At the bottom of this post you can check out some fantastic bloggers who are also taking on this challenge, though some post weekly or even daily!
