Practice self-love this Valentine's Day: 5 things to treat yourself to

We love love, especially self-love. And if you’re wondering how to practice self-love this Valentine’s Day, you’ve come to the right place. That’s right, 14th February 2023 is the perfect day to give yourself a treat as well as gifting to others. After all mums, you deserve it. Prepare to shower yourself with love with these gorgeous Valentine’s Day gifts. Happy Valentine’s Day Mum!


  • Stay stylish 24/7 with the Elegant Nursery Bag by Savio Firmino
  • There’s nothing more elegant to treat yourself to this Valentine’s Day present from The Baby Cot Shop. Not only is it trendy and chic, but new mum gifts like this are incredibly practical for everyday life. Let us explain: it includes a handy folded mat for changing on-the-go, a comfortable leather shoulder strap and can be fastened to your pram when you’re out with your little one. Simply stunning! 

  • Try the Lovestruck Afternoon Tea at Peggy Porschen Chelsea
  • You probably already know Peggy Porschen from their Instagrammable cupcakes and sweet goodies. Well, to celebrate the season of love, they’ve created the Lovestruck Afternoon Tea (open until mid-March) for love-themed mum gifts and outings. Channel your inner Cupid and enjoy the delightful flavours on offer, from passion fruit tartlets and rose macarons to fluffy finger sandwiches and scrumptious scones. Out with your little one and need a Valentine’s Day present for them? They’ll adore the Kids Afternoon Tea (designed for children 12 years and under), complete with sweet treats of their choice, including strawberry jam finger sandwiches, a red velvet cupcake and pink lemonade. 


  • Gift yourself optimum comfort with the Grace Rose Cushion
  • Even though this is a decorative pillow for your baby’s cot during the day, it’s also one of our top gifts for mums from The Baby Cot Shop. An ideal cushion to perch on your rocking or nursing chair, it helps support your back and arms as you feed, bond or read to your baby. You’ll love it for its sweet ivory frills and removable cover when it needs washing – plus you can use it to dress up your sofa when it’s not in use in their nursery. Practical and pretty, it’s a total mum saviour. 


  • Book a night at Beaverbrook Town House
  • Nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day mum than this. A boutique luxury hotel in the heart of Chelsea, where you can escape for a night of relaxation? Yes please. If that wasn’t enough, the beds are canopied, bathrooms have Bamford bath products and there’s a 12 or 20-course menu at their Japanese restaurant. To top it off, in-room spa treatments are available, allowing you to unwind in the privacy of your bedroom. Choose from an array of services, including massages and beauty treatments. 

     

  • Treat yourself to A Mother’s Embrace Figurine
  • Don’t wait for someone else to buy you heart-warming Valentine’s Day gifts like this, get it for yourself! This porcelain figurine depicts a mother with her baby wrapped in her arms, symbolising the powerful, unbreakable bond between them. We think it should live on your bedside table or a special shelf in your home because it’s ultra-elegant and adorable. Every time you look at it you’ll be proud to be a mum – and so you should be. This is a Valentine’s Day present to treasure forever
