While The Times reveals Goop's 2025 Valentine's gift guide leans into aspirational luxury, there's an interesting shift in focus - moving from individual gifts to shared experiences. This trend sparks a perfect fundraising opportunity for school PTAs and Parent Associations.
Instead of the yearly scramble for business contributions, consider creating an enticing Valentine's hamper focused on gifts for 'us' to enjoy together.
For under £100, you can create a Valentine's hamper that rivals those celebrity-curated lists, while keeping it accessible and meaningful. And on trend for 2025 theme emphasising shared experiences and conversation.
The perfect hamper starts with thoughtfully selected couple's board games (think 'Splendor Duel' or 'We're Not Really Strangers') that are fun and encourage genuine connection. Add in some mood-setting elements like a patchouli-rosewood candle and Fortnum & Mason's special Valentine's tea blend. For a creative twist, include one of LEGO's romantic flower bouquet sets - lots of fun and a lasting alternative to traditional roses.
Complete the experience with Bolle's premium alcohol-free pink bubbly and Love Cocoa's palm oil-free dark chocolate truffles. Each item is chosen to extend the Valentine's spirit beyond February 14th, creating opportunities for ongoing connection.
This approach not only simplifies raffle organisation but also offers winners a carefully curated experience rather than just another gift basket. It's a refreshing departure from both traditional raffles and over-the-top luxury guides, focusing instead on creating meaningful moments for couples to share.
Remember, the best Valentine's celebrations aren't about extravagant spending - they're about creating opportunities for genuine connection. Now that's something worth raffling for.
