Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. Love honours. Love protects, always trusts, always hopes, always endures. Love never fails. 

Chances are you’ve heard these words read at a wedding. They carry some beautiful truths and offer a higher standard of love that many of us have yet to experience in all its fullness. This Valentine's we are reflecting on the profound meaning of these words and how we can embody this type of love to ourselves and importantly to those around us.

At Recognised we view Valentine's Day far more than a day in the marketing calendar or a reason to accumulate more stuff. It is a day to show love. Whether that be for a life long partner, your closest friend or someone in your life who just needs a little love. 

Expressing our love to one another is one of the greatest gifts we can give and important acts we will ever undertake. Love never fails.

Below is a selection of our most loved and meaningful gifts to help you give love this Valentine's.
