With Valentine’s Day less than a week away it can be stressful to come up with date ideas and gifts. Even if you’re doing Galentine’s it can be hard to know what to do, wear or bring. Whether you’re going out or staying in, a bottle of Bijou is a perfect gift for the one(s) you love.
Going out
If you are braving the fray of Valentine’s dinners, and fighting for the limited reservations, it may be expected for you to bring a gift. Bijou, french for jewel, makes a great gift due to the elegant and minimalist aesthetic of the bottles. Their premium appearance is sure to make anyone swoon. Not only do all Bijou wines look the part, but the portfolio is multi-award winning and available on every continent. Wherever you are in the world, you too can be transported to the romance of the French Riviera with every sip.
Amid all the bad press, Valentine’s Day gets a lot of criticism for its wastefulness. Plastic chocolate wrappers, little bears that a grown adult might not want or need, and gifts for the sake of gifting have all come under fire in the last few years. You can gift with a clear conscience a bottle of Bijou, who are innovators of sustainability. The wines are sourced from HVE Level 3 Certified vineyards, which prioritize responsible agricultural practices. The wines are offered in lightweight bottles, exponentially cutting transport emissions.
Staying In
Many people are trying to avoid the crowds this year, and staying in offers a perfect opportunity for a range of fun dates with the ones you love. Board Game Nights, Painting, or just having a good old-fashioned dance over the kitchen floor, are all good candidates for making some fun and romantic memories.
If you have taken up the gauntlet of cooking Valentine’s Day Dinner, a perfect wine pairing is a great way to show off your culinary finesse. Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose is the perfect choice for white meat, fish, and salads. If you’re planning to rustle up a steak dinner, the robust and complex flavor profile of Éminence de Bijou will make a wonderful companion to your meal.
A toast of love is a very traditional way to declare your affection. Why not divert from the traditional route of champagne, and embrace the holiday colours with an exquisite bottle of Ma Chérie? The gorgeous, pale salmon colour, and the soft notes of wild strawberries and orange blossom will elevate your toast (and pair beautifully with your dessert). Me Chérie, a certain crowd-pleaser, will also be a hit with your friends and family.
Whatever you’re doing this Valentine’s Day, we hope you are enjoying time spent with the people you love, and indulging in a glass or two.
