Love Local this Valentine's Day

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

Share your love for local businesses this Valentine’s day with a Tavistock Gift Card.

It's the gift that can be used in so many ways - a treat to a stunning bouquet handpicked by an experienced florist, a beautiful outfit from a local boutique, a pass out or sensational dining experience at a brilliant local restaurant.

Here are our top ways to use a Tavistock Gift Card for Valentine’s Day.

FOR HER

Say it with Flowers

With the Tavistock Gift Card they can pick up an amazing bouquet of flowers or plant from a local florist at any time of the year. Consider it a little pick-her-up she can great herself when the week may not have been so great.

Treat them to a new outfit Treat a loved one or friend to a new outfit without worrying yourself about the style or size. Boutique 32, Brigid Foley, Dartmoor Country Clothes, Eskis, Image Lifestyle and Liquorice all accept this neat little card so they can browse at their comfort.

Indulge their sweet tooth If sweetness is their thing, they can pick up a treat from a number of local patisseries or bakers - Coffee & Cream, House of Cards, Karen's, Mime Cafe and The Original Pasty House are all on the scheme. Or encourage them to catch up with a friend over a scrumptious Cream Tea at The Bedford Hotel.

Let them treat themselves

Life is busy so gift them some #timeout. They can pamper themselves at First Glance, No. 5 Aesthetics, Partners, Vaughan's @ 34 or Visage. Perhaps they'd simply rather pick up a bottle of local gin from The Boutique Gin Shack or share some wine and cheese with friends when you aren't there. The SW Bottle Shop and Country Cheese are on hand to help!

FOR HIM

Give him a pass out

Give him the nudge to check in on that old friend with a cycle ride then lunch at Church Lane or The Cornish Arms. Check the bike is road worthy at Tavistock Cycles though before he heads out! Perhaps it's an after work pint at Too Hoppy that he would prefer. Either way, he'll thank you for it!

Treat him to some fitness gear

Maybe he needs some new running shoes but is kind of fussy about his feet. Runventure is sure to be able to help, and he'll enjoy the banter while he is there. He'll definitely thank you for it!

Let him treat himself

Whether it's a hair cut at The Original Barber Shop, Craft beer from Too Hoppy, the latest read from Book Stop, a new tie at Farley's Menswear or a lush bottle of wine from the SW Bottle Shop that floats his boat, give him the gift of choice. Maybe he'll just spend it on sausages or a steak from Downings or Palmers.

The best bit? Let him treat you...

We have shown you how the Tavistock Gift Card makes a fantastic gift for him but perhaps he could be persuaded to spend it on a lovely lunch or dinner for two at some of the town's most popular eateries. You deserve it after all!
