Research suggests that if you are really looking to touch someone with a gift, including a handwritten card might be just the way to do it.

This is after a study by the Royal Mail found that, on Valentine's Day this year, women were 13 times more likely to want a personal, handwritten message in a card than a gift.

So, it would be appear traditional personalisation is very much still appreciated. So, if you're stumped for a present idea, why not send a loved one a beautiful gift hamper, that comes with a unique greeting?

For a partner, the Cricklade Hamper with Love could be just the ticket, coming with Lindt Amour Luxury Chocolates in a heart-shaped box, both red and white wine, chutney, terrine, shortbread, coffee and plenty of other goodies. 

Alternatively, if you want a slightly less romantic but no less personalised hamper, the Cheese & Wine Favourites in Wood contains delicious classic combinations - wine, cheese, chutney and oatcakes - with which you can't go far wrong.

Both hampers come with the option of including a personalised message for your loved one, to say happy birthday, good luck, well done or just thank you for being there!
