In case you didn’t know, we LOVE shopping small here at 91 Magazine. So, at every gifting opportunity, we always turn to our favourite stores to bag the best gifts that we know our loved ones will adore as much as us. Whether you love Valentine’s Day, prefer Galentine’s Day or would much rather gift yourself something for being your truly amazing self, we’ve rounded up a small edit of lovely gifts to give on February 14th…  Pink yellow and white patchwork quilt, with the words LOVE WINS ALWAYS by projektityyny

LOVE WINS ALWAYS patchwork quilt – £380

Is there anything better that snuggling under a cosy quilt with your fave?! This one, by projekti tyyny, will also provide a daily reminder that Love Wins Always. Yes it does. This may be a slightly more pricey Valentine’s gift, but a patchwork quilt like this is for life, to pass down through the family. Not only that, but 100% of the profits of this quilt are going to UNICEF’s work with children in Ukraine affected by the war.
