Valentine’s Day – the Isle of Man way

I’m not a massive Valentine’s Day fan – February is all about the pancakes for me!!
.
Just in case you LOVE valentines, I’ve put together a little blog post to get you ahead of the game and getting the best valentines presents ever for your love 😍😍

How to say ‘I love you’ in more than words?
If your Manx then you NEED to get a card from island of social @islandofsocial – they’ll totally express your feelings in just the right way!

Or how about letting a ballon do the talking?! There’s some GORGEOUS balloons available from little big balloons –
