8 gift ideas to warm their heart this Valentine’s Day

Seaweed bouquet

A bunch of flowers is an enduring Valentine’s Day staple, but for those who find a fistful of roses to be a cliché, The Kraken Rum has an alternative offering – the world’s first seaweed bouquets.

While bouquets made of ‘kombu kelp’ and ‘egg wrack’ from the Irish Sea don’t fit the traditional notions of floral romantic gesture, The Kraken’s stunning seaweed arrangements will give any ‘normal’ Valentine’s bouquet a run for its money.

The seaweed bouquets can be ordered online through Shopify and arrive to the door as a finish at home kit - for recipients to arrange the salty selection into the ultimate gesture of algae-themed affection. Each box will also contain miniature bottles of Kraken Rum and ingredients for a seaweed cocktail to make this the tastiest arts and crafts session of the season.
