Monday 25th January is St Dwynwen’s Day here in Wales, a day dedicated to our patron saint of LOVE.
It’s celebrated in a very similar way to Valentines Day, so why not treat yourself, a loved one, friend, or family member because, let’s be honest…
we ALL need a bit of extra love this January.
Our local independent businesses have a range of treats to show someone a bit of love. Many are offering hand delivery if you are in the Cardiff area, or items can be posted if not.
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING TO SHOP LOCAL
*Items can be purchased directly through the local business via their website/social media

GWW Love is Love Box / £55.00
Like most celebrations last year and this, it’s going to be a little different, however if there is anything we need it’s a little more love.
Whether it be a partner, best mate, mum, dad, daughter, Max the dog, whoever you love and couldn’t live without, why not treat them to a box of goodies either to share with them or send to let them know you are thinking of them. Delivered on St Dwynwen’s Day or Valentine’s Day. In the box they will find all they need for a great night in.
“We start with a bottle of our ever popular Casa Defra Lessini Durello. It’s an elegant non-vintage sparkling wine from the hills of Lessinia. Citrus and gently floral aromas lead to a very fresh and zippy palate with crisp green apple and lightly honeyed characters.
Also in the box you will find a bottle of Vigneti del Salento, `I Muri` Negroamaro. This wine is ruby red in colour, with purple hues. It is intense with notes of blackberries and blackcurrants. It is medium bodied and velvety, with good balance and savoury notes on the finish.
Then onto one of our biggest loves after wine: cheese. We have joined forces with Ty Caws to create an exclusive truffled Cenarth Brie only available from GWW. Made with black truffles from The Truffle Hunter and gooey Welsh brie, this is going to be something quite special.
Also in your box will be Peters Yard sourdough crackers to enjoy this with, alongside two pots of nibbles.
We will also include a bar of chocolate from Heist, a tiny independent chocolate maker based in Cardiff, Wales, which specialises in micro-batches of stone ground chocolate using single origin, organic cocoa beans.
- 1 x Bottle of GWW Fizz
- 1 x Bottle of red wine
- 1 x Limited edition GWW exclusive Truffled Cenarth Brie
- 2 x Pots rammed full of snacks and nibbles to enjoy with your wine and cheese
- 1 x Bar of Heist
- Traditional Swedish sourdough crispbreads from Peters Yard
- Hand written gift note
- UK-wide Delivery
