Valentines Day Gift for Him<\/h3>\n

With the 14th of February soon approaching and our yearly attempts to step up the kind of surprises we give to our significant other, no wonder finding something special can be so difficult.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are some unique gift ideas that beat the usual bottle of Gin or the pair of trainers he wanted. Why not try an experience day? Is he a petrol-head? or an adrenaline junkie? or perhaps you want to treat both of you out to something out there.<\/p>\n

Trackdays.co.uk have a selection of packages that can be chosen from. There’s a range of modern, high-tech super cars to take for a spin such as the Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Gallardo, Nissan GT-R’s. Perhaps a few laps in a more refined beast from the likes of the Aston Martin DB9.<\/p>\n

If it’s outside the realm of race cars, oddball Ariel Atoms, drifting in American muscle cars and speeding through a choice of tracks throughout the UK, there are a number of alternatives found via the top experience days provider. Why not, go for an off-road drive from a 4×4 in the scenic landscape of North Yorkshire, jumping in the front of the giant Leyland DAF army truck or even roll around in a Monster Truck.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t end just there, there are so many other experiences you can treat both of yourselves to. Perhaps you would like to get kitted out in camouflage and shoot strangers with paintballs or dive straight into a set of activities that are not for the faint of hearted. Try tumbling down steep hills at 30mph inside a giant inflatable ball or dropping off a palm-sweating 300ft Bungee jump. Go a level higher, and get your partner to free-falling through the air on a skydiving adventure.<\/p>\n

HOW TO LET LOVE BLOOM FOR LONGER THIS VALENTINE\u2019S<\/h3>\n

\u00b7 UK water engineers reveal that filtered tap water keeps your Valentine\u2019s bouquet fresher for up to 7 days longer than unfiltered water*<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to UK hydration experts, Aqua Optima, the secret of doing away with floppy flowers, droopy dahlias and rotting roses, is simply to use filtered tap water.<\/p>\n

Aqua Optima, one of the leading manufacturers of water filter jugs, reveals that many of the impurities found in tap water can shorten the life of cut flowers by affecting their ability to hydrate properly. Using filtered tap water can dramatically improve the preservation of cut flowers, allowing loved ones to enjoy the bouquet they deserve for longer.<\/p>\n

Bacteria is the main culprit for shortening cut flower life. Water filters remove the organic material that bacteria can use to develop faster, therefore using filtered water can delay the wilting process.<\/p>\n

Tim Ackerley, Engineering Manager, at Aqua Optima explains: \u201cA plant\u2019s root system serves as a filter to limit dirt, micro-organisms and chemicals from entering and blocking its ability to absorb water. When the flower is cut off from the root system, it loses this vital filter. It is important, therefore, to always start with clean, filtered water in order to protect and preserve the flower.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other key tips to keep love blooming for longer:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Despite roses being the most popular romantic bouquet, people in soft water areas are recommended to filter their water to lengthen the life of their flowers.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Sodium can be present in higher concentrations in soft water and is toxic to roses and carnations, so will reduce the life of these flowers.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Always use warm (38-44 degrees C) filtered water as most flowers take in warm water more efficiently than cold. **<\/p>\n

Aqua Optima is spearheading filtration innovation by designing water filter jugs and affordable cartridges that fit the majority of water jugs in the UK and is now stocked in Tesco, Argos and Amazon to name just a few.<\/p>\n

Aqua Optima Director, Nigel Wheeler, said: \u201cWater is better when filtered and we want people (and flowers!) to stay hydrated with the purest water. Our jugs improve taste, reduce heavy metal from old pipework and remove impurities. With increasing consumer awareness, water filtration systems are fast becoming a must-have item for every kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aqua Optima is launching a #filteredwithlove national campaign to help people be happy, healthy and hydrated with pure water.<\/p>\n
