We have put together a few ideas for GemLife Highfields residents to celebrate Valentine’s Day on 14 February.
HAMPERS FROM THE GRAZIERS DAUGHTER
If you are wanting to say `I love you’ with a beautifully styled hamper that is elegantly packaged and delivered directly to your sweetheart, then The Graziers Daughter can help.
The gourmet quality hampers are made from local produce from Toowoomba and the Darling Downs including Highfields businesses such as GF Oats, the Chocolate Cottage and Von-Katz Soaps.
The family business is run by Wendy Cook who offers pre-made hampers or custom hampers upon request.
