This Valentine’s Day give a gift that saves lives…Le Creuset, the iconic cookware brand, is supporting the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) annual Valentine Appeal by making a donation every time it sells selected items from its heart shaped range.

Helping to create awareness for the campaign, as well as raise much needed funds, the range will be on sale in time for Valentine’s Day, so when you are looking for that special something for a loved one remember that by buying a gift from Le Creuset you could be helping heart patients across the UK.
