The Cornish Company Launches Galentine’s and Valentine’s Day Hampers as ‘Galentines’ Searches Rise

Search for ‘Galentines’ Soars 150%… and This Cornwall Brand Is Ready

Searches for ‘Galentines’ have surged by 150% over the last two weeks, signalling a shift in how people are choosing to celebrate in February.

Rather than focusing purely on romance, more people are marking Galentine’s as a way to celebrate friendships, flatmates, work wives, soul sisters and the people who show up all year round.

Now, Cornwall-based gifting specialist The Cornish Company has launched dedicated Galentine’s and Valentine’s Day collections designed for sharing, celebrating and indulging.

Swapping Flowers for Food

Instead of traditional bouquets, The Cornish Company is encouraging people to see food as the ultimate love language, whether that love is romantic, platonic or self-directed.

Its seasonal range includes limited-edition heart-shaped scones and the Giant ‘I Love You’ Pasty, alongside a selection of hampers aimed at bringing people together over shared treats.

Tom Woodley, Managing Director and co-founder of The Cornish Company, said:

“Valentine’s doesn’t have to be about couples and clichés. Some of the most important relationships in our lives are friendships, including the people who champion us, turn up with snacks and know exactly how we take our tea.

Galentine’s is about celebrating that bond, and food is the perfect way to do it. Whether it’s a giant pasty shared with your best mate or a cream tea spread for the group chat, these hampers are made for connection, laughter and unapologetic indulgence.”

What’s in the Galentine’s Range?

The Galentine’s Day Hampers include:

• Giant “I Love You” Cornish Pasty

• The Cream Tea For 2 Hamper

A Cornwall Business with National Reach

Founded in 2020 by brothers Tom Woodley and James Woodley in their family home, The Cornish Company is rooted in what it describes as a ‘born and buttered’ love for Cornwall.

The business was created to share authentic Cornish culture and to provide a platform for local artisan suppliers. Since launching, it has delivered hampers and its ‘pasty by post’ service to over one million customers nationwide.

The multi-award-winning brand holds a 4.9-star Trustpilot rating and remains a family business, proudly promoting Cornish produce, always jam-first, and with what it describes as a sprinkle of mischief and a lot of heart.
