Design and Champagne are two of Gunpowder's favourite things, which is why we almost wet ourselves when we caught wind of this; a gorgeous Ruinart Champagne set, designed by none other than Paris-based architect/designer India Mahdavi. Pop open a bottle of this, and you're guaranteed to get some - and then some.

We're not usually ones to wear obvious logos here at Gunpowder, but when it comes to Playboy it's a different story altogether. After all, who could resist championing that cutesy-wutesy bunny wabbit? Having teamed up with two musical powerhouses, Playboy's latest line of limited-edition t-shirts are more must-have than chav.

/G-REVIEW
If you were in a rush you'd stride straight past the entrance to Bedford & Strand, a hidden gem in the heart of Theatreland. Behind its unimposing entrance just off Covent Garden, however, is a buzzing bistro in a cosy basement setting. We can't quite believe it's taken us this long to book a reservation.

There's a lot of pressure to give your loved one the big O this Valentine's, but if you can't give your loved one a toe-crunching climax then give them the next best thing - a romantic ride on the London Eye. With views out over London, you'll really sweep him/her off their feet.

You can pretty much guarantee that anything with a number in its name is going to be good - Bungalow 8, Ocean's 11, a 69-er - the list goes on! Which is why Gunpowder jumped at the chance to sample the bold new menu at 108 Marylebone Lane, a swish new venue attached to The Marylebone Hotel.

While we do adore Dior here at Gunpowder, our favourite French brand is lovely Louis Vuitton, and its new line of Valentine's Day goodies have made us fall just that little bit deeper. Now there's no reason not to make an effort, so give the gift of LV this year and and put a designer smile on your loved one's fabulous face.

Me Old China
/G-REVIEW
Everyone loves a good Chinese; dim-sum and Peking duck, after all, are the makings of a brilliant Friday night in. That said, sometimes we crave something from the Orient that's a little more high-end - something that serves up lashing of style as well as soy sauce. Enter Royal China Baker Street, the answer to our prayers.

Roll up, roll up, the Circus has come to town - and we're not talking about Britney's last tour at the O2 arena. Circus is the latest establishment to open up on Endell Street, and is every bit as chic - and freaky - as you'd expect for a high-concept destination restaurant.

Nestled in a valley on the summit of Mont Blanc lies a destination with a difference. Winter holidays in the French Alps may conjure up images of sweaty ski socks and swollen ankles, but a trip to Chamonix, the highest commune this side of Russia, could be just the ticket, says Emily Hassall.

Thin is in, but shifting the Christmas excess is no easy feat - particularly when sportswear is so damn unflattering. Fortunately, luxury car-maker Porsche has teamed up with respected sports brand Adidas to create a sexy line of footwear for posh pavement-pounding. Don't just slip into something comfortable - step into something stylish.

Sometimes we stumble across a design that stops us in our fabulous tracks; such is the case with 2Oct2031, a showstopping watch concept by Japanese designer Tao Ma. While its many faces mean it's not particularly easy to tell the time on, for a design this divine we're prepared to guess and hope for the best.
