Valentine’s Day is less than a month away!

You’ve only just got over Christmas shopping and all the red hearts are out in full swing! It can be really hard to buy something meaningful and appreciated for Valentine’s Day, especially if you’re the kind of person that spends time and energy finding great gifts for Christmas, birthdays and other events. Let’s face it, you don’t just want to give a box of chocolates every year!! So to save you trawling through the masses of Valentine’s gifts out there, we’ve put together a list of some of our favourites that are sure to go down a treat whether you’re buying for him or her!

1. Theatre Tickets

Theatre tickets. There’s nothing quite as grown-up or classy feeling as going to the theatre! If you or your partner haven’t been before, it’s an experience you’ll never forget, and if you have seen at least one show, you’ll know it’s a great evening that’s well worth it. The beautiful old theatres and small audiences make for a very intimate and memorable occasion. From classics like Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables to new favourites like The Book of Mormon and The Lion King, there really is something for everyone at the theatre.

All price ranges are catered for and you can pick up tickets for as little £11.50 each! Check out Ticketmaster Theatre for fantastic deals on all shows.




2. Chocolate Pizza

The “traditional” item to give your loves one on Valentine’s Day is chocolate. But you don’t want to be boring and predictable, do you? Get them this great Gourmet Chocolate Pizza, complete with its own pizza box! Perfect for pizza and chocolate lovers alike! Available here for only 9.99.

3. Sushi Making for Two

4. Personalised Teddy Bear

Teddy bears are another “traditional” gift to give on Valentine’s Day (hand’s up if you’ve ever received or given a teddy bear holding a heart saying “I love you”!). But what if you could put a twist on this classic by recording a message in your voice that your loved one could hear each time they squeeze the bear? Or…if you’re planning on popping the big question (no, not “what’s for dinner tonight?” the OTHER big question), how about getting one of the adorable teddy’s posed on one knee holding the ring? You can get them all here from Build-a-Bear. You could even buy a voucher from the website and go along with your loved one to build the bear together. Get it all here

5. Your Story in Photo’s

In this digital age it’s always great to actually have printed photo’s, and what better photo’s than ones of the great memories you’d made? The time you have had together, however long it’s been, has been full of special moments for the two of you. Celebrate it with a photobook showing your journey together so far. It’s really easy to make and there are lots of options for sizes and styles. You can add text too, so you can include things like the date you met, places you visited or things you remember from those times. Photo’s can be imported from social media, computers and smart phones too, so there’s really no reason why you should get them this. Order yours quickly to get it in time for 14th February:

8. Bracelet + Charms

No Valentines gift list would be complete without jewellery, so here’s one of our favourites – Pandora! If she doesn’t already have a Pandora bracelet, you need to get her one! It’s a great gift to give as you can keep adding charms to it for all special occasions. If you don’t know how it works, here’s a quick guide – buy a bracelet, pick some charms and some clips – the clips look pretty and help keep the charms in place. Rather than pick all the pieces yourself, you can get her a beautiful, complete one here. Prices start from just £99.

If she already has a Pandora bracelet then you can add to it with beautiful Valentines charms, some of which can be engraved. Prices start from just £20, check them out here.

10. USB Mix Tape

Do you even really love them if you haven’t made them a mix-tape? If you’re asking what a mix-tape is, then you’re probably too young to remember the hours spent putting together the perfect songs in just the right order and trying to time it so you didn’t have to cut off a song or have too much blank tape left on either side! Well, now you can create your own USB mix-tape, complete with the tape insert for you to hand-write the songs on! Compatible with both PC and mac, this is a true expression of love for only £14.99 (music not included).
