Valentine’s gifts that don’t suck
If you’re looking for some cool Valentine’s Day gifts that don’t suck, you’ve come to the right place. Think V-Day has become too commercial, too cheesy, too pink and too frilly? I’ve got you.
Here are five ideas for small, thoughtful gifts to make your significant other feel seen and appreciated for who they are. You don’t need to spend a fortune either, prices start from £12.50.
It’s also perfectly acceptable to get a friend or yourself a little treat too. More love, not less.
Love You Scavenger Hunt Kit | £13.00
Spending quality time together can be the most important thing of all, and this dinky box of scavenger hunt cards makes a sweet activity to show them that you’ve put some thought into it. They’re well designed and will make a great keepsake afterwards to remember your day.

Love Mugs from Oliver Bonas | £12.50 each
If they’re a fan of coffee, tea or hot chocolate, grab them one of these bright and cheery mugs to show them how you feel. Throw in a box or bag of their favourite bevvy for a slightly bigger gift and you’re good to go. Oh, and there’s a ‘Bestie’ one for friends too, because there’s more than enough love to go round.

L.O.V.E. Print | from £25, customisable
If you know someone well already, a thoughtfully-chosen piece of art makes an excellent gift to give them a daily reminder of your affections. This quirky print is a perfect example, and we all know true love can withstand a vulture or two. And owls are cool, right? Would also be a great present for newlyweds.

Love Is The Drug Decorative Mirror | £75
Beautiful, striking, and it makes a very good point to ‘reflect’ upon (oof, sorry) while you’re checking your hair. Plus this mirror has a lovely foxed antique-style finish, great colours and nice frame. I love it with a wild and unreasonable passion, what with it being gorgeous and all that.

Hotel Chocolat With Love Sleekster Box | £29.95
If the love of your life should only be approached with an offering of deliciously decadent chocolates on this most romantic of days, try this box of delights. Heart shaped goodies in a variety of flavours to share, or, er, not. Conveniently designed to fit through a letter box, if required. They have all kinds of cute mini gifts too.
