The most popular Valentines gifts are flowers, chocolates, jewellery, fragrances, or something that can be personalised.

Typically, the best gifts for her are the ones that capture that classic romantic spirit we all know and love. Things like a bouquet of flowers, chocolates, perfumes, jewellery or a personal keepsake are all timeless gifts, but ultimately everyone’s unique, so you’ll just want to focus on getting your partner something that they’ll love.

The best gifts for him tend to be blend of practicality and sentiment. Think about his hobbies and the things he loves for a springboard into great gift-giving.

Consider things like food and alcohol, experience days, gadgets, elevated fashion pieces or even luxury upgrades to things he already has (like a high-end grooming kit or high-tech headphones).

You can buy Valentine’s Day gifts as early as you like! When inspiration strikes or you see the perfect gift you should think about picking it up.

The thing you should really be thinking about is making sure don’t leave it too late!

With the partner who says they don’t want anything, it’s always a good idea to listen to the ‘why’.

When someone says they don’t want a gift, it could mean a number of things. They might just mean they don’t want things that will clutter their space, or for you to spend loads of money on them. Maybe they really don’t want a gift at all but would love to spend quality time with you.

The best course of action is to talk to them about it but if you’re all about the element of surprise then we’d recommend getting them something small but thoughtful. Think something practical, that they’ll use often but won’t add clutter.

We’re also a big fan of choosing experiences where you can spend time together – it can be anything from expensive spa days to special date days or low budget hikes.

At the end of the day, you know your partner best and you’ll know what they’ll really appreciate.

It always comes down to what the person you’re buying for likes, but generally speaking yes, flowers are still a much loved and appreciated gift for Valentines.

Picking the perfect present for a new partner can be tricky! You don’t want to go over-the-top and come on too strong, but you also want to get something that’s sweet and thoughtful enough to show them just how much you care. It’s all about hitting that sweet spot.

With that in mind it’s a good idea to go for small tokens of appreciation or low-pressure shared experiences, like planning a date or a fun day out. It doesn’t have to be anything expensive, but something that you know you’ll both enjoy where you can spend time together and make memories.  

You don’t have to get gifts for your partner’s friends and family, but it can be a nice, thoughtful gesture to show your appreciation. If you’re not sure what to get them try to stick to something inclusive and sharable – think a box of chocolates or a nice bottle of wine.

While there’s nothing wrong with going for a classic, it’s always a nice feeling to receive a gift that suits you to a tee.

So, if you’re looking for something more unique consider experiences you can share, like concert tickets or cooking classes, where the memories you make together will be one of a kind. Or opt for a more personal touch, like engraved jewellery or a custom-made vinyl for your music lover.

You could even try making them something by hand if you’re the crafty sort!
