Cliché-proof Valentine’s gifts that are 100% more romantic than petrol station flowers.

Love it? Loathe it? Wing it? From the spirit-lifting at-home spa kit for your best friend, or your new favourite homemade mug from your little one, to spoiling your fur baby even more or that ‘just because’ something from you to you (with love) – here are a few Valentine’s gift ideas for people who love to hate to V-Day, then enjoy it anyway.

Spa day at home

The one for anyone who can’t justify hundreds of pounds on spa days every month (aka all of us), how about the Bulldog Skincare Bundle, £19 or the Sanctuary Lost in the Spa moment, £20 from Superdrug injecting instant luxury to your at-home spa day.

Foodies

Is their love language a box of homemade French macarons or kisses of the chocolate variety? It’s definitely okay to indulge a little (or a lot!) on Valentine’s Day and the sweetest gifts are often the yummiest, so go ahead and eat your heart out!
