Valentine’s Day is a bit of a funny one; it can go one of many ways. It’s either a huge, unforgiving slap-in-the-face to remind you of your single status, a great excuse for a boozy romantic dinner with your other half, a love-filled celebration with your BFFs or absolutely nothing at all.
We have to admit, we’ve been partial to letting it slip under the radar in past years – but in 2020, we’re pulling out all the stops.
Whether you love or loathe V-Day, there’s no denying that it’s fast approaching. And single or not, it’s the perfect excuse to brighten up an otherwise dreary February and shower the woman in your life with gifts.
There’s no need to worry if you don’t have a special someone in your life to shop for, either. This gift guide is just as relevant to you. V-Day is the perfect excuse to treat yo’self, dontcha know. Or how about treating your besties to a little something? Galentines > Valentine’s 4eva.
The classic choices of flowers and chocolates are a good place to start, but to be honest? We think you can do a whole lot better than that. Buying something a bit more original is a strategic move and will earn you some serious brownie points with your girlfriend, wife or friends.
Use this round-up of gifts to inspire your purchase (or bookmark the page and leave it open as a subtle hint to your OH – they need all the help they can get, right?).
