You’ve just started dating someone and it’s already Valentine’s Day, EEK! Do you or don’t you get them a gift, whilst also low-key hoping you receive something yourself. Whether it’s a situationship, your new ‘it’s the one’ or a sneaky link, the smallest of gestures goes a long way. It’s still early doors though, so remember to keep your cool..
The minefield of gifting for the annual celebration of love can be daunting, but take the pressure off by knowing they’re probably feeling the same way. You could play it safe with flowers and a card, but going that extra mile is sure to make a bigger difference.
So, what on earth do you buy them? Whether you’re on a budget or not we’re here to help you navigate through the 14th Feb with ease. Think sweet-smelling fragrances, edible treats, or an event for you both to enjoy. Whichever you choose we know it will earn you serious brownie points with whoever is on the receiving end.
