After yet another challenging year, we’ve had an awful lot of time to work out what, and most crucially, who is important. And that's our loved ones – whether that’s our partner, family or pals. And any excuse to remind them how brilliant they are is a welcome one (err, hello Valentine’s Day).
But don’t worry if money’s too tight to mention – we have gifts starting from £5. Every single thing in this list, from candles to keyrings to jewellery, was selected as something we would be (really) happy to receive. So, whether you use it for inspiration yourself, or sneakily forward it on, you are sure to find something your favourite person will love. Even if that’s you.
