Whether or not you hate Valentine's Day probably depends on whether or not you're single. If so, February 14th is usually a time of grinning and bearing it as others make plans, coo over their loved ones, clog up the restaurants and cinemas and, worst of all, show off their engagement rings. If not, it's a time of romance, either celebrating a new love or taking the time to acknowledge that you're still going strong. In short: for one night, for better or worse, love actually is all around.
Single or otherwise, we're never one to say no to a gift - whether that's from our partner, best friend or ourselves. And while flowers are lovely and very much appreciated, opening something a little different on Valentine's Day is always special. But while it's the thought that counts, there is such thing as right or wrong. You definitely don't want to unwrap any form of cleaning implement. A ticket to an event that you want to go to more than your partner is not ideal. So shop with care...
If you're on the hunt for some inspiration you're in luck, as we've rounded up the best presents we could find. Send this link to your significant other immediately, and keep everything crossed.
Happy Valentine's Day! And remember, love is all you need. And diamonds. Love and diamonds.
