Buying a present for Valentine’s Day can be more risk than risqué.
Whether you have just started dating, decided on no gifts, or are many years into a relationship, it may not feel right to just entirely forget the day of love.
But if you want to dip a toe in Cupid's celebrations rather than submerge yourself, you need something quick, quirky and affordable – and that’s where we come in.
We have gathered a list of gifts for the lovely lady in your life that are either silly, thoughtful or a little of both without being too over the top.
And if you want splash out you can never go wrong with a show-stopping Valentine's Day bouquet.
