Valentine's Day is just days away - and while many people will have bagged their partner something special for the event, others will be scratching their heads for ideas.

1) Date ideas poster

Date nights are one of the best parts of a relationship, no matter your age - but it can be quite tricky to decide on what to do. Thankfully, a number of retailers have scratch off date posters that will give you some inspiration - from a walk in the park to a slap up meal at a classy restaurant.

Giftindates have a 100 Dates Scratch Off Poster on Amazon for just £11.70, while Moonpig have a similar setup for £12. If you're looking for something different in terms of all-out activities, then The Adventure Challenge has a £39 book jam-packed with 50 challenges to get stuck into, with space to record notes from your experience.

2) Mixtape

It may seem a little old-school, but a mixtape can still be a cracking gift for a loved one in 2024. We've came a long way from taping songs off the radio on an 8-track, and nowadays a number of gift sites sell USB sticks that you can load up with all of your favourite songs that make you think of your partner.

Others meanwhile sell fancy retro boxes to list your songs of choice on, as well as a QR code to Spotify where a playlist shows all of your chosen tracks. You can grab a USB mixtape from GiftAGeek for just £12.99, a retro mixtape from Etsy for £9.99 or a personalised mixtape case linking to Spotify from AbleLabels for just £12.50.

How times change eh?

3) Beer pump

Many people say that food is the key to a partner's heart, but others would argue that it's a cracking cold pint of lager. While home beer machines were popularised during Covid - when all of the boozers across the UK were closed - many people still use them for a pub-like pint in the comfort of their own home.

You can bag a Perfect Draft bundle, including pump, glasses and a beermat for just £215, the Krups Beertender from Beerwulf for £149 or a Fizzics FZ403 from Amazon for £169.95. All of which make perfect choices.

4) Golden rose

Flowers are one of the most popular gifts that people receive on Valentine's Day, but the problem is that they only last a short while before dying. However, a number of retailers now sell gold-plated roses which will last for an eternity, as a constant reminder of how much you care about your significant other.

If you're feeling the love, Prezzybox sells a 24 Carat golden rose for £49.99, complete with a beautiful display box. Elsewhere, FindMeAGift has a natural rose dipped in 24k gold for £59.99, and MenKind sells a 24k golden rose in a stylish black box for £49.99.

5) Chocolate bouquet

And if flowers aren't your partner's thing at all, then a number of retailers are selling chocolate hampers shaped like bouquets. You can pick them up from Hamperwell, The Flower House, and Funky Hampers for a reasonable price - and in an array of flavours to suit your partner's taste.
