Don’t just buy a bottle, buy a whole dram experience. This Chivas Regal blending kit is a fantastic Valentine’s Day gift that will have you sipping on miniature bottles of scotch whisky, creating unique flavour combinations that are simply delicious. The kit includes a 12-year-old 5cl and a selection of 5 whiskies, with tastes ranging from floral to fruity, creamy to smoky. There’s even a pipette, beaker and bottle so you don’t need to shop around for any extra bits and pieces. Now that’s something you can definitely raise a glass to. 

If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you going to love somebody else? This print from illustrator and author Florence Given champions a very different kind of love. Give yourself a big hug, and remind yourself you are 100 percent that bitch, with an A3 or A4 print of Florence’s original artwork. Made to order and printed in 300 GSM Matte paper, it’s sure to make a welcomed addition to any room, providing you with a good old kick up the rear any time you may be feeling low. If that’s not love, we don’t know what is.

Keep things personal this Valentine’s Day, with this map of the sky that shows you all the constellations visible on the day you met. A cute, if a little bit soppy, gift for couples that are celebrating landmark years together, it comes printed on a 230gsm premium satin photo card in a variety of sizes. Ranging from A4 which is big enough for a desk space, all the way up to A2 poster size (so you can really show off), it even comes framed if needed. Simply fill out the date, time and location of your choice and you're sure to receive a gift that’ll make your person smile. 

Cremate’s incense is sure to get you swooning. Combining rich, aromatic scents from 100 percent natural ingredients, the hand-dipped cones are made in London by founder Junior Adesanya. Essentially, it draws in the rituals of burning to bring cleansing energy to the modern-day home, creating mini moments of peace through calming aromas. In this particular tin, you’ll get 30 ‘Middle Way’ cones with notes of cedarwood, cinnamon and grapefruit – a pretty dreamy combination. Don't worry about buying a holder, the lid doubles up as a plate for burning.

They’re the love of your life, they do everything for you, and you want to somehow pay them back for how wonderful they are. Well, this just might be the best (affordable) Valentine’s Day gift for you. This stylish box is filled with little favours to help you give back to your partner, ranging from breakfast in bed to back massages, a day out and letting them win an argument for once. Plus, there are five blank cards that can be filled out with anything else they want. Just make sure you sign the enclosed contract before handing the box over.

Are you a couple that’s obsessed with TV? Then give your boo the gift of being a cartoon character for the day, well forever really, with this personalised portrait. You two will get to sit on the famous brown sofa in The Simpson’s bright pink living room, drawn just like you’re a guest on the show. Choose the number of people you want in the portrait (you can include pets), then choose your background which can be customised, then add any other personalizations that you wish. Then, once you place the order you’ll receive a digital copy which you can print out.

Everyone buys flowers for Valentine’s Day, but they don’t really last all that long. Give something that’ll last. Specialising in succulents and cacti, Prick prides itself on showcasing unique and exotic finds that’ll really pop in your living space. Of course, we’re keeping things cheap and cheerful, so opt for the opuntia microdasys albispina, aka bunny ears cactus, a cute little fella that’s native to Mexico and known for its distinctive white glochids (kind of like tufts of hair). It requires minimal watering making it almost unkillable, so way better than your average bouquet from the supermarket.
