Valentines Gifts - how to be romantic without spending a fortune

Last Updated : 12 February 2020

Valentine ’s Day is the Marmite of all the holidays, people either love it or they absolutely can’t stand it. Which side of the fence they're on does depend in part on if they currently have a partner but some people just hate it either way. Where do you stand? We love it, anything that gets people celebrating love is a good thing in our books.

We have been browsing online for some really fun gift ideas for this Valentine’s Day to help you guys find something your loved one will enjoy without breaking the bank. We’ve tried to choose a few different things so there will be something to suit everyone.

Join the Craft Gin Club

Craft Gin Club Selection

Gin has such a huge resurgence over the last couple of years and so many more people are enjoying the once old fashioned spirit. Today there is so much choice out there and a gin subscription box and the perfect way to sample some more of the lesser-known brands. For just £40 per bi-monthly, monthly or quarterly package you get a full-sized bottle of gin plus an exciting selection of tonics and mixers and other snacks to enjoy. We love this idea for the gin-loving lady in your life.

YO! Sushi Sushi Making Workshop

A workshop that you can do together is a great way to bring you closer together and have a little fun with each other. There are thousands of things to choose from but we love the Yo Shushi workshop as its very hands-on and fun and we love the restaurant. You get to eat what you make afterwards which is another bonus. For both of you to attend it’s only £50 so almost the same amount as if you just went to eat.
