Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and you might still be wondering what on earth to give your significant other; there’s still time though, and there’s no need to break the bank – with our gift guide you can give the perfect VD present and score some serious girlfriend brownie points!
Cheap and cheerful
Picking a gift for a guy can be almost impossible, but there are always staple basics that a guy will both need and appreciate. One of these is boxers; No one wants to see a pair of droopy over worn pants, so buy him some sexy boxers and he won’t be the only one to benefit. A pair of boxers with a funky print is also great for relationships in early stages: show him that you’ve got a great sense of humour without scaring him off with something too serious! These cheap and cheerful pants will only set you back £6.00 from ASOS and are guaranteed to make him smile.
He’s got all already!
When buying a gift for the person who has everything, why not buy something you can’t wrap like an experience. There are plenty of great things to do as a couple in Cardiff; try something new like getting tickets to see Cardiff devils on the ice for costs as low as £11, or if he’s more of a rugby fan, cheer on Cardiff blues with tickets starting as low as £12. If your partner isn’t into sport, there’s always the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff Bay, and students are eligible for up to 20% discounted tickets – bargain!
Food for the soul
They do say the best way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, and who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate? A classic Valentine’s Day gift, but don’t settle for any old box of chocolates for your loved one, make it special with a personalized treat; Thornton’s offer a great range of gift ideas such as Alphabet Truffles to spell out a message of love for only £14.99, or make a personalized chocolate box with your favourite picture, guaranteed to make it taste even sweeter at only £11.99.
