If you're the kind of couple that doesn't "do" Valentine's Day, each time the 14th February rolls around you'll be familiar with quiet panic. What if your partner decides this is the year they're going to get you a gift anyway?

You've got two options: go all out cheesy and embrace the hearts, roses and pink, or think outside the box for a quirky gift they'll never expect. If you're in the latter camp, this gift guide is for you.

Want a shortcut to romanticising an evening in together? Mix an espresso martini in a cocktail shaker. Not only will you feel elegant and grown up, the caffeine will recapture the magic of the early days of dating, when flirtation was fuel enough to party the night away.

We love this set from Grind which comes with a cocktail shaker, vodka and both ground coffee and beans for the garnish.

Couples that clay together, stay together, which is why we love the air dry clay sets by Sculpd.

Their Valentine's collection features this ultra cute candle-making kit. Sculpt and decorate your refillable candle holder before pouring soy wax with a fragrance of your choice. You can even create your own letter stamp to give it a personal touch.

Swedish perfume brand Byredo is known for its cult unisex scents. Included in this woody discovery set is the popular library-inspired Bibliotheque and musky Mojave Ghost, featuring notes of ambrette and sandalwood. If they (or you!) fall in love with a new scent, you can redeem the cost of the discovery set towards it.

Whether you're single, newly coupled or long-term loved up, this ring making kit is a special way to celebrate where you are now.

Created by jewellery designer BFFs Katie & Kirstie, The Workbench's ring kits are a world-first. They include all the tools and materials to make your dream ring at home, before you post it off to be cast from planet friendly recycled metal.

If they're a Converse-wearer, they'll be delighted to own a pair of these beauties. A design classic, they'll be able to wear your heart on their sleeve shoes. It's also worth checking out Converse's 2024 Valentine's Day collection.

Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you the next best thing: these gooey, mouthwatering brownies. The gluten-free version is particularly special - light and crispy on top but fudge-like on the inside. Next day delivery's included in the price, so it's a lovely way to show a friend who lives further away that you're thinking of them.

This one's an especially great gift if you personally hate marmite. They'll be reminded of your love for them each time they open the cupboard to make a slice of toast.

Get all the joy of a polaroid camera without having to remember to bring it out with you. With the Instax Square Link you can print photos straight from your phone's camera roll to turn them into items to treasure.

Help them go from shower to showtime with this get-ready kit from Selfridges, featuring a face mask, cologne, bath and shower gel and more from premium skincare brands.

If they're always asking you to rub their shoulders, they will love you for this one. Urban (that's us!) makes it easy to get a massage, beauty or clinic treatment in the comfort of home. Just choose your treatment and the time and place, and a vetted mobile therapist will come to you at home. They'll bring the treatment table, you just need to provide some towels for a spa experience day at home.

Gift cards start from £20 (towards massages starting at £59), or get in on the relaxation with a back-to-back or couple's treatment.

Surprise them to an iconic London breakfast - in bed - with a Dishoom naan kit. You'll get all the ingredients needed to make a vegan or bacon naan roll, plus ingredients for a glass of chai tea each.

Carefully placing the needle down on a new record is a much more romantic ritual than hitting play on Spotify. If they're already a record collector, find something new for their collection at London-based Honest Jon's, like this from 'one to watch' soul musician Jalen Ngonda.
