The best Valentine's Day gifts to make hearts race and love bloom in 2025
Ah, Valentine's Day – the one day a year where love is truly in the air (and often in the form of last-minute chocolates). Whether you're the couple who spends the evening crafting their love story with LEGO bricks, the type that'll snuggle up in matching Oodies (because nothing says romance like being warm and cosy), or the partners who bond over the art of choosing the perfect piece of fine jewellery, this day is for every kind of love.
Maybe you're the 'romantic classic' couple, gifting timeless pieces of elegance; the 'casual comfort' duo, celebrating with self-care sets that scream 'we deserve this'; or the 'let's get crafty' pair, creating something special together.
Whatever type of couple you are – even if you're flying solo and treating yourself – we've rounded up the best gifts to show just how much you care. So, pour the champagne, light the candles, and let's dive into some seriously heartwarming options.
This guide is sponsored by featured brands.

For the man who likes to mix adventure with sentiment, the LEGO 'Up' House (£49.99, Lego.com) captures the thrill of love and life's journeys. Meanwhile, if she's the artist in your residence, LEGO's Robert Indiana LOVE set (£69.99, Lego.com) will make a bold statement both emotionally and aesthetically.
LEGO is offering a sweet bonus with an included Celebration Series: Valentine's Day Box with purchases over £70, or Field Flowers with purchases over £35 – a blooming lovely treat while stocks last. Ready to build your own love story?
For a Valentine's gift that stands the test of time, look no further than the sparkling collection of VRAI created diamonds. Expertly crafted with precision and care, these diamonds shine with a brilliance that's as enduring as your love.
Whether it's a shimmering tennis bracelet (from £877, vrai.com) that's caught your eye, a dazzling orion necklace (from £413, vrai.com) or, maybe, you're planning to pop the question this 14 February, Vrai's 30 unique diamond shapes are sure to set your love in stone (literally). And with VRAI's zero-emission foundry, you're not just buying an affectionate present - you're honouring the planet, too.
