Best Valentine's gifts under £20
Selfridges Marc de Champagne Truffles
Chocolate doesn't get much more romantic than a box of luxury champagne truffles. Whether you're splashing out on a high end brand or gifting on a budget, we've got you covered this Valentine's day. Our expert panel of chocolatiers blind-tasted boxes from the likes of Charbonnel et Walker, Fortnum & Mason and Hotel Chocolat alongside supermarket options to uncover top-notch truffles guaranteed to please.
We like Nicer than a supermarket box
We don't like Only nine truffles
If a normal box of chocolates doesn't quite cut it, you could try picking up a box of these luxury champagne truffles instead.
They have a champagne ganache centre and a milk chocolate coating. They're the priciest truffles we tested, but they make a fantastic gift that's a step up from a standard box of Valentine's chocolates.
See the best boxes from our taste test in our review of the best champagne truffles.
Pick up a box from Selfridges.

Cewe photo book
We like Lots of customisation options
We don't like Paper prone to scratching
Sure, you could post a cute carousel on Instagram, but putting together pictures of your favourite memories and having them printed in a small book is sure to be the sweeter gesture.
There are lots of options including size, details and covers. You can get a small square hardcover picture book with with 80 photos for £17.98.

A bottle of Best Buy wine or champagne
We've uncovered Best Buy and Great Value bottles from no less than eight supermarkets this year, so there's no shortage of options if you're on a last-minute wine mission.
We like Great-tasting bottles for less than £15
Watch out for May be out of stock in your local supermarket
You might be amazed at what you can get for under a tenner.
Our expert taste tests have found supermarket bottles that blow luxury brands out of the water, so picking up a few for someone is sure to make a great gift.
If you're looking for a little something extra to give, it's also worth popping into your local charity shops to look for some fun glassware they can serve their gift in.
You can read our guides on the best sparkling wines, best red wines and best champagnes to help pick a bottle. You can pick up these bottles from supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, Waitrose, Lidl or Aldi.
Dart board and darts set
Darts is a really fun and hilarious activity (depending on your skill level) to try at home. A board and a set of darts can start from just £20, and my partner and I have spent many evenings playing and laughing at some of our attempted throws. I've also discovered you can buy cheap padding to protect your walls, which has been useful.
We like Fun to do together
We don't like Holes in the wall
It's a bit of a wildcard, but a set of darts and a board could be a fun, cheap at-home date night. There are several games like 501 or 'around the clock' that you can play, too.
Just be mindful of where you hang it – you might also want to pick up some cheap wall padding so you're not doing any unintentional DIY when you miss a throw.
Get a set of darts and a board from sites including Premier Darts and Amazon or compare prices on the board used in the Premier League, a Winmau Blade 6 :
Loop Quiet 2 earplugs
We like Made of silicone
We don't like 24dB noise reduction might not blot out everything
If you're a snorer, these earplugs could be a nice gift to give your partner as a slight apology for any restless nights.
While there are other models available, these ones are made from a soft silicone that should be bit more comfortable to sleep on your side with.

It might also be worth picking up one of the best eye masks for sleep, while you're at it.

Guinness Nitrosurge and cans
The Guinness Nitrosurge was the perfect gift for my boyfriend – he loves it! It’s a handheld gadget that uses ultrasonic technology to create the perfect creamy Guinness pour at home. You need special Nitrosurge cans, and apparently, it tastes even better from a proper Guinness glass. With the current Guinness shortage in pubs, this makes it easier to enjoy a proper pint from home.
We like 'Pub-quality' Guinness at home
We don't like More expensive than the regular cans
If your partner has been missing out during the current Guinness shortage, this brings pints of the good stuff home.
All your other half will need to do is open a can of Nitrosurge Guinness, line up the device's nozzle with the can opening, attach and activate the device, and do the two-stage pour.
Compare prices below on a Nitrosurge device:
You can pick up the cans from supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, or compare prices below:
A Which? membership
We like Everything!
We don't like Waiting with anticipation for the next issue to drop through the letterbox

iFly indoor skydiving
Not being the adventurous type who would happily strap on a parachute and launch myself out of a plane, this may be the closest I ever come to flying. And the faces you’ll pull while being buffeted by the wind will make for priceless photo memories that will last a lifetime!
We like The thrill without the danger
We don't like Lacks the good views, unless you shell out extra for VR
If you're looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush this Valentine's Day, indoor skydiving could be a great activity for you and your partner to experience together. Instead of leaping out of a plane, you'll be 'flying' in a wind tunnel. Flights start from £49.99 per person for two flights.
While it's simulating the experience of falling through the air, you won't get the amazing views typically associated with skydiving – you can book a session that has you wearing a VR headset, but that costs extra.
You can book a session or vouchers from iFly.
InvoSpa Shiatsu Foot Massager
We like Easy to operate and clean
We don't like Heat can't be adjusted
Need a break from massaging your partner's feet? Automate it with this foot massager from InvoSpa. It makes a great gift for those who are on their feet all day and this one was one of the cheapest models we tested.
This model has six massage settings, comes with a remote control, and is used while wearing socks. The foot sleeves are detachable and machine washable, too.

If you're looking to spend a bit more (maybe on a gift you'll both use a lot), we've covered some good options for more pricey gifts.
A National Art Fund pass
We like Free and discounted access to hundreds of locations and exhibits
We don't like Paying for a one-off year is more expensive
If you're looking to get out of the house more and get some culture into your lives, a joint National Art Pass is a great way to get free or discounted entry on hundreds of locations across the UK. You'll also get special offers at some museum shops and cafes.
It's not just galleries either; there is free access to castles, gardens, parks, estates and much more. A joint pass includes two cards for two adults living at the same address and costs £93 a year (when you pay by direct debit).
You can get a membership from the Art Fund.
Celestron Nature DX 10x42 Binoculars
We like Water-resistant and 10-year warranty
We don't like Not cheap
If you both like to go bird watching or enjoy checking out the local wildlife from your windows, these binoculars make a great gift.
They weigh 629g and offer a field of view of 101 metres when viewing at 1,000 metres. They're also tripod-mountable, and were among the cheaper binoculars we tested.

Anker Nebula Mars 3 Portable Projector
We like Great for movie dates
We don't like Cheaper than some Best Buy TVs, but still pretty expensive
If you're looking to upgrade your movie dates without dropping thousands on a new TV, this projector is a great way to get a large screen anywhere. You can connect it through HDMI and USB-C, or you can stream from a range of services if you log into your Google account.
This portable model doesn't need to be plugged in all the time either, so you can easily take it on holidays or set it up wherever you'd like. Anker claims you can watch up to two and a half hours of films from a full charge.
