Cheese Bakes Night In Selection, £35
For just £35, enjoy a cosy night in with a Black Bomber Welsh Rarebit Cheese Bake and Rock Star Cheese & Wine Bake, 200g of Black Bomber, 200g of Rock Star cave-aged cheddar, fig and cranberry crackers, and two chutneys: fig and apple, and balsamic caramelised onion.
I paired the rich and creamy cheese selection with oven-baked ciabattas, washing it down with a bottle of crisp rosé prosecco.
The Welsh Rarebit Cheese Bake and Rock Star cave-aged cheddar were exceptionally decadent and all together the set provides a budget-friendly night of luxury that doesn’t break the bank.

The brownie is rich, keeps for two weeks, and can be personalised with ‘Love You’ or ‘Valentine’s’ and the cookies, packed with thick chocolate chunks, are the highlight of the hamper – also lasting for two weeks although it’s doubtful they’ll be hanging about that long!
A perfect gift for a chocoholic partner, with a splash of personalisation to show you care – they are also completely vegan making them suitable for any non-dairy chocolate lover.
Cake or Death offers 10% off by signing up to the mailing list as well as free next-day delivery and a free personalised message – making it the perfect last-minute gift.
Valentine’s Day 2025: Best next-day flower services
Features writer Veronica Lorraine tested out Prestige Flower's next day roses delivery service:
“Prestige Flower’s Dozen Red Roses delivery certainly didn’t disappoint. The regal red long-stem roses came with a substantial amount of foliage, coming almost ‘pre-arranged’ – looking almost as good as the website promised and there wasn’t much to do other than snip off the ends, add in the feed and fluff it up a bit.
One week later and they’re still looking good – which is brilliant for the price and they were delivered on the day that was organised – and had clearly been handled well from start to finish.
You can order by 10 pm for next-day delivery – perfect for those last-minute panics – and you can add anything from chocolate, teddy bears, champagne or a scented candle – just to push the boat out. A decent deal!”

Cutter and Squidge: “The Perfect Match” Matchstick Box, £9.99
A personal favourite of mine, these shortbread matchsticks make a sweet, sentimental and budget-friendly gift.
The petite “perfect match” matchstick box contains six crumbly, buttery shortbread matchsticks dipped in white chocolate with a freeze-dried cranberry sprinkling on the top.
Cutter & Squidge offer a range of other Valentine’s gifts from hampers to date night brownie trays and also offers 15% off your first order and next-day delivery if you order before 4 pm.
Limited Edition La Gioiosa Rosea Brut x Yvonne Ellen, £7.99
Limited Edition La Gioiosa Rosea Brut x Yvonne Ellen, £7.99
If you have a pale rosé lover in your life, this La Gioiosa Rosea Brut is just the ticket and mimics Veuve Clicquot’s Rosé Champagne for a fifth of the price.
It is incredibly light, delicate and crisp to drink, making it a suitable accompaniment to any Valentine’s meal or even to slowly sip in a relaxing bath.
It can be gifted alone or as an aid to a bunch of flowers or a sweet treat.
Best Valentine's Day Lingerie 2025
The Sun's Sexpert Georgie Culley reviewed this Ann Summers Adore Amour Crotchless Body, ideal for those wanting to turn up the heat this Valentine's Day:
“I’m in love with this very sexy set! It may not be the easiest to get on but it’s well worth the wait. The hot pink colour and romantic heart-shaped hardware are perfect for V-Day. Although it may look cutesy at first glance, the detachable stirrup suspenders and crotchless cut give it a kinky edge.”
