Valentines day gift guide

Valentine’s Day has a funny way of sneaking up on us. One minute it’s January, the next you’re panic-buying petrol station chocolates and pretending it was always the plan. Fear not, this gift guide is here to save you from the doghouse.

Whether you’re buying for your wife, partner, girlfriend, or the person who puts up with your snoring and your parenting opinions, we’ve pulled together a cracking selection of Valentine’s gifts that actually show a bit of thought. From meaningful keepsakes and indulgent treats to practical presents they’ll genuinely love and not just politely smile at, this guide has something for every budget and relationship stage.

It’s not about grand gestures or Instagram-perfect surprises. It’s about finding something that says “I know you, I appreciate you, and yes, I did plan this”. So grab a brew, have a scroll, and let Dadsnet help you absolutely smash Valentine’s Day this year.

If you want it tweaked to be shorter, more tongue-in-cheek, or more premium-feeling, just shout.

Hydes Cyder Lyte Non-Alcoholic Cider

A great shout for anyone cutting back without wanting to miss out. This non-alcoholic cider still feels grown up and considered, with a crisp, refreshing taste that works just as well on a quiet night in as it does poured into a nice glass. Proof that alcohol free does not have to mean boring.
