Our favourite food and drinks gifts for Valentine's day 2025
Valentine's Day always comes around much quicker than we expect and we understand how tricky it can be to shop for the occasion which is why we think a foodie gift is the best way to go for that special someone in your life.
From classic chocolates, cheese, steak and plenty of delicious booze, we've done all the heavy lifting for you and found some really lovely options for those foodies in your life.
If you're shopping for Valentine's, why not look at our curated gift edits, too? We've found the best gifts for her and him as well as letterbox gifts that you can send to let them know you're thinking of them. Alternatively, we've rounded up a host of gorgeous gifts for under £25 if you're on a budget, and found the perfect outfit ideas, too.
Looking for a special meal to cook for your Valentine? These are our best main recipe ideas for a stress-free Valentine's day.
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
Yiayia and Friends is a beautiful Greek brand with delicious olive oils, vinegars and sweet and savoury biscuits. We've been a fan of their extra virgin olive oil for a very long time so we knew the limited Valentine's bottle had to feature in our list.
Chocolate Gianduja Hazelnut Cake
This decadent hazelnut 'cake' from Fortnum & Mason is actually a solid block of fudgy, nutty chocolate and almost looks *too* pretty to eat. The rose petals add a lovely romantic touch.
Salt & Pepper Grinders
These quirky salt and pepper grinders from Italian brand Alessi are sure to put a smile on your Valentine's day. They'll never be hidden away in the spice cupboard - these are designed to be shown off and used with pride.
Rosé Champagne
Always Pan
A cult-favourite, the Our Place Always Pan easily braises, sear, steams, sauté, fry, boil, serve and store. We found it to be seriously impressive, scoring 84/100 in GHI tests. We love the pink shade but it's also available in eight other colours.
Our Love is Rare Wagyu Steak Box
This steak box features two Wagyu ribeye steaks, triple cooked chips, a red wine jus, a bottle of Fortnum's Priorat and a salted honeycomb chocolate bar so that all that's left to do is light a candle.
Tomato Borosilicate-Glass Oil Bottle
This adorable tomato oil bottle adds a quirky yet subtle element to elevate the kitchen. Perfect for keeping on the countertop and for those die-hard tomato fans (myself included!). You could fill it with extra virgin olive oil, flavoured oils or white wine vinegar.
Fiesta Stripe Glass Cake Stand
Show off any lovely homemade bakes (or shop-bought, we won't tell) with this colourful striped number from Oliver Bonas that will certainly put a smile on your Valentine's face.
“The Perfect Match” Matchstick Box
This is certainly a perfect match gift for Valentine's day. Adorable shortbread biscuits with a cranberry sprinkle? Yes please!
Bottle Opener
Anything from French-brand Sabre would make a great gift this Valentine's, but their lime-striped bottle opener is a great place to start.
A Heart-Shaped Box
We love a theme and aren't afraid to admit it and will 100% be gifting this heart-shaped box from Pong Cheese to our Valentine this year. Inside the box you'll find a creamy Neufchatel, vintage Cheddar, and Coeur du Berry (a goat's cheese). Plus, a sticky fig relish to pair with your cheese and crackers.
Stoneware Cups Set of 2
Enjoy your morning cuppa with these beautifully crafted stoneware cups in a set of two. Each product is handmade so gets a unique finish and hold the perfect volume for your hot beverages.
Alphonso Mango Vodka
Our food and drinks writer, Mel, says that this was her favourite product of all time last year, so it's come as no surprise to see this on the list as the perfect gift for a loved one. If you love mango, you'll really love this vodka with its smooth, tropical taste.
Cocktail Napkins, Set of 4
These adorable linen cocktail napkins would make a perfect Valentine's gift and feature four different cocktail motifs. The spicy marg one is my favourite, for sure!
MOTH: Valentines Gift Bundle
Take the stress out of Valentine's day with delicious pre-made cocktails from MOTH. This Valentine's gift bundle comes complete with Margarita's, Espresso Martini's, a French 75 and a fruity Piña Colada - yum!
