Valentine’s Gifts for him and her – under £30

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching with February 14 less than one month away. While some people like to splurge on expensive gifts and luxury items to show their love, with many people still trying to save post-Christmas, a smaller token of appreciation might be more on budget.

Of course, you don’t need to buy a gift at all, with many people preferring to show their love through words of affirmation or by doing something special for a loved one like cooking a meal or running a bubble bath. But, if you do want to buy a little something for your special someone, but don’t want to break the bank, we’ve rounded up a few top picks that are all under £30. 

We’ve picked out some of the most traditional Love Day gifts, including chocolates, flowers, and lingerie. But, as well as gifts you can wrap up and give to your Valentine, we’ve also included letterbox gifts to send to those far away. 

And while Valentine’s Day does have a focus on couples, many people also like to send gifts to other people they care about including friends. Sending flowers to a friend or family member or wrapping up a candle in their favourite scent can be a nice way to spread the love. 

If you’re hoping to send flowers this Valentine’s Day, we have a full guide to the best flower delivery deals available in 2025 here. Or, scroll down, to see our top picks of gifts under £30. 

When it comes to choosing flowers for Valentine’s Day,  roses are the obvious choice, with red and pink roses used to represent love. Red roses are a symbol of romantic love and romance, while pink roses symbolise Aphrodite, the goddess of love, in Greek mythology. Today, pink roses can also symbolise grace, sweetness, and appreciation – therefore they are a perfect choice for Valentine’s Day. 

Part of Prestige’s Valentine’s Day collection, this bouquet combines traditional red roses with red carnations, eucalyptus, and cinerea for something that is romantic while still being elegant.

Prestige Flowers offers a selection of sizes to choose from, so you can save money with a smaller bouquet, or splurge on a larger bouquet. 

If Roses aren’t your thing, the brand offers plenty of other styles of bouquets.  There are also options to add several extras to each bouquet including soft toys, balloons and a personalised photo card. Each bouquet is assembled by experts and all deliveries are trackable to ensure arrival.

Not everyone is a lover of a colourful bouquet, with others preferring a green houseplant. Arguably, houseplants are better value for money if you want a long-lasting gift, with the ability to brighten up a room for years to come. 

The Medium Zamioculcas comes in a white Ceramic Pot and can be delivered straight to your Valentine’s door. As an added bonus, all flowers and plants ordered from Marks and Spencer come with free delivery and the option to add a free message. 

If your Valentine likes the finer things in life, why not treat them to a little touch of luxury with a bottle of bubbles and a delicious sweet treat this year?

Marks and Spencer has the option to deliver their Bellante Prosecco and salted caramel gift set straight to your loved one’s door – which is great for surprises and secret admirers.

To top it off, the delivery is completely free and you can add a special note to show your affection. The gift set comes with a bottle of bubbles, along with a box of 10 beautifully designed chocolates. 

Not everyone is a lover of sweet treats and your Valentine might be more of a cheese fan. As part of its “couples night in” range, Snowdonia Cheese Co recommends its Classic Cheese Gift Basket. Whether you want to send it to your Valentine or keep it to enjoy together, the gift basket offers all of the essentials to build a cheese board at home. 

The set comes with three “award-winning” Snowdonia cheeses matched with a pair of tangy chutneys. 

Perfume and aftershave are a go-to gift, whether it’s for Christmas, birthdays or, indeed, Valentine’s Day. And right now, Boots has an impressive sale including discounted aftershave and perfumes. While perfume can be a luxurious gift, with many people still in saving mode at the beginning of the year, the “up to half price” sale comes at a great time. 

A signature scent is a romantic gift that can evoke memories and feelings of nostalgia, or help someone feel that little bit more special. 

Some of the top discounts on perfumes under £30 include:

In celebration of Cupid’s Day, Marks and Spencer has added a new, limited-edition fragrance to its range of perfumes. The M&S Discover fragrance range has a whole host of scents to suit every personality and they all come at fairly affordable price points. However, the limited-edition Valentine’s scent is an extra special gift for the season.

Presented in a pink-hued glass bottle the Amore eau de toilette is a romantic floral scent combining fresh iris and rich jasmine with a zesty touch of bergamot.

And, like the rest of the Discover range, this romantic scent is an affordable £12.

Both feminine and masculine lingerie are popular gifts for Valentine’s Day, whether you’re after something that is comfy or an item that makes your Valentine feel gorgeous. There are all manner of intimates out there to choose from to suit your style, but we’ve selected a few top-sellers that are available for under £30. 

Rhianna-owned underwear brand Savage X Fenty is selling these cute yet comfortable Valentine’s edition knickers which come in a pack of two. In shades of pink and red with cute black and red bows, they are a subtle nod to the season while still being comfortable enough to wear each day.

They are also emblazoned with the words “Savage” or “Sweet” – depending on your mood this Valentine’s Day. 

Ann Summers is synonymous with flirty and sexy underwear, but this Valentine’s Day why not treat someone special (or yourself) to some silky new pyjamas so you can feel your best at bedtime?

The brand, which is now available on Next, has affordable options that don’t scrip on aesthetics. 

This satin cami Pyjama set features a plunging neckline detailed with elegant lace and adjustable crossed-back straps on the top. The set also comes in a range of sizes from extra small to double XL. 

For comfy yet cute boxer shorts that won’t break the bank, John Lewis has this Woven Seersucker Stripe Boxer Short Set for just £26.

The three-pack comes with a red stripe, perfect for the season of romance, but also includes blue and yellow boxers colours for underwear that can be worn throughout the year. 

Whether you live far away from your Valentines, are unable to spend the day with them or want to send a secret gift to someone, letterbox gifts are a fantastic way to deliver a present for your special someone straight to their door. 

Fortnum and Mason are a go-to for special hampers, and though they tend to come with a hefty price tag, there are some more affordable options on their website in time for Valentine’s Day. If you want to deliver a sweet treat straight to your loved one’s door, then the Love Games Iced Biscuits are perhaps the perfect option. 

The beautifully iced biscuit box comes with a selection of playfully hand-iced gingerbread biscuits depicting a love heart maze, a heart-themed playing card, two domino pieces, and Scrabble squares spelling out ‘You & Me.’

Moonpig is known for its range of cards and letterbox gifts, and this Valentine’s Day it’s no different. If you want to send flowers that can fit through a letterbox to your loved ones door then the Mixed Roses Letterbox Gift is a perfect option. 

The roses come in shades of red, buttery yellow and pink, interspersed with whispy Greenbell. Retailing for £26, it’s a thoughtful delivery option that won’t break the bank.
