Valentine's Day 2023 deals
If you're celebrating Valentine's Day this year, we've a bouquet of cheap gift ideas that'll keep the costs low and the romance high.
Romance is lovely, but over-commercialised pressure isn't and there are plenty of free things you can do instead of buying gifts. Why not snuggle up with a movie on Freeview, bake each other special treats or do some virtual stargazing online?
Yet if you are going to spend (there's no need), we've rounded up the top deals below. Plus, see our Cheap perfume guide for ways to cut the costs on your favourite scents. We'll be updating this page over the next week or so with more free and cheap gift ideas.
0 Current Deals
Valentine’s gifts shouldn't be about how much you've spent. Use our free Valentine’s gift cheques to make your other half a promise straight from the heart – pledge to do something nice (or naughty). Thoughtfulness melts the heart far more than a pricey prezzie. Promise your loved one a massage, brekkie in bed, or dinner.
For a homemade gift idea, see MSE Rhiannon's 'Fancy chocs were £20 at Fortnum & Mason – so I made my own for £3ish' blog.
WARNING! Things can go wrong with the delivery of flowers, and in the past we’ve featured deals from several floristry firms only to be swamped with sad messages after flowers didn’t arrive or, worse, arrived dying or dead. Hopefully that won’t happen to you, but there’s always a risk, so weigh that up before buying.

Online jewellery store Hot Diamonds* is giving a 40% discount off all stock when you enter our Blagged code MSE40 at the checkout before 11.59pm on Tuesday 13 June. The code's valid on all items (necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets), including those in Hot Diamonds' already-reduced outlet.
Standard delivery's usually £4.90 for orders under £70, but it's free if you use the discount code 'JEWELS' (orders of £70 or more automatically get free standard delivery). You can use the free delivery code alongside the MSE Blagged 40% off code. Delivery usually takes three to five working days.
Examples of good deals we spotted (using our Blagged code) include:
- HD x JJ hope ring* – £15 (£25 before the code, reduced from £50)
- Acqua D'Amore earrings* – £21 (£35 before the code)
- Forget Me Not drop pendant necklace* – £45 (£75 before the code)
This is the strongest discount we tend to see from Hot Diamonds so if you've had your eye on something, now could be a good time to buy. Some items, particularly those in the outlet, are likely to sell out – so it's best to go quickly just in case.

Valid at 416 UK gardens
If you buy the May 2023 issue of BBC Gardeners’ World magazine, it comes with a pass giving 2for1 adult entry to 416 gardens across the UK.
It's £8.50 at supermarkets and newsagents and will be on shelves from Thursday 13 April while stock lasts. Alternatively, you can pre-order or buy online from Mags Direct if you can't find a copy in-store, but postage will cost you £1.49.
The pass is valid at Kew Gardens, Leeds Castle, Warwick Castle, Abbotsford, Bodnant Garden, 67 National Trust gardens and hundreds more. You can use the pass as many times as you like and it's valid for a year until April 2024 – see 'More info' below for how the 2for1 pass works. In previous years, the pass has been valid at The Eden Project, but it wasn’t last year and Gardeners’ World has confirmed you can’t use it there again this year.
The card also gives you a 10% discount when you shop with selected partners, including Hayloft, Sarah Raven, J Parker’s, Farmer Gracy and Gardening Direct.
The magazine also comes with six free packets of seeds normally costing about £14 (except in Northern Ireland, you'll only get the 2for1 gardens pass).
Seeds included with the magazine:
- Kale, usually £1.90
- Morning Glory, usually £2.40
- Oregano, usually £2.20
- Lettuce, usually £2.15
- Eschscholzia, usually £2.85
- Nicotiana, usually £2.65

These are some of the cheapest prices we see throughout the year for prosecco and champagne. While the very cheapest time is usually during the festive period, many of the prices of the bottles below are the same as they were then, so this can be a corking time to buy.
