Get Ready for Valentine's Day: Discounts for the Perfect Gift

When you're in a couple, Valentine's Day is an important day. Miss it, forget a present or fail to organise a dinner or trip, and you may be in for some disappointment. Luckily, there are plenty of Valentine's Day discounts, deals and ideas available to help you get prepared.

2025 Valentine's Day gift ideas

Each person is different, so before you begin searching for ideas, it's a good thing to consider your specific partner. What may be good for one person, may not work for them. So, consider their likes and dislikes carefully before jumping onto the easiest purchase.

For her, you can always think about makeup, perfume and wine. Each of these do have strong personal preferences in place, so take a look at what she uses already. If you're organised, you can take notes if she mentions something she wishes to have. Additionally, check out her reading list and see if there are any new books coming up she might be interested in.

Similarly, for him, take a look at some of the items he uses regularly. Maybe a new aftershave is required, a bottle of whiskey, or even a trip to see his favourite sports team playing. Of course, you can opt for something that both of you will enjoy too. There are plenty of couple gifts too, such as specific experiences or simply a romantic dinner for two.

Most of these can be found and ordered, or booked, online. However, you still need to be prepared. So, make sure you're ordering Valentine's Day gifts no later than a week before the day to ensure they arrive on time.

What to expect from Valentine's Day deals

When it comes to Valentine's Day deals themselves, you can expect quite a bit from them. Most major retailers will offer quite hefty discounts in the run-up to this day. This means you'll often find as much as 50% off across most items in the shop. Better still, some retailers will add to this with special, limited-time offers and discounts. This means that, with the use of codes and vouchers, you may be able to add an additional 20% off the pre-existing discount.

Valentine's Day discount codes: where to find them

Finding Valentine's Day discount codes is very easy. There are various voucher websites such as Discoup.com that collect all the different codes and coupons from the UK retailers. Not only that, but Discoup also takes the time to collate all these offers into a specific Valentine's Day page. This means that all vouchers and discounts for all shops are listed in one place. You simply need to go through the list and find the offer that suits you. Better still, with helpful filters in place, you can whittle down results by brand or category.

Once you've found a code that meets your needs, you need to use it. Go to the retailer's website and begin shopping. Add the items to your basket via the product page. Then, view your bag. At this point, you will see a promo or discount code box somewhere near the order summary. Copy and paste your Valentine's Day promo code into this box and apply it to your order. The total will change, and you can continue to the checkout to finalise the purchase.

Some major Valentine's Day promotions

Many major shops offer some large discounts in the run-up to this day. This means that you can find some really great offers, enabling you to get a high-quality gift while still saving some money. Some of the top shops to check out include SHEIN, Bloom & Wild, Amazon, Buyagift, Moonpig and eBay.

Shopping on any of these sites is a great way to maximise your budget. Plus, they cover a wide array of different gift types meaning you'll find it easy to pick something that meets your partner's needs easily. Shop early to avoid any disappointments though.
