The best Valentine's Day gifts 2021
For years Valentine's Day has felt like something foisted upon us, rather than a particularly British occasion. But over the last year we've all learned a little bit more about the small ways we can show love, appreciation and care, in person or otherwise.
And with untold months of lockdown, home school and furlough ahead and a general dearth of positive vibes, it's time to put away our cynicism and show those we love (romantically, or not) that we're thinking of them.
In fact, while big Galentine's Day in-person get-togethers with female friends are firmly off the agenda, that doesn't mean a card, gift, virtual event or video call should be. Single friends whose romantic lives have been put on hold during the pandemic may be feeling particularly glum at the usual celebration of coupledom.
So whether you're celebrating romantic love or true friendship this February, scroll on for the Culture Whisper edit of the best Valentine's Day gifts to give, or receive.
