Sharing a Little Love this Valentine’s Day, Starts Here at Drake Circus and The Barcode

Whether you’re treating a partner, friend, parents, children or another special person in your life, Drake Circus and The Barcode have all you need to help share the love this Valentine’s Day.

From a romantic meal and movie to candles, chocolate and more, here’s the top pick of Valentine’s ideas for 2022.

 

Spending quality time together

If you’re looking for things to do on Valentine’s Day, a night at the movies is always a good idea. Whether you’re celebrating with your partner or planning a Galentine’s or Palentine’s mate date, Cineworld has films for everyone, including Marry Me – the new rom-com musical starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson – which is released on 11th February.

Or head to Paradise Island Adventure Golf to get competitive and see who comes up trumps on a round-of crazy golf – a great idea for a first date or to keep the kids entertained!

Finish your evening with a visit to one of our restaurants which offer plenty of choice for Valentine’s dinners and drinks. From indulgent pastas and mouth-watering burgers to tacos and burrito bowls, there’s something to suit everyone’s taste. Get in touch with restaurants such as Zizzi, BrewDog and Las Iguanas to find out more and reserve a table.

Or if you’re planning to spend the evening at home, you can’t go amiss with M&S’ Valentine’s Dine In Package which comes with a starter, main and dessert.

 

Classic Valentine's gifts

Chocolates and flowers are popular choices that bring a smile at any time of year, and especially on Valentine’s Day.

Find a range of Valentines flowers at M&S, from traditional red roses, to other springtime favourites like lilies and tulips.

Pair a bouquet with a box of chocolates from Hotel Chocolat and a teddy bear from Clintons too – and don’t forget the Valentine’s card.

 

Something extra special

There’s plenty of extra special gifts to pick up at Drake Circus for your nearest and dearest.

Find a luxury watch at Tag Heuer, Breitling or Omega, a range of statement designer clothes and accessories at stores such as Tommy Hilfiger and BOSS or a piece of Valentine’s jewellery at Pandora, Drakes or Ernest Jones. Pandora has a range of charms to personalise your gift, or find a pair of matching bracelets or rings for you and your loved one.

Find some of the best perfumes and aftershaves from brands including Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and Maison Margiela at The Perfume Shop or The Fragrance Shop. Or find a pair of new shoes from brands such as Tom’s, Salt Water and Vans at schuh, Footasylum or Foot Locker with everything from trainers and loafers to high heels and Ugg boots.

Or the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser is a must for chocoholics!

 

Tech gifts they’ll love

AirPods or headphones are a great idea for people who love to listen to music on a commute, run or just for fun. Look out for those with noise-cancelling features to help enjoying music without interruption and – more practically – to help if they’re joining calls in a busy house while working from home.

A new or upgraded fitness watch from Apple is also a great idea to help fitness enthusiasts of all levels track their daily exercise, workouts and steps.

 

Or how about something unique…

And if nothing has taken your fancy just yet, a unique Valentine’s Day gift that feels very personal is sure to be a hit.

Whether it’s a book from Waterstones or something related to a particular hobby or interest they have like Lego, Disney, or Harry Potter, from The Entertainer or Primark – all are great for showing them how well you know them.

You could also print out one of your favourite photos together at Boots with a frame from M&S, Next or Paperchase. Or look out for matching mugs which are also cute additions to the home.

 

And don’t forget to give yourself some love

Valentine’s Day is all about sharing the love, and that should include yourself too! So, if you’ve had your eye on something new for your wardrobe or a special addition to the home, now’s the perfect time to treat yourself and get it.

Or give yourself some love with a pamper evening with face masks, bath bombs, creams and more. Head to LUSH or Boots for some inspiration, and pick up a new book from Waterstones to prepare for the perfect relaxing evening.
