The story of Saint Valentine’s dates back to the Roman era, when Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and children, and so he outlawed marriage. Saint Valentine defied the Emperor’s law and continued to marry lovers in secret, and his legend is still celebrated today.

Valentine’s Day is a time to show you care – a love note never goes amiss, but if you’re stuck with the words then a gift is the perfect way to demonstrate your affections. Read on for our Valentine’s Day gift guide!
