You can still get full marks thanks to these thoughtful gift ideas

Don’t panic, it’s not too late to find a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift (and a Valentine’s card) for someone special – just check out our ready-to-shop edit below. For classic romance, ordering flowers or a flower-and-chocolate bundle will make you look incredibly organised; order before 1pm on Friday 13 February for next-day delivery (any orders placed after this will go out the following day). That said, if you’ve really left it to the very last minute, buy an e-gift card and let them choose. It’s better than no gift at all…
