Disney+ Membership
If your household hasn’t jumped on the Disney+ bandwagon yet, now is a perfect time. You can opt-in for the monthly membership, or go all out for the annual option. Of course, they have all of the Disney classics, but they’re really ramping things up and adding plenty of hits. From Ugly Betty to Sons of Anarchy and everything in between. An ideal gift in times like this, check it out here.
Lindt Chocolates
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, what’s Valentine’s Day without chocolate? Lindt chocolate has Valentine’s Day written all over it, it just seems fancier and more special than your every day treats. Opt for the salted caramel Lindt instead of the original (or go all out and go for both), dare I say, the salted caramel is even tastier than the OG.

A Personalised Hamper
Speaking of chocolate… While you’re out doing the weekly food shop this weekend, pick up all their favourite treats. From jellies to chocolate and popcorn to drinks, and everything in between! Whether you have an old box laying around the house or come across a cute storage basket while out and about, pop everything into it to make your own little Valentine’s hamper. You could even store this idea for later down the line, make up your own little hamper for loved one’s birthday and drop it at their door. Cute!
