If you beau loves nothing more than getting up to mischief in the best tabletop RPGs (like Dungeons & Dragons) or wreaking havoc in Warhammer, you literally can't go wrong with dice. We fit into the above categories, so are able to confirm that you can never have enough dice.

OK, listen. Flowers are great, and Lego flowers are better. But if your loved one adores the Super Mario series, this will probably eclipse both. This delightful kit is full of personality, and building it is an activity you can do together. Honestly, we'd argue that it's one of the best Lego sets in the entire gaming range.

Buy it if:
✅ They're a Mario fan
✅ You want something quirky

Don't buy it if:
They don't have room to display it

There are more gaming cookbooks weighing down shelves now than we can count, so it's more than worth a look if you're low on inspiration. These recipes allow you to cook up a meal for two based on food from your beloved's favorite video game, and because there are options from World of Warcraft to Fallout, so you've got plenty to choose from.

Buy it if:
Your loved one adores a specific franchise
✅ You want a romantic meal for two

Don't buy it if:
All that cooking sounds like work

Does your loved one miss their Xbox console when they come to stay at yours? Get this clever controller. It connects to your phone and, once you've downloaded the Xbox app, allows users to play Xbox games using nothing but the internet and an Xbox Game Pass membership. As we mentioned in our Razer Kishi review, it's a great little device that basically turns a cell phone into a Switch. Just remember that there are two versions (the Android and iPhone models).

Buy it if:
Your partner doesn't have their Xbox at yours
You want a device that fits lots of smartphones

Don't buy it if:
Your partner plays PS5

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (3 months) | View at Amazon
If your loved one has an Xbox, Game Pass is a great choice where Valentines gifts for gamers are concerned. Providing access to an enormous library consisting of 100+ games for use on Xbox consoles, PC, and mobile, it's essentially the Netflix of gaming. It's delivered via digital code rather than a physical card too, so there's no need to worry if you've left things a bit late. More importantly, memberships can be stacked on top of existing subscriptions - there's no need to worry about your partner already having Game Pass.

Buy it if:
You want an easy gift for Xbox gamers
✅ You've left it too late

Don't buy it if:
❌ Your partner prefers discs
