17 Valentine's food and drink gifts we'd genuinely like to receive this year

Wine and cheese is definitely the way to my heart, so if you know someone similar, this makes a perfect gift option. Baron Bigod is one of the nicest British cheeses you can buy - think a British version of a Camembert, beautifully shaped into a heart. Whilst a Beaujolais is a wonderful young and light red wine that will appeal to most palates.

These quirky salt and pepper grinders from Italian brand Alessi are sure to put a smile on your Valentine's day. They'll never be hidden away in the spice cupboard - these are designed to be shown off and used with pride.

Nothing screams Valentine's more than a very very good bottle of Champagne - even better when it is a rosé too! Our favourite? Definitely Billecart-Salmon for its wild strawberry and peach taste, and a beautiful velvet-like finish.

The foodie in your life deserves a really good quality chef's knife and we love Wüsthof's. Firstly, they look beautiful and come in about 8 different colours, secondly they are super comfortable to hold for extended periods of time, and finally, the blade stays sharp for so long, making cutting everything from fish, veg and cheese a breeze.

A cult-favourite, the Our Place Always Pan easily braises, sear, steams, sauté, fry, boil, serve and store. We found it to be seriously impressive, scoring 84/100 in GHI tests. We love the pink shade but it's also available in eight other colours.

Lovers of gin will adore this coastal gin from Margot Robbie's brand, Papa Salt. It's full of fresh citrus flavours and nutty wattleseed (an Australian native plant), so perfect with lemonade or lemon tonic.

Anything from French-brand Sabre would make a great gift this Valentine's, but their tortoiseshell bottle opener is a great place to start.

For the person who loves Prosecco with a bit of sultry mood lighting, this is the ultimate pamper gift. Featuring their fruity rosé Prosecco, a luxe gold bottle stopper, a 'filthy' rose scented candle and a brass matchbox, this is one gift that will really impress. It also comes in a non-alc gift set, too!

Why not turns Valentine’s Day dinner into something truly memorable with a handmade beef wellington for two? It's made with premium grass-fed beef rump, rich duxelles and crisp pastry, and delivers restaurant-quality indulgence without the hassle. Plus, you're sorted with all the sides and chocolates to really impress your Valentine.

Ok how freaking adorable is this biscuit box from Alessi!? The box is made from a translucent material with a lovely feel and the lid is an actual butter biscuit shape! We would always have biscuits in the house just to display this cute box.

Treat them to some irresistible Melt chocolates, all made fresh in their Notting Hill shop. This gift box featured two half hearts, and the option to personalise with qualities and traits found in the person you're gifting it to.

Enjoy your morning cuppa with these beautifully crafted stoneware cups in a set of two. Each product is handmade so gets a unique finish and hold the perfect volume for your hot beverages.

Our food and drinks writer, Mel, says that this was her favourite product of all time last year, so it's come as no surprise to see this on the list as the perfect gift for a loved one. If you love mango, you'll really love this vodka with its smooth, tropical taste.

For a really special meal for two this Valentine's Day, a box from Dishpatch is the way to go. Officially part of the Waitrose family, these boxes offer restaurant quality menu's at home, from your favourite chefs and restaurants. Our favourite of this year's line-up comes from Angela Hartnett, owner of Cafe Murano, featuring everything you need to create a gorgeous baked gnocchi with seasonal squash, cavolo nero and a heavenly cheesy béchamel. Plus, starters, sides and a pud to top it all off.

Make their kitchen pop with a stylish tea towel like this one. We love that it isn't that thin, non-absorbent material - this one really absorbs moisture and also looks beautiful in situ.
