Cashback love is in the air this Valentine’s Day

Some people love it and some people hate it, Valentine’s day is almost upon us. Whatever your opinion, there is no need to fear because we have come up with some ideas that can help even the busiest of couples save money and still enjoy a little alone time on the 14th of February; whilst grabbing some handy cashback on the way. Even in these uncertain times you can still make a little magic.

Staying in on Valentine’s Day

It seems as though we may all be inside this year, however there is no need to be traditional on Valentine’s Day. If big gestures aren’t your thing or if you love going over the top there are so many cute, inexpensive things you can do staying in that will still fill your heart with joy, your stomach with butterflies and a little bit of cashback in your pocket.

Breakfast in Bed

Let’s be honest if you aren’t a morning person, is there a better way to be woken up than with a Valentines breakfast in bed? Getting up just that little bit earlier than your partner to make a super special morning is so simple to do and set’s up your day of love in the perfect way. Your local supermarket will have everything you need, and we have supermarket cashback on hand for you.

Our Best Picks

Heart-shaped pancakes with syrup and their favourite fruits.
Breakfast Mimosa with a heart shaped strawberry garnish.
Cream cheese with salmon on heart shaped toast or a bagel

Treasure Hunt

If your partner is expecting a big romantic gesture but you just need to have ten minutes to yourself, between working from home and other boring house work chores, before you are ready to begin the weekend of love; consider turning your house into a treasure map! Buy a few small presents, potentially with a cryptic clue or cute message and send them about the house looking for their gifts. This works especially well if you have children too, why not let them join in!

There are many small keepsakes you can buy that are inexpensive, such as their favourite picture in a lovely frame, a book with a hidden message, Morse code bracelets and of course the firm favourite of cuddly toys. Browse our gift section for cashback and see what fun things you can come up with to give yourself that little bit of extra time to relax.

Girlsrock231 January 2021, 01:47 Why are you recommending booking a hotel for Valentines when we are all in lockdown until at least March? Irresponsible.
Hey

While we have offered a number of options to those staying in, for those who want to look to purchase a gift now for a future when restrictions do end, we've also put some suggestions in for that. We do advise to follow current national and local guidelines where you are.

Best wishes
