It's Valentines Day, Havent bought a gift yet? Don't Panic theres still time.

Ok so heres how it is, you've been pretty busy what with this and that, and now Valentines Day has arrived, you Havent bought anything for your significant other and you essentially have around 1 hour at lunch time then you finish work at 5, may 6 at latest, then the shops close 7 at absolute latest.  you're panicking right?  Don't, take a look at this very brief selection of Valentines options, along with brands and prices, and be ready to google some addresses for some last minute, luxurious Valentines ideas.


Either you have a really big heart, or you feel that special person does, either way this could be nice, basically a big lump of heart shaped milk chocolate, with strawberry chocolate on top, and pink smarties, around 25cm large, it is from the generic chocolate brand that is popping up in high streets all over the country known as Hotel Chocolat, and is priced at £28



English Chocolate brand Charbonell et walker is always a safe bet for a quick box of chocolates, for yourself of to soothe the savage beast of love.  this charming little pink valentines hamper ticks several boxes.  Romantic pink colour, little heart shaped chocolates, little box of very high quality champagne truffles, little bar of champagne chocolate and to top it off a little bottle of moet, only a quarter bottle, so could even be enjoyed in a lunch hour without too many difficulties.  Priced at £50


No list of Valentines themed items could possibly be considered complete without a nod to Godiva, however the thing to be careful of is going over the top, you could easily buy your beloved a box of 100 truffles for x amount of money, but would they appreciatte it?  in these weight concious times possibly not, the thought may be appreciated, however they would be likely trying to work out who they can give most of them away to.  Every year godiva produces these little stuffed bears, and this year they have attached a small heart filled with 5 chocolates, so you get cheap, cute and lovely, and they can keep the bear, so its actually a gift too!  Priced at £19


Finally honorable mention must go to harrods, at the very least it closes at 8pm, so it may end up a emergency option late night.  Along with selection fro pretty much all the other brands here, you also have the option of their own branded chocolates, which frankly aren't bad at all.  One such box is pictured here, and retails for £35 per box.
