Find the perfect gift this Valentine's Day

Love it or loathe it, there's no escaping Valentine's Day.

Shops throughout the country are adorned with hearts or decked out in red as the retail world gears up for one of its most lucrative times of the year.

But even those who claim not to buy in to the lovey-dovey aspect of February 14 will still want a gift.

And with the wealth of options on sale this year, there is no need to go in for the unimaginative bunch of flowers or cheesy cuddly bear. Instead, take inspiration from the catwalks and opt for red accessories or classic jewellery.

With ideas to suit all interests there is something for everyone. Even Apple has launched a red iPod for the occasion this year.

So in honour of Valentine's Day, we have rounded up some of our favourite love tokens to provide you with inspiration – no matter what your budget.
