Inside the New M&S Valentine's range: fizz, flowers, PJs and gifts worth treating yourself to

Maybe it's to do with the various hormonal changes I'm going through, but I’m less into spending a fortune on fragrance these days and far more interested in discovering new long-lasting perfumes to enjoy – and this one had me at hello. From top notes of pear, bergamot and ambrette to a warm base of vanilla and musk, this is just the kind of feel-good fragrance I’m drawn to wearing. And there's 20% off.

I’ve always admired Kelly Hoppen's approach to interiors, so her ongoing collaboration with M&S is very much my thing. This classy candle went straight into my basket - I love the chic ceramic jar, but the beautifully balanced scent of baies rose and bergamot with blackcurrant, juniper and patchouli is a truly gorgeous, soothing fragrance that makes any room feel instantly inviting.

As a card-carrying member of the sandwich generation, I’m a fan of anything that promises a little calm, like this NEOM candle. The blend of rose, geranium and orange is soothing yet uplifting, making it the perfect pressie for anyone who loves the scent of roses but would happily skip the cliche of a dozen blooms on Valentine’s Day.

Confession: I love a glass of fizz, and I’m always on the hunt for new glasses to add to my collection, having discovered what a difference the right vessel makes to how it tastes. These heart-shaped coupes are just the right size to make every sip feel special. You don’t even need a Valentine, just invite a fellow fizz-lover to join you.

This little vase is a tiny bit cutesy and less minimalist than my usual taste, but I can't wait to fill it with bright daffodils as soon as spring arrives. The checked pattern and heart detailing give it so much charm, and the scalloped edge is just the right finishing touch.

These are the sort of glasses that instantly lift the mood before you’ve even poured the drink. The heart-shape and tinted glass feel joyful without being too sugary, and the little dotted details add just the right amount of personality. Ideal for marking a moment, big or small.

This plush little decoration – with his tiny Valentine’s letter and embroidered heart – is a delightful reminder that Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be taken too seriously. Hang him up, pop him on a shelf, or gift him to someone who loves a bit of fun.

February 14th strikes me as the perfect excuse to get a few friends round and spoil yourselves – and what better way to do that than with cake? This four-tier sponge is layered with raspberry jam, finished with pink vanilla buttercream, and topped with white chocolate hearts. Yum.

I don’t think you can ever have too many candles, and these are a simple way to make a Valentine’s Day dinner feel just that bit more fancy. The heart detailing adds a playful twist, without being over the top, and because they’re unscented, they won’t compete with whatever you're dishing up.

I love pyjamas with long sleeves and shorts, but they’re surprisingly hard to find. These are the perfect choice for staying cosy as you drift off, without waking up tangled in a hot, sweaty mess. This heart-print set is lightweight and silky-soft with a relaxed fit for comfort without overheating.

These PJs caught my eye because they’re available in short, regular and long – something that shouldn’t feel like a treat, but absolutely is. The relaxed cotton poplin is crisp but comfortable, but the heart print keeps them feeling fun rather than too serious. These are pyjamas you look forward to putting on at the end of the day.

I’ve got my eye on this for my fashion-forward tween as a little Valentine’s Day treat. The reviews mention that the ribbed long-sleeved top is cropped, which I think gives these a youthful, modern vibe. Lovely for that in-between stage where they want PJs that seem grown-up, but are still cosy enough for lounging at home.

This one’s already out of stock online, but you can add your details to be notified if it comes back. The 3D sculpted hearts and cheeky 'I love you cherry much' slogan inside make it utterly charming, while the little cherry-and-kisses detailing adds a playful, romantic touch.

This one’s the number one bestseller in tableware, and it’s easy to see why. The playful all-over print changes from red to white when you add a hot drink, for a hit of nostalgia if you had one of those as a kid. A fun little reminder that sometimes it’s the small, everyday gestures – like a cuppa made for you – that mean the most.

A must-have mug for anyone whose couple slogan is something along the lines of “no, you hang up first.” The playful message, speckled finish and twist handle give it personality – perfect for slow mornings, late-night cuppas, and those little everyday moments that say more than a grand gesture ever could.

I’m a big fan of Emma Bridgewater, so I can’t resist this heart-print plate for adding a bit of romance to my morning crumpets. The hand-sponged design is classically charming, and the stoneware is durable enough for everyday use.

A cheeky little Galentine’s treat for my son’s stylish girlfriend – her keyring collection is already impressive, and this is sure to make her smile every time she reaches for her keys. Shiny beads, a cute little compartment for lip gloss and loose change, and a gold-tone clip make it fun, practical, and just a touch mischievous.

The bold stripes and tassle on this just bring me joy. The soft cotton feels lovely to touch and the slouchy shape means there’s plenty of room for everything from travel toiletries to everyday bits and bobs.

I don’t like adding clutter to my home to tie in with the season, but I’m definitely adding one of these to my bed for a cheeky Valentine’s Day glow-up that’ll work all year round. The cotton is soft and cosy, and the frill around the edge is pretty without feeling fussy.

This charming little bag features soft velvet, embroidered hearts, and a swishy pink tassel for a touch of elegance. I love the gently slouchy shape – which leaves plenty of room for toiletries or beauty favourites – and the hidden metal frame means it opens wide and keeps its shape.

For a sweet way to show someone you care, send this straight to their doorstep. There's a half bottle of iconic Delacourt Rosé Champagne, Pistachio Crème Truffles, Chocolate Covered Berries, and the star of the show: a giant Choc Marks Bar with a bold 'I Love You' message.

You can't beat tulips for springtime cheer, in my opinion, and I think this 26-stem bouquet is a lovely alternative to the predictability of red roses for a touch of romance but with a fresh, modern twist.

This is one bouquet I'd be delighted to receive on any day of the year. The 18 stems are a striking and unusual mix of classic red roses and white orchids for an elegant, timeless statement – no words or cheesy cards needed.

Lisianthus were in my bouquet when I got married, so I’d much prefer these to the traditional blooms everyone gets on Valentine’s Day. Soft pink roses, delicate lisianthus, and fresh eucalyptus make for a timelessly romantic arrangement, with the Queens Crown rose adding an extra touch of drama.

Valentine’s novelty clothes are so not for me, but these tights are a lovely way to give a nod to the day of love in a way that is sure to raise a smile. The delicate heart pattern is the right side of subtle, and the soft waistband and stretchy fit mean they'll stay comfy all day and into the evening - wherever it takes you.

This heart-shaped oak board feels reassuringly sturdy when you’re chopping, and it’s just the thing for serving tapas, bread, or cheese to make a meal feel a little extra special. I plan to get the girls round and use this to present a Galentine's Day grazing board.

The older I get, the more I appreciate anything that helps me keep special memories on display, and this ceramic frame with embossed hearts is just the thing. Solid and substantial, it feels timeless while still adding a little touch of romance to a shelf or bedside table – ideal for a treasured photo or keepsake.
