View at AmazonOK, listen. Flowers are great, and Lego flowers are better. But if your loved one adores the Super Mario series, this will probably eclipse both. This delightful kit is full of personality, and building it is an activity you can do together. Honestly, we'd argue that it's one of the <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/best-lego-sets-and-kits/" data-link-merchant="gamesradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">best Lego sets in the entire gaming range.

Don't buy it if:
❌ They don't have room to display it

There are more gaming cookbooks weighing down shelves now than we can count, so it's more than worth a look if you're low on inspiration. These recipes allow you to cook up a meal for two based on food from your beloved's favorite video game, and because there are options from World of Warcraft to Fallout, so you've got plenty to choose from.

✅ You want a romantic meal for two
Don't buy it if:
❌ All that cooking sounds like work

Does your loved one miss their Xbox console when they come to stay at yours? Get this clever controller. It connects to your phone and, once you've downloaded the Xbox app, allows users to play Xbox games using nothing but the internet and an Xbox Game Pass membership. As we mentioned in our <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/razer-kishi-review/" data-link-merchant="gamesradar.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">Razer Kishi review, it's a great little device that basically turns a cell phone into a Switch. Just remember that there are two versions (the Android and iPhone models).
Buy it if:
✅Your partner doesn't have their Xbox at yours
✅ You want a device that fits lots of smartphones
Don't buy it if:
❌ Your partner plays PS5

If your loved one has an Xbox, Game Pass is a great choice where Valentines gifts for gamers are concerned. Providing access to an enormous library consisting of 100+ games for use on Xbox consoles, PC, and mobile, it's essentially the Netflix of gaming. It's delivered via digital code rather than a physical card too, so there's no need to worry if you've left things a bit late. More importantly, memberships can be stacked on top of existing subscriptions - there's no need to worry about your partner already having Game Pass.
Buy it if:
✅ You want an easy gift for Xbox gamers
✅ You've left it too late
Don't buy it if:
❌ Your partner prefers discs
