So with that in mind, here’s a look at a selection of Valentine’s Day gift ideas that will score you some serious brownie points without costing the earth.. and of course we’re including clay pigeon shooting!

Visit a museum or gallery

Some of the UK’s best museums and art galleries are completely free, which makes them the perfect option for a cheap Valentine’s Day treat. Although museums may have seemed stuffy and boring in the past that’s definitely not the case today, and modern day museums are bursting with interactive exhibitions, making them a great place for a date. If museums still aren’t your thing though, how about a trip to an art gallery? British galleries are some of the best in the world and they’re home to a whole host of famous works, giving you the chance to see some real classics up close. Valentine’s Day ideas don’t come much more memorable than that!

Flowers & Chocolates

OK, so it’s not the most original valentines gift idea, but if you’re doing Valentine’s on a budget flowers and chocolates still take some beating – as long as they’re not from a garage forecourt! There’s no need to blow the bank though, and as long as you spend a bit of time picking something your partner likes or even finding their favourites, you’ll score some serious brownie points.
