Lovers of the world unite - Valentine's Day is just around the corner. And how will you be spending it?

Goulds is a good place to go for presents - a wide variety of things, especially for the ladies, including lots of lovely perfume and beauty treatments.

Boots, too, is a great place of perfume (and you get points with a Boots card, and you know what points mean - prizes) and there are often deals to be had, with special offers.

Superdrug - hoorah for the cheaper option - have a good range of stuff and at The Body Shop, they are currently doing some fantastic two-for-the-price of one deals.

So where to go on the big night? Book in, if you can, to Sienna, which, despite the almost hidden facade (the building has scaffolding around it), is worth finding. It was recently given great praise by the Telegraph, no less, and it really is a special place.

La Caverna is a great option, lots of atmosphere and some fantastic Italian food.

Venture out a bit and go to Le Petit Canard in Maiden Newton. Great place and very lovely dishes.

Or you can always get some fine ingredients in and dish up something special...
