Best Valentine’s Day gift cards 2022
Here are the best Valentine's Day gift cards for a variety of hobbies, from guitar lessons to shark diving.
Gift cards used to be the worst Valentine's Day gift imaginable. It was the equivalent of saying: "I don't know what you like, so here's some (fake) money."
Well, not any more. In recent years, the gift card market has exploded to include every hobby and retailer imaginable. You can also design personalised cards that include your own photos and messages. In other words, it's no longer a thoughtless, last-minute gift.
Below, we've listed some of our favourite gift cards for Valentine's Day 2022. Whether your significant other is into gaming, fine wine or fancy trimmings, you should be able to find a perfect match. (We've also included print-out and text-message options for those who have left things to the last minute.)
