Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Whether it’s the return of the Marks and Spencer love sausage – you really do have to see it to believe it – or the unveiling of its scrumptious-sounding Valentine’s Day meal deals for two, Marks & Spencer has been pulling out all the stops in time for Valentine’s Day this year.
If a Valentine’s Day gift for the people you love is still a very abstract idea (possibly involving a box of chocolates and a card from the petrol station), the supermarket is on hand with a wide variety of deluxe-looking Valentine’s Day bundles and gifts that are bound to delight.
While you can opt for something niche such as a personalised airpods case or three-course meal at the top of the Shard, hampers and letterbox gifts are a simple way to spoil the people you love with something they wouldn’t normally buy for themselves.
From heart-shaped bundles brimming with home fragrances to chocolate brownie gift boxes, hampers filled with sweet treats, pink prosecco and everything you need for a pink grapefruit G&T, needless to say, these bundles are perfect for sharing on 14 February and beyond.
If you have your heart set on a Valentine’s Day bundle for your partner, friends and family, here are some standout bundles to buy.

This shimmering selection looks very glittery and glam. A classic foodie and boozy option for Valentine’s Day, the gift includes one bar of single origin dark chocolate (which happens to be vegan) and a bar of single origin dark milk chocolate, nestled alongside marc de champagne truffles and, most likely the star of the show, a box of sparkling caramels. These sweet treats can then we washed down with a mini bottle of rosé prosecco. What’s not to love?
M&S box of six brownies: £17, Marksandspencer.com
One for the chocoholics and sweet-treat fanatics this Valentine’s Day, this letterbox selection of brownies sounds like a sweet take on the Valentine’s Day chocolate tradition. Housed in a pretty pink and orange box, the chocolate baked treats include three Belgian dark-chocolate brownies topped with white chocolate and freeze-dried raspberry pieces, along with three chocolate brownies topped with heart-shaped sprinkles. Described by M&S as fudgy and decadent, you might be tempted to polish off the lot yourself.
M&S with love hamper with champagne: £75, Marksandspencer.com
Send a foodie’s heart racing this Valentine’s Day with this sweet-treat and nibbles selection. Secure this hefty hamper and it will arrive complete with strawberry jam, chocolate truffles, dark-chocolate-and-ginger florentines, toasted marcona almonds and Italian hazelnut crème.
