Bargain Hunter: Get a discount on romance and put Valentine's Day up in lights
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.It's Valentine's Day next Saturday and what better way to set the mood than some romantic lighting. To help, Bargain Hunter has arranged an exclusive 30 per cent discount on LED Hut's range of mood lighting.
The Lumilife Valentine's range includes fairy lights and flickering, real-wax LED candles, as well as decorative branch lights, some of which are pictured above.
To take advantage of the deal, enter the code HUNT30 at the checkout at ledhut.co.uk/valentines-day-sale.html. The code will remain valid until 28 February.
Champagne, oysters and a six-course recipe for love
Meanwhile, romantic Londoners may be tempted by an exclusive menu based on popular aphrodisiac ingredients offered at the restaurant DSTRKT near Shaftesbury Avenue.
The six-course meal is just £49 and includes a champagne cocktail followed by a plate of oysters. There's also a salmon and passion fruit tartare, served with a quail's egg yolk, and a "chocolate and caviar" creation to finish.
The menu is available from 10 to 14 February and you can reserve through bookatable.co.uk/blog/aphrodisiac-menu.
Tell them you love them with a card that costs nothing
You can get a free Valentine's card – just don't tell your loved one.
The new company Inkly Cards is giving away 50,000 Valentine's cards. You can choose from the range, worth £2.99 each, including art cards and photo-upload cards. Each one can also be personalised with your own handwriting, using "patent pending" handwriting technology.
The cards are being given away on Inkly's Facebook page at facebook.com/InklyCards.
A romantic getaway for £20 on the magic bus
You can take a bargain romantic trip to Paris or a city break to Brussels or Amsterdam for only £20 a seat with iDBus. Go to uk.idbus.com/crazy-fares-30000-seats-up-for-grabs by 23 February.
Act fast for presents and flowers through Quidco
If you move fast, you can get 10 per cent off Valentine's gifts at Marks & Spencer through Quidco. The offer runs until midnight tomorrow, Sunday 8 February.
Or, if you're planning to buy flowers, you can get £5 off all orders plus 17.5 per cent cashback by using a special Quidco code at Debenhams Flowers before midnight on 8 February.

Travelodge in special offer for families at half-term
Looking further ahead, the hotel chain Travelodge is offering 40,000 rooms for £35 or less during February half-term. For a family of four staying in a £35 room, that works out at just £8.75 per person – cheaper than a children's bowling ticket or a couple of magazines and a bar of chocolate.
