Best Valentine Gift Ideas For Your Puzzle-Loving Other Half

Red roses and Valentine’s Day go hand in hand, but this gift will last a lot longer than a bunch of blooms from the local florist. This new set from LEGO contains 822 pieces, so you and your loved one can enjoy hours of mindful building together. You’ll end up with an elegant display which will last a lifetime – the perfect present to symbolise your everlasting love.

A little bit of healthy competition can help to keep a relationship alive, so why not challenge your other half to a game of knowledge with a romantic twist? There are 140 quiz cards in this set, all presented in a stylish geometric-patterned box, so get ready to become love rivals!

Here at Puzzes HQ, we’re very partial to a cryptogram. If you can’t get enough of them in your favourite puzzle magazine each month, then drop a few hints to your partner that you’d like this book on 14 February. If you manage not to get annoyed when your other half looks over your shoulder and says ‘I’ve worked one out!’, then you truly are meant to be together!

Every couple has a special place, whether it’s the spot where you got engaged or a holiday destination that made a memorable romantic getaway. This gorgeous map jigsaw is personalised with your chosen location in a heart-shaped piece at the centre of the puzzle. A lovely gift to show the two of you fit together perfectly!

If you’re after a simple Valentine’s gift that’s a small token of your love, then look no further than this classy pen. Presented in its own box, the contemporary heart design will remind your partner of your love and affection whenever they settle down for a solving session.

Celebrity trysts lie at the heart of this memory game. Simply place the cards face down and see if you can remember where each star’s current or former love interest is located. To make it trickier, some of the famous folk have dated several others, but the backgrounds will join up when you've found the right match. If you like celebrity gossip, you’ll love this game!

Returning to the block building company par excellence, this smaller gift option is sure to make your LEGO-loving sweetheart swoon. Including two different designs to allow customisation, this kit makes a pretty addition to your room for year-round romantic vibes.

They say that the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, and this gift is sure to hit a puzzle fan’s sweet spot. Simply make some cookie dough and use the mould to make 15 animals in a single batch. On 14 February, mix them up and present them to your other half – with a rule that they can’t eat the cookies until they’ve fitted them back together!

We’ve searched high and low and struck gold with this romantic at-home treasure hunt. With 21 love-themed clue cards to pick from, plus two blank cards to create more personalised puzzles, the path to true love will hopefully run smoothly (via the bathroom and behind a cupboard door!)

What is the Holy Grail of Valentine’s Day presents? This Da Vinci Code-inspired mini cryptex perhaps? As well as the gift of a code to crack —the default password is I L O V E Y O U, but can be changed to suit your particular love story —the pair of rings inside is a romantic added bonus. Can we feel a proposal in the air...
