Last Minute Valentines Presents on a Student Budget

Spent the remainders of your loan on Bakery 164 and booze, but still want to show your other half that you care?

Look no further! Here’s a guide to finding a unique Valentines present around campus without asking your bank to extend your overdraft… again.

1. Pound Coin Key Ring, £2

Where: The Edge

If your Valentine is showing a little holiday weight, this is the subtle little hint to turn them into a gym bunny (just hope it doesn’t backfire and is used on a shopping trolley). It will also stop them scrounging change off you in the future, bonus!

2. Jumbo Sausage Role, £1.20

Where: Proper Pasty Co.

A tasty treat from the Proper Pasty Company will get his heart racing, and who knows, he might even show you his jumbo sausage roll.

 3. Burt’s Bees Lip Balm, £3.69

Where: CATS

Hoping your valentine will have super soft suckers on the 14th? Give them a helping hand with this little pot of joy – pucker up!

 4. Pick-n-Mix

Where: Essentials

There’s something for every sweet-toothed Valentine in this bag of goodies from Essentials. Sweeten him up and he can be your sugar daddy.

5. Shakespeare’s Sonnets, Free

Where: Brotherton Library

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? … not in Leeds, but if fancy yourself an old-fashioned romantic get to Brotherton to pick up a book to woo your Valentine. (If that doesn’t take your fancy, a few aisles down you can find a book on Karma Sutra).

6. Fruity Ticket, £4

Where: CATS

If you’d prefer to spend your night in the company of other couples, then this is your golden ticket. Find a spot in Stylus and dance the night away.

7. Cocktails, 2 for 1 from 5-9pm

Where: Terrace

If all else fails take your Valentine down to Terrace. Show him your ‘Slippery Nipple’ and he will ‘Woo-woo’ you. You might even end up with a ‘Screaming Orgasm’…

Don’t forget the essential survival kit for anyone on Valentine’s Day:

At the bargain price of £2. A can of red bull from the Michael Sadler vending machine (to keep you going all night), a handful of free condoms from the second floor of the Union (self-explanatory) and perhaps a pack of paracetamol from Essentials for the morning after.
