Last-minute lifesavers

Not yet sorted that all-important gift that says "I love you?" Don't worry - here's some last minute suggestions she'll love...

Face-saver


If you want to be more original than just thrusting some red roses under her nose, send a Jo Malone gift box with a bottle of Red Rose cologne (£47) and bath oil (£22). Malone's Express team promise same-day delivery in London (for £15) if orders are taken by 3pm. 020 7720 0202.

Home Alone


For those who haven't secured a restaurant booking tonight, or who can't bear to be surrounded by other starry-eyed couples, the delicatessen Comptoir Gascon has come up with the perfect solution - dinner for two delivered to your door, ready cooked. Much more romantic to cosy up in front of your roaring (gas) fire, with foie gras "piquillos" and chilli jelly and heart-shaped grissini, lobster with chestnut velouté, fresh goat's cheese and dark chocolate tart, all wrapped in pink and chocolate-coloured tissue paper. Wash it down with Ruinart Brut Champagne and Jurancon Clos Lapeyre, a dry white from the Béarn region of France. At £70, it's not cheap, but at least there won't be any waiters to interrupt should you get carried away.


Cupid's Eye


Book a cupid's capsule on the London Eye at Westminster. For £350, you get your own pod, with champagne, flowers and chocolates provided. Or take their romantic river-cruise package (£100), which includes a ride in the Eye, followed by a 45-minute champagne cruise down the Thames. Book early to avoid disappointment. 0870 443 9970. More availability late afternoon than evening.
