Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and if you're searching for a gift that feels personal, thoughtful and a little bit different, a hamper might be exactly what you're looking for. Whether you're planning a romantic day out or a cosy night in, we've got you covered – take a look at our Valentine's Day ideas in Devon for inspiration.

Here at Devon Heaven, we've seen first-hand how a hamper can bring people together. In fact, a Devon Heaven hamper once played a part in our own story, so we know just how special the right gift can be. In this blog, we explore why hampers make the perfect Valentine's gift and share some ideas to help you find the ideal one for your loved one.

A Gift That Shows You've Put Thought Into It

There's something wonderfully personal about receiving a hamper. Unlike a generic gift card or a bunch of flowers that will wilt within a week, a hamper is filled with carefully chosen items that show you've really thought about what your partner might enjoy.

Whether they love indulgent cream teas with scones and clotted cream, prefer something savoury like cheese and chutney, or enjoy a glass of something fizzy, there's a hamper to suit every taste. You're not just giving them a gift; you're giving them an experience to savour.

At Devon Heaven, every hamper we send includes a beautiful postcard featuring one of our favourite Devon landmarks, with space for your personal message on the reverse. It's a thoughtful touch that makes every gift feel truly special, just as though you'd written and posted it yourself.

An Experience You Can Share Together

One of the best things about giving a hamper for Valentine's Day is that it's a gift you can enjoy together. Instead of a present that sits on a shelf, a hamper invites you to slow down, spend quality time with each other, and create memories.

Picture this: a lazy Sunday afternoon, a pot of freshly brewed tea, warm scones topped with rich clotted cream and strawberry jam. Our Afternoon Tea Hamper has everything you need for the perfect at-home date. Prefer something with a celebratory feel? Our Prosecco Cream Tea adds a touch of sparkle to your Valentine's Day without the need for restaurant reservations or getting dressed up.

If your partner doesn't drink alcohol, our Sparkling Cream Tea Alcohol Free offers the same sense of occasion without the fizz.

Something for Every Type of Valentine

Not everyone has a sweet tooth, and that's perfectly fine. One of the joys of gifting a hamper is the variety available. Valentine's Day doesn't have to mean sugary treats if that's not your partner's thing.

For the cheese lover in your life, our Cheese & Savoury Hampers are packed with locally sourced cheeses, savoury biscuits and chutneys. Pair it with a bottle of wine or ale for a cosy evening in. Our Afternoon Tea Hamper with Cheese and Biscuits offers the best of both worlds, combining a classic cream tea with a savoury selection.

For those who appreciate a good pasty and a pint, our Devon Pasty & Ale Hamper is a hearty choice that's perfect for a relaxed Valentine's evening. Or if cider is more their thing, take a look at our Ale & Cider Hampers for locally produced West Country drinks.

Catering for Dietary Requirements

Valentine's Day should be enjoyable for everyone, regardless of dietary needs. If your partner follows a gluten-free diet, we have options that mean they won't miss out on a single crumb.

Our Gluten Free Cream Tea features hand-baked gluten-free scones produced by a specialist bakery here in Devon, along with clotted cream, strawberry jam and hand-stitched tea sachets. For a more indulgent option, our Gluten Free Afternoon Tea takes things up a notch with additional treats.

It's a thoughtful way to show your partner that you've considered their needs and want them to enjoy every bite.

Add a Touch of Luxury

If you want to make your Valentine's gift extra special, why not upgrade to one of our wicker hamper options? There's something undeniably romantic about a beautifully presented wicker basket filled with delicious treats.

Our red-trim wicker tray is carefully wrapped in cellophane for a polished finish, while our lidded wicker hamper baskets, handcrafted from split willow, come in 14-inch and 18-inch sizes for a truly classic look. Both are reusable keepsakes that your partner can treasure long after the last scone has been eaten. Browse our Wicker Basket Hampers to see the full range.

Create Something Truly Personal

Want to go the extra mile? With our Create Your Own Hamper option, you have complete freedom to build a gift from scratch. Choose their favourite treats, pick the perfect packaging, and create a hamper that's as unique as the person you're sending it to.

Perhaps your partner adores chocolate brownies, or maybe they can't resist a good jar of chutney. Whatever their tastes, you can curate a selection that's tailored just for them. It's a wonderful way to show how well you know them.

Not Sure What to Choose? Give Them the Choice

If you're worried about picking the wrong thing, or your partner is particularly tricky to buy for, a Gift Voucher could be the perfect solution. Our vouchers are linked to specific hampers, so you get to choose the type of gift while they get to pick their preferred delivery date.

It's ideal for busy couples who want to enjoy their hamper at just the right moment, perhaps on a weekend when they can truly relax and savour it together.

Supporting Local and Sustainable Gifting

When you choose a Devon Heaven hamper, you're not just giving a gift; you're supporting small, independent producers across Devon and the West Country. We work with trusted local suppliers to bring you award-winning food and drink you won't find on the high street.

We're also committed to doing our bit for the environment. All our hampers arrive in eco-friendly, 100% recyclable packaging, hand-stamped with the Devon Heaven logo for a rustic West Country feel. We use recyclable packing straw to keep everything snug and secure, and we never include invoices inside the box, just the treats and your personal message.

It's our way of making sure your gift arrives beautifully presented and with the planet in mind.

Delivered With Care, Right to Their Door

One of the biggest advantages of a hamper gift is the convenience. No fighting through crowded shops, no last-minute panic. Simply choose your hamper, add your personal message at checkout, and select your preferred delivery date. We offer free weekday delivery across the UK, and if you order by 1pm, we'll despatch your hamper the same day.

For Valentine's Day, we recommend choosing a delivery date the day before to make sure everything arrives in plenty of time. Our cream teas stay fresh for at least four days after despatch, so your partner can enjoy them at their leisure.

A Gift That Says More Than Words

At the heart of it, Valentine's Day is about showing someone you care. A hamper does that in a way few other gifts can. It's not just about what's inside the box; it's about the thought, the care, and the invitation to spend time together enjoying something delicious.

Whether you choose a classic cream tea, an indulgent Truffle Cream Tea, or a hearty Devon Food Hamper, you're giving more than a gift. You're giving a moment to pause, to connect, and to enjoy life's simple pleasures together.

This Valentine's Day, skip the ordinary and give something that truly stands out. Browse our full collection of Valentine's Hampers and find the perfect way to say "I love you."
