Toast your relationship with a legendary Welsh love potion. Try Lurvill’s Delight, a fruity soft drink originating from Ynyshir in the Rhondda, It’s based on an original recipe used between 1896 and 1910.

If you'd rather raise a glass of something stronger with your other half, opt for one of Penderyn Distillery's premium spirits from the Brecon Beacons. Choose from their classic Penderyn Single Malt Whisky, Brecon Five Vodka, Brecon Gin and Merlyn Cream Liqueur, all of which have won international recognition. If you’re planning a romantic retreat in the Brecon Beacons though, Penderyn’s visitor centre nearby is well worth a visit.

A cwtch indoors

Snuggle up under a traditional Welsh woolen blanket, like the soft lambswool quilts and throws produced by Jane Beck of Welsh Blankets. Jane's blankets are made using old looms and traditional weaving methods that capture the industrial history of where she lives, on the border between Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire.

Some tunes by a Welsh legend

Kick back with your significant other and listen to the music of Welsh legends. You could go for some classic Tom Jones, a big belter from Shirley or the latest album from The Gentle Good (who launched Wales' Year of Legends). If music isn't your cuppa or you just want a bit of peace and quiet, maybe try some legendary fiction from Wales by Dylan Thomas or Roald Dahl.

Sweets for your sweet

Nothing is sweeter than your love, we know, but you could sweeten the deal with an edible Welsh treat. A slab of Nomnom chocolate, made near Llanboidy, could win over the coldest of hearts. Go patriotic with the Welsh Cake bar (yes, chocolate AND Welsh cake together) or be thematic with the Love bar, made with salted caramel and milk chocolate.

Something touching

If your other half likes jewellery, a necklace or earrings made in Wales could be lovely. Emma-Kate Jewellery has a dainty daffodil range, and some of the profits from it go to a Welsh community charity. Or you could go classic with Clogau Gold – the Gold of royalty and sourced from the dramatic mountain ranges of Snowdon. If it’s puckering up for a ‘Sws’ (kiss) you are after, Gwdihŵ products may be a nice surprise. Their ranges include soothing muscle rubs and yummy lip balms, all made in Conwy.
