Valentine’s Day 2026

Valentine’s Day is synonymous with all things, love, romance, flowers and gifts.  In Australia alone, over $415 million was estimated to have been spent on the day of romance last year, with flowers, food, drink, and jewellery as the main gifts of choice. The day is also rife with romance, from date nights under starry skies to personalised cards and gifts sent in the name of love around the world. The day can also be spent with your gal pals (Galentine’s Day) or your favourite bestie (Bromance).

Valentine’s Day 2025 is nearly here and we have some great Valentine’s day ideas for you and your partner:

For the sweetest person you know

This year, Ferguson Plarre’s signature Valentine’s Day range is inspired by Raffaello, including cakes with flavours of velvety cream, white chocolate crunch and coconut. The collection also includes other V-day faves such as the vanilla shortbread yoyos conveniently packaged in gift bags, or the melt-in-your-mouth love heart biscuits.
A decadent cake, cupcakes or sweet biscuits is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the one you love when flowers and chocolate boxes feel completely overdone. A sweet treat gift is affordable, easy to find and can be enjoyed together (so really it is a gift for everyone!).

Head into your local Ferguson Plarre store to choose your own goodies, or go to the Ferguson Plarre website to order.

Who doesn’t love chocolate and who wouldn’t love receiving delicious Australian made gourmet Koko Black chocolates for Valentine’s Day? From their Be My Valentine Gift Box or Sweethearts Hamper, we are sure you’ll be the sweetest Valentine around.
