With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, many people in relationships will be facing one of the toughest questions of the year - “What do I buy my other half?” 

There have already been 43,000 online searches for “Valentine's Day gifts” as people look for inspiration and whilst some people might receive extravagant and romantic presents, some people are less fortunate. With this in mind, Ninja surveyed the nation to find out what the worst presents people had been given for Valentine’s Day, and between a bag of crisps and cat food, the results will shock you.

The top 10 most disappointing Vaneltine's gifts Brits have recieved

 
  1. Cheap chocolate

  2. A book of stamps

  3. A bag of crisps

  4. A battery with a note saying “You turn me on”

  5. A breakup

  6. A bunch of dead flowers

  7. A car air freshener

  8. A happy birthday card

  9. A horseradish root

  10. A cow keyring

Instead of waiting for the big day to find out if your partner has met your Valentine’s Day present standards, Ninja has launched an Air Fryer ‘Hinting Service’ where you can send a message to your significant other to tell them exactly which model you want. The way to a person's heart really is through their stomach, so it is no surprise that 69% of people have said they want to be gifted an air fryer this Valentine’s Day. And if you're celebrating Valentine's Day solo, why not treat yourself to the perfect gift?

All you have to do is sign up for a subtle hint, and Ninja will email a hinting postcard template, as well as a discount code to get a Ninja Air Fryer MAX PRO 6.2L AF180UK for £99.99, to avoid any gifting disappointment in 2024.
