As Valentine’s Day approaches, couples everywhere are preparing for their candlelit dinners and grand romantic gestures… But perhaps the 14th isn’t just about spending quality time together. Maybe it’s also a chance to celebrate the characters that bring you joy all year round. Take a look at our best third wheels that are destined to make your Valentine’s Day more delightful.
Hello Kitty Travel Mug: A Sweet Companion for On‑the‑Go Dates
Hello Kitty is one of the cutest and most recognisable characters in the world, being an icon for 50+ years. Any media involving her encourages kindness, thoughtfulness and friendship, which are great foundations for any relationship. That’s why the Hello Kitty Travel Mug is the perfect companion for a Valentine’s date with someone on-the-go.
Made for long, thoughtful walks, hiking trips or running errands together, this 350ml (11 fl oz) travel cup comes with a lid to help avoid spills, perfect for holding an iced coffee or a nice chilled rosé.
Fortnite Durrr Burger Mug: The Perfect Match for Your Gamer Valentine
It’s no small feat to pry your partner away from their console, especially when they’re likely mid‑Fortnite battle and completely absorbed in the action. Therefore, the fact that they’ve stepped away to spend Valentine’s Day with you is nothing short of heroic. To honour this noble act, you’ve decided to bring along their favourite mug: the Durrr Burger Shaped Mug.
It may not scream romance, with its tongue lolling out and its eyes pointing in two completely different directions (perfect for keeping watch on both of you during the date), but he is the mascot of one of Fortnite’s most iconic rival fast‑food chains and is sure to bring a fun energy to the date.
Stitch Straw Toppers: A Cute Surprise for Any Valentine’s Drink
2025 welcomed the Stitch resurgence for an entirely new generation, with the live‑action film smashing record after record. That’s why adding the Stitch Straw Toppers to any date, meet‑up, or Galentine’s gathering is sure to be a warm and delightful surprise.
Each topper comes in a blind bag, adding a touch of mystery to which character you’ll receive: Stitch, Angel, Leroy, or the limited‑edition Scrump chaser. Their low price point makes them an affordable addition to any gifting moment, perfect for popping alongside a dozen red roses or slipping into a cute goodie bag.
Winnie the Pooh Light: Cosy Glow for a Wholesome Valentine’s Night In
Maybe your partner is more of a lover of the classics. A little old‑school, even. As this year marks the centenary of Winnie the Pooh, what could be a more charming addition to your date night than our Winnie the Pooh Light?
Offering gentle, warm mood lighting in the shape of one of the world’s most beloved bears, it creates a cosy atmosphere ideal for an evening in, whether you’re cooking dinner together or curled up with a film.
Minecraft Wolf Light: A Playful Touch for Your Future‑Planning Date
Perhaps, amidst all this romance, it’s time to talk about your future. Days like these are perfect for introducing meaningful topics into the mix. You gather your courage and finally say it – you want to get a dog.
However, your partner counters with a slightly unexpected proposal. Instead of a real, adorable little creature, why not fill the house with Minecraft memorabilia of ‘Dennis’, the loyal wolf from the Minecraft movie? It’s hard to argue when they present the Wolf GloBuddies Light, with its cheerful glow and playful design making a surprisingly compelling case. It’s not a puppy, but at least your home will be a little brighter.
