We've all been there. You hand the love of your life the thoughtful and extremely personal Valentine's gift you ordered weeks ago, and in return he produces... a cactus. Males often come under fire on February 14 for failing to adequately prepare for the most cliché-riddled day of the lovers' calendar – except when, in a rare moment of inspired brilliance, they pull something truly special out of the bag. Here, seven male Telegraph suitors reveal their finest moment of gallantry.

Meanwhile, Stephen Doig reveals the clever ways to be frugal whilst still keeping up appearances, and we speak to readers whose snow-topped love stories have stood the test of time.

Enjoy!
