Valentine's Day can really sneak up on you. Our minds are still clouded by Christmas and the New Year, and then in what feels like the blink of an eye, we're faced with Valentine's Day and the prospect of buying a perfect gift.

Sure you could turn to flowers and a nice card, or chocolates, or jewellery, and as much as all of that is very nice, it's a little cliché. Sometimes cliché is good, don't get us wrong, but we'd be willing to bet that you've probably given those gifts before, and whoever you are buying for is probably expecting something along those lines.

Well why don't you break from tradition this year and really surprise your recipient? A DNA test kit is not only a thoughtful gift but it's also pretty unconventional, in a good way. Giving a DNA test kit as a gift will not only be a big surprise, but it also shows that you've made an effort to move away from the same old gifts you always give.

The MyHeritage DNA test kit allows users to discover their ancestry and find relatives that they never knew existed on both the maternal and paternal sides. Users get a detailed ethnicity breakdown with one of the most comprehensive lists of ethnicities in the industry. All that's required is a very simple cheek swab that takes only two minutes to complete.

You can also save £16 on a MyHeritage DNA test kit, currently reduced from £75 to £59 in the Valentine's Day sale.
