It’s hard to believe, but we’re already in February, and that means Valentine’s Day is coming up soon. If you’re scrambling to find a nice gift to give to that special someone in your life this year, have no fear, we’re here to help you track down something that’s sure to make them smile.

These aren’t just the usual flowers and chocolates, either (although we have included links to some good traditional options, if your partner prefers that). In this list, we present a number of different ideas worth thinking about alongside those more classic picks, from sweet LEGO sets to puzzles, to co-op video games that you can enjoy together. It’s also worth noting that finding a good gift doesn’t mean dropping a ton of cash. There are plenty of different options here across a range of prices, so there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy.

The timer has started and there's not long left until the big day arrives, so now is your chance to add the gift idea that catches your eye to your cart so that it arrives in time.

Valentine’s Day 2026: Surprise Them With a LEGO Set

Personally, I’m a very big LEGO fan, and the Botanicals collection is definitely worth checking out if you’re looking to give a creative spin on the usual flower bouquets this year. Whether you want classic roses or the colorful new tulip bouquet, there are so many different arrangements to choose from. Plus, these buildable bouquets don't require any watering or looking after, which is a huge bonus.

These aren’t the only sets worth looking at, though. If you'd like something that the two of you can work on together, many LEGO sets can be constructed with a partner using special co-operative instructions provided by the LEGO Builder app's Build Together mode. This is a great way to tackle a bigger set with each other's help, but even small sets can be divided in two to create a quick afternoon project. There's some great sets that utilize this mode, too. We've included just a few of our favorites below, but it's worth having a full look at all of the Build Together sets for adults that are available. There's some great LEGO gift ideas for Valentine's day in there.

Jump Into a Co-Op Game Video Game

Similar to the LEGO sets above, booting up a co-op game is another excellent way to spend time together. Whether you want to gather your party and venture forth in Baldur’s Gate 3 or be transported into the adventurous worlds of Split Fiction, there are plenty worth checking out. Some are even plucked from our list of the best co-op games, like It Takes Two, Portal 2, and Overcooked 2 (which you can get as part of the Overcooked: All You Can Eat collection).

If you've ticked all those classics off your list and need something brand new, then look no further than Tarsier Studios, the studio behind the first two Little Nightmares games. It's releasing its next game, Reanimal, on February 13, and it supports couch co-op play. If you and your player two are big horror fans looking for something spooky to play together, it seems well worth a look. And it'll arrive just in time for the big day!

Piece Together a Puzzle

Keeping with the co-operative theme here, puzzles are also a wonderful project to work on together. From complex 3D puzzles to standard 2D jigsaws, there's so many different options to consider, with each offering their own level of challenge. There's also a variety of different styles to choose from, so you can find one with a final image (or 3D form) that you'll each enjoy. Plus, who wouldn't want a Pokemon Pika puzzle?!

Speaking of Pokemon, don't forget to browse the always adorable plushies out there, sure to capture your bae's heart! This one is like a 3D valentine in itself:

The Super Bowl is one of the most-watched live events every single year. Some people watch because they love football while others only care about the halftime show. There's also that not-so-small minority only really hoping to see some hilarious Super Bowl ads. Whatever your reason for wanting to tune in to the big game this year, you still need to find a way to actually do so.

Super Bowl LX takes place on Sunday, February 8 at 3:30 p.m. PT and will air live on NBC and Peacock. The easiest way to watch for free is to just tune into your local NBC channel, but since modern smart TVs never seem to have built-in antennas anymore, that may prove a bit difficult. Fortunately, there are a few slightly more complicated ways to watch for free in 2026.

How to Watch Super Bowl 2026 for Free Online

The most straightforward way to watch the Super Bowl online for free is to take advantage of a live TV streaming service free trial. Live TV streaming services are essentially an online version of cable and are actually quite expensive, but some of them offer a free trial for new subscribers.

The Hulu + Live TV Free Trial

It can be hard to find the right gift for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. If your significant other enjoys fun and satisfying projects, you might want to get them a LEGO set. You can even build it together. Here are some excellent LEGO choices for Valentine’s Day 2026.

Spoilers follow for Luc Besson’s Dracula movie.

Dracula hit US theaters this weekend, after already opening in some parts of the world last year (titled Dracula: A Love Tale in some markets), the latest in a long line of film adaptations of Bram Stoker’s classic novel which go back over a century at this point.

Written and directed by Luc Besson, this version is rather blatantly heavily influenced by Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It similarly extrapolates beyond what Stoker wrote by adding in the idea that Dracula’s prey, Mina, is the reincarnation of the woman he lost long ago, before he became a vampire. Like in the 1992 film, this Mina (Zoë Bleu) is drawn to Dracula (Caleb Landy Jones) when she meets him, and she eventually both remembers her previous life with him and actually wants him to turn her into a vampire so they can be together forever. In the midst of this, Mina’s fiance, Jonathan Harker (Ewens Abid), and others try to stop the Count and free her, whether she wants them to or not.

However, there are many places in the Besson film where the specifics change from both the novel, Coppola’s film, and indeed most versions of Dracula. This is an often wacky, heightened and offbeat interpretation of the story, with some additions that are sometimes amusing, sometimes baffling, and sometimes a bit of both.

Here are four of the most notable differences in Besson’s Dracula, including the details of Dracula’s ultimate fate…

The Biggest Changes in Dracula 2026

Beware the Perfume of Dracula

The range of Dracula’s abilities, and the abilities of vampires in general, is often different depending on who’s telling the story, but he is frequently depicted as able to enthrall or hypnotize those he’s in close proximity to, often setting them up to be bitten by him. Besson’s Dracula goes in a wild direction with this concept though, not making it an innate power of the vampire at all, but rather something he eventually can accomplish with… a magic perfume?

Yes, thanks to the help of a world-class perfume maker in Italy – who actually proclaims “Mamma mia!” at one point – Dracula has a perfume that bewitches anyone nearby who smells it. He wants this because he wants to draw pretty much every woman possible to him so he can try to find the one who is the resurrection of his beloved Elisabeta, who he believes he’s fated to discover.

This perfume is heavily featured in the film, including in a dance-filled (!) montage sequence showing Dracula attending one fancy function after another where the women all swoon and then break into heavily choreographed group numbers, as he’s continually disappointed that none of them are Elisabeta.

The perfume becomes such a focal point of the movie for a time that it’s easy to assume that it might be an important factor in the final act in some way - whether it is thanks to Dracula using it one last time, or another character getting ahold of it. But that assumption would be wrong.

What’s in a Name?

Besides the title character, the Besson film includes two other major characters you’d expect in any Dracula adaptation, Mina and Jonathan Harker, who at least match the basic framework of their classic roles - Jonathan as a solicitor who travels to see Dracula on business, only to learn the truth about the Count, and Mina as Jonathan’s fiance, who Dracula sets his sights on.

Strangely though, every other supporting character is given a new name (or, in one noteworthy case, no name at all) even though it’s clear who they’re based upon or meant to be variations of. So basically, they pull a Half-Nosferatu. Most prominent in this regard is Christoph Waltz’s never-named “Priest,” a seen-it-all guy who’s got plenty of knowledge about vampires and is ready to hunt them. This is clearly the film’s version of the famous vampire slayer, Abraham Van Helsing, albeit with a career swap from professor to priest. Given his abundant screen time, the decision to never give him any name at all in the film is odd, though this Dracula’s got plenty of odd to go around.

Typically, Mina’s longtime best friend in the story, Lucy, is transformed into a vampire herself as the story progresses. In the new movie, Lucy’s replaced by Maria (Matilda De Angelis) in what is a more drastic change-up than others. Unlike the innocent Lucy, Maria is in fact already a longtime vampire, working for Dracula, who inserts herself into Mina’s life. Then, Maria is locked up in an asylum thanks to her unexplainable, violent and out of control behavior, as her Dracula-adoring ravings essentially turn her into a hybrid of Lucy and Dracula’s usual true believer, Renfield, who has no other corollary here.

Maria’s fiance, Henry Spencer (David Shields), meanwhile is a substitute for Lucy’s fiance, Arthur Holmwood, while Dumont (Guillaume de Tonquédec) swaps in for John Seward, though there’s no character taking the place of Quincey Morris, with this version dropping the idea of Lucy/Maria having three competing suitors before she ends up with Arthur/Henry. In the book and some film versions, Quincey plays a pretty big role in helping defeat Dracula, but as we’ll cover below, this version of the film goes in a different direction there, so he wasn’t needed…

Drac’s Little (Gargoyle) Buddies

In most versions of Dracula, if the Count isn’t alone in his castle as the story begins, he’s accompanied by his Brides, who are typically three beautiful vampire women who do his bidding (and usually make things difficult for Jonathan Harker during his stay there). Besson discards Dracula’s Brides, instead replacing them with another left-field choice in the form of a large group of diminutive gargoyles who are there to serve their master in any way he needs, whether it be serving food, helping trap his prisoners or, in the final act, battling a group of vampire hunters storming the castle with a skill set that seems Black Widow-adjacent in terms of martial arts prowess and spinning larger guys around with their legs.

During the course of the story, we never really get an explanation for who these guys are and how they connect to Dracula’s status as a vampire. But then, in the final moments, after Dracula dies, there is a visual reveal of their true identity, as they stumble out of the castle, now transformed into a group of bald little boys, which is presumably their original form.

Of course, this still doesn’t truly explain things. Were these kids transformed into gargoyles all at once or one at a time through the years? And why are they only children? Their transformation back to human occurring after Dracula dies implies he personally had the power to change people into gargoyles, so did it only work on kids? And hey, why are they all bald?

Seriously, what’s up with these little gargoyle dudes?!

Dracula Ending Explained: Dead and Hating It

Unless you’re going to change things up radically, an adaptation of Dracula is going to probably end with Dracula being defeated and dying (even if there’s eventually a sequel that somehow brings him back). This version doesn’t stray from that, albeit with its own spin on how it plays out, involving Dracula making his own decision that he should die.

In the original Bram Stoker novel, Dracula is killed at the hands of Jonathan Harker and Quincey Morris, while Universal’s iconic 1931 film version, starring Bela Lugosi, gave Van Helsing the honor of taking out the Count. However, Dracula simply allowing himself to be killed is not an entirely new idea, depending on how much the story leans into the tragic side of things for the character. In the Coppola film, Gary Oldman’s Dracula is very badly wounded – likely already fatally so – by Keanu Reeves’ Harker and Billy Campbell’s Quincey. So in the final scene, when he asks Winona Ryder’s Mina to “Give me peace,” and she tearfully obliges, it feels like he already wasn’t long(er) for this world.

Magic: The Gathering is continuing where it left off in 2025, rolling out a whopping four crossover sets under its Universes Beyond branding in 2026: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Marvel Super Heroes, The Hobbit, and Star Trek.

That’s quite the mix, but at a time when fans are crying out for some consistency and continuity, Wizards of the Coast is about to make the same mistake it made with last year’s marketing cycle.

In short, it feels like it can’t wait to get Secrets of Strixhaven out of the way, forgetting why many people play Magic in the first place.

Magic’s Universes Beyond Sets Shouldn’t Come At The Cost Of Its Own Identity

There’s a running joke that Magic crossovers are the worst thing about the game until it’s a franchise you love, and as a longtime fan of Peter Parker’s adventures, I admit I bought into the Spider-Man hype last year.

It was easy to do, too, since Wizards started revealing cards and products super early, trampling over the Edge of Eternities set in the process. The rest, as they say, is history: Spider-Man was inarguably Magic’s most disappointing set of at least the last year (maybe longer), and Edge of Eternities was much more well-received but invariably didn’t get its chance in the limelight.

While I was hoping that Wizards would take some lessons from it, we’re now entering a 2026 roadmap with seven full sets planned. Lorwyn Eclipsed is great, and only just launched, but that’s January’s set. Preorders are now live for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Secrets of Strixhaven, and even Marvel Super Heroes.

That last set, by the way, is around five months from launch. While I appreciate that a company needs a line on a graph to go up to show success by bringing in new players, it’s starting to feel like Wizards of the Coast is trampling on Magic’s own legacy in its desperation to talk about crossover sets.

Lorwyn Eclipsed should be a celebration, a chance to return to a beloved Plane full of classic creature types, and instead, we’re getting close to the Turtles landing on store shelves. Looking past Strixhaven to a Marvel crossover, this early (and with the taste of the Spider-Man set still lingering), is just a bad look.

Please, Wizards - don’t let Secrets of Strixhaven suffer the same way Edge of Eternities is. It’s almost unavoidable with such a packed release calendar, but if you can’t pay enough time to your own universes, the ones that have captivated players for over three decades, does that not tell you a change is required?

Honestly, all of this is moot anyway - I’m part of the problem. I’ve pre-ordered some Marvel Superheroes products, and you can bet your Bilbo Baggins that I’ll be first in line for The Hobbit.

Why Isn't My Dress to Impress Code Working?

If the code you're trying to redeem in DTI isn't working, it's likely because of one of two reasons:

• The Dress to Impress code is expired
• There's a spelling mistake in the code

When inputting a DTI code in Roblox, make sure it's spelled correctly (for example, a capital I isn't a lowercase l, 0 and not O, and vice versa) and that there are no spaces before or after the code. We'd recommend copying and pasting codes straight from our article to ensure they're correct as we've tested and verified that the codes on this page are working ourselves.

If your DTI code still isn't working after checking for typos, it's more than likely expired and can no longer be redeemed in Dress to Impress.
