What to get him for Valentine’s Day
Buying something special for your partner’s Valentine’s Day gift can be tricky, especially if you pulled out all the stops for their Christmas gifts just a couple of months ago. While it’s traditional to go for something small, sweet and heartfelt at this time of year, it’s not always easy to come up with something that has that personal touch.
Below, we suggest a range of gifts and ways to personalise them for the man in your life this Valentine’s Day.
What To buy Him For Valentine’s Day
While buying for anyone has its challenges, buying Valentine’s gifts for men can be even more difficult, as many retailers put the spotlight on ladies for this romantic day. But don’t despair! Although you might not find as many tailor-made Valentine’s branded gifts for men, there are still plenty of touching options available to show your man you care.
Of course, these are merely suggestions, and you might find they don’t all suit your beau. Whatever the case, we hope our recommendations get you a little closer to the problem of having too many ideas to choose from rather than too few.
Food And Drinks
They say the shortest path to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so if your partner is a foodie, why not get him a special treat to celebrate Valentine’s Day? Whether it’s a pricier favourite he usually saves for special occasions or a cherished experience such as a romantic shared meal, something tasty on the tongue is often a great gifting option.
And remember, food and drinks don’t always have to be about consumables. Why not go for memories instead? A culinary masterclass or a wine-tasting evening could be the perfect way to spend some time together this Valentine’s Day.
Flowers
Bouquets might typically be considered more of a feminine gift, but it’s worth remembering that fellas like flowers too. The surprise of a fresh bouquet of roses might be the one to bring a smile to your beau’s face - or perhaps you could do a bit of sleuthing to identify his favourite flower instead! Whatever the case, flowers can be a heartwarming unexpected gift for your partner.
Hobbies
The idea behind food and flowers is to get your loved one something that will make him happy, but if you’re struggling to come up with something that feels personal enough, why not opt to piggyback on something you already know makes him happy? That’s where hobbies and pastimes come in.
Maybe there’s a special yarn he’d love to use in his knitting, but you know he wouldn’t buy it for himself. Perhaps he could use some new gear for sports and workouts, or maybe he’s been dreaming of the expansion pack for that game he enjoys playing. The opportunities are endless.
Loungewear
We all love being cosy and comfortable when we have some downtime, so why not upgrade your partner’s loungewear selection with a special something? Whether it’s a fleece-lined hoodie to keep them warm on winter evenings or a pair of versatile joggers, your partner is sure to appreciate a thoughtful and well-chosen item.
Underwear
Finally, there’s no reason to avoid an old classic. Sexy undies might be a staple of the ‘for her’ category of Valentine’s gifts, but that’s not to say you can’t treat your man to a set of new stylish boxer briefs in return. With more and more styles coming out every year, you’re sure to find something just right for him.
Whether you choose to opt for just one of these items or to bundle a few together into a Valentine’s gift basket, we hope these ideas have proved inspiring.
Happy Valentine’s!
