The best Valentine's gifts for him
Whether he's a sensitive soul who loves a good soak in the bath or a speed demon who craves adventure, here's our pick of the best Valentine's Day gifts for him, featuring gift ideas for all budgets and pressies to please every sort of fella we can think of.
If he's an AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego)
If he's into LEGO and is a fan of the Dune books and films there is literally no better present. This brand new LEGO® Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter set features 1,369 pieces so he can build the iconic aircraft from the movie Dune: Part One.
If he loves a fancy date night
Treat him to the ultimate date night with three restaurant-quality courses - French Onion Soup with Comté cheese croutons and Fougasse, Ribeye Steak, creamed spinach and frites, and Crème Caramel - delivered to your door.
If he's an adrenaline-junkie
If the most exciting driving experience he has these days is the school run, gift him the joy of an hour or so behind the wheel of an F1 car. He’ll get a full briefing before being let lose so he can really put his foot down in a single-seater F1000.
If he's a romantic at heart
For a really original gift, fill the pages of this personalised poetry anthology with poems of your choice to send a thoughtful message about just how much he means to you on Valentine's Day and always.
If beats are his jam
After kids, everything gets extremely loud. Show him you care by gifting him peace and quiet with these noise-cancelling headphones from Sony. They connect to two Bluetooth devices and run for 35 hours on one charge.
If he's a bath-loving bloke
Elevate his bathtimes with this super stylish bath caddy. This clever piece of kit allows him to watch his iPad, read a book, eat snacks, and have a quiet glass of red, all from the comfort of a warm bath.
If he's a-walk-and-a-pint kind of man
A guide for men who love nothing better than a good walk followed by an even better pint. With handy pull-out cards and a plastic sleeve for wetter days, this gift offers stacks of info so you know what you’re getting before the wellies come off.
If he loves a good malt
If your man enjoys a wee dram as a nightcap, treat him to a monthly whiskey subscription. Choose from the best traditional Scottish single malts and/or whiskeys from around the world and opt for a six-month or annual subscription.
If your sweetheart has a sweet tooth
Probably the best thing he’ll ever get in the post, this selection of treats includes Phizzy Pig Tails, Percy Pig Party Time, and Percy Fruit chews as well as chocolate lollies and pennies. Good luck keeping them away from the kids though.
If he's a beer bro
Show him that your love is from another galaxy with this Star Wars craft beer gift set. Containing five beers, four coasters, pitta chips, and a pink glass, it'll give him a chance to unwind, relax, and consider that he’s the luckiest man in the universe.
If he's crazy about coffee
Sometimes life’s little pleasures mean the most, like a great cup of coffee. This limited-edition tin designed by visual artist Shantell Martin containing ethically sourced whole bean or ground coffee from small-scale sustainable farms should hit the spot.
If he's a sophisticated gent
Show him you all love him with these one-of-a-kind lambswool scarves. These designs are personalised with a copy of your child’s artwork which is engraved onto a leather patch that is then stitched onto the scarf, making it truly unique.
If he's given up booze
Packed full of hangover-free treats including elderflower pressé from Belvoir Farm, Coaltown's hand-roasted Black Gold ground coffee, and award-winning cheddar from Snowdonia, this luxury alcohol-free hamper is a real treat.
If he's handy around the house
Got a DIY enthusiast on your hands? Whether it’s painting the baby’s nursery, putting up a new shelf, or mending the climbing frame, this gift card will help him get all the tools and equipment he needs.
If he's an action man
Done himself a mischief at the gym? Ease sore muscles with this neat little recovery kit. Products include rosemary and sage-infused Himalayan bath salts, a mint shower steamer, an essential oil muscle rub, and espresso dark chocolate.
If he's the King to your Queen
Show him he's the king of your heart with this set of matching PJs, handmade from cotton and printed in the UK. You can both choose between pyjama bottoms with or without a cuff at the ankle. Perfect for a good night’s sleep (unless the kids wake up, of course).
If he's a man who loves a mini-break
Nipping away for a weekend might take a bit more planning these days than it used to, but this bold and brightly coloured holdall means that when you do escape together, you’ll do it in style. The tiger print-lined interior is just as show-stopping as the exterior too.
If he loves a cheeky board game
There’s always room for a jokey Valentine’s Day pressie and, if your man doesn’t like to take himself too seriously, this might be just what you’re after. Decide which player is most likely to do the actions on the card – think almond milk, vegan chocolate, and Sam Smith and you’re halfway there.
If he's a snack monster
Say it with chocolate… and this cute candygram gift. Available to buy with or without chocolate (which include a Boost, Starburst, Crunchie, Galaxy, Love Hearts and Millions Strawberry Tube), this ‘gram is a fun way to treat chocoholics to their favourite sweet treats.
If he spends ages you-know-where
If he's always in the bathroom, make it more of a quality experience with this book - perfect toilet reading. He can teach himself how a starfish eats a clam and learn to say ‘hello’ in every European language. A fascinating read to keep him entertained all year.
If he likes to smell good
If he's into looking good and taking care of himself, treat him to this lovely citrussy shower and prep gift set. Not only will he appreciate the invigorating scent but you'll get to enjoy him smelling irresistible too... win!
How to choose the best Valentine's gifts for him
Our Consumer Editor, Heidi Scrimgeour, shares her top tips for choosing the best Valentine's Day gifts for him:
"The secret to choosing the best Valentine's gift for a boyfriend or husband is easy - select something that makes him feel thought of and appreciated - but also a little flirted with. If in doubt, go for a silly gift that will raise a smile - laughter is an aphrodisiac, after all. Failing that, focus on his passions overall. A foodie fella will definitely appreciate a cooking kit or a Valentine's hamper full of tasty treats. And if you're really stuck when it comes to the best Valentine's gift for him, think about the things he enjoys doing. Create memories with an experience day or pick a personalised gift that will mean so much more to him than something off the shelf."
- Ask him what he'd like
Asking someone what they'd like for a gift seems unromantic but far better to ask and get something they'll truly appreciate than go for a gesture that falls a bit flat. - Get personal
Personalised items are top sellers for Valentine's Day gifts so give a little bit of thought to what he loves, and then add a personal twist. - Make it memorable
As parents, it's tricky to take time out to celebrate being a couple but Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to make a bit of a fuss of each other. Memories matter! - Consider his love language
If you've read The 5 Love Languages (£8.39, Amazon) you'll know that love languages - quality time, affirmation, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch - influence how we react to certain gifts. Essential reading if you want to get it right!
Having been married for 25 years - no, she doesn't look old enough - Heidi knows a thing or two about Valentine's Day gifts. Her top tip is to go for something personalised. 'I absolutely love personalised books like Ten Reasons Why I Love you (£24.99, Wonderbly) as they make the most thoughtful gifts that only become more meaningful over time.
