18 Romantic Valentine’s Gift Ideas For Him He’d Love

Have a special man in your life you really want to give a Valentine’s gift he’ll appreciate? If you’re like many women, it can feel like all the gifts you would want to get are expensive and way out of your budget. So what can you do?

Yes, it would be great to get something in the ilk of a PS5 (or other pricey gadgets), car parts, a well-tailored suit, or Rolex but maybe you genuinely aren’t able to splurge hundreds to thousands of dollars on gifts just yet. And that’s totally fine. You can still get manage to source out something cool that isn’t yet another pair of briefs.

Cheap Valentine’s gifts don’t have to mean tacky. If you think a little of a gift he’d love, you are sure to land on something. Plus, not that many men get gifts typically. So you would be doing something uncommon.

Here to help you out are 15 gift ideas for your man you can use

1. Food & drinks

This works even better when he lives alone. Picture him coming home to a fridge stacked with nicely cooked meals and drinks that can serve his stomach for days! It’s gesture is a winner and one he’d love you for.

You could choose to create a special dinner or surprise brunch instead of bulked meals.
Whether you are preparing these meals yourself or having them ordered, the effort would be appreciated. Eating together also helps you both share more moments together and create memories.

2. Footwear

Be it sneakers, work shoes, or slides, footwear makes for a great Valentine’s Day gift for men because it is both practical and stylish. A good pair of shoes can be worn for various occasions making it a versatile gift. 

Additionally, many men do pay attention to the shoes they wear and appreciate a quality pair. So well-picked-out footwear that need not be an expensive brand is a practical and stylish gift that can be enjoyed for years to come.

3. Clothing and Apparel 

Clothing gifts are nice for your man because it gives him the opportunity to update his wardrobe and express their personal style. Not many men tend to do this on their own.

A new shirt, jacket, cufflinks, leather belt, tie, sunshades, face cap, et al can make a man feel extra confident and put-together, whether he’s dressing for work, leisure, or a special occasion. Clothing is a practical gift that can be used on a daily basis and doesn’t have to break the bank. You can throw in helpful items like a shoe horn and lint remover too.

Furthermore, giving a man a clothing item that you picked out for him shows that you pay attention to his taste and personal style, which is a great way to show that you care. Overall, clothing is a practical, stylish and thoughtful gift that can help men look and feel their best.

4. Headphones, Earphones 

These are also great gifts because they are both functional and personal. Your man could be amongst those who enjoy listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks, and a good-quality pair of headphones or earphones can enhance the listening experience.

Whether for use in a long commute, a workout at the gym, or a trip, these offer a way for the recipient to enjoy his own music or audio in a shared space. It is a thoughtful and personal gift that can be enjoyed on a daily basis, and a great way to show that you care about your man’s interests and enjoyment.

Pro tip – Select a model that can connect with his smartphone and other devices and has the noise-cancelling feature if possible.

5. Perfume 

I’m yet to see a man who doesn’t like a good cologne/fragrance. You can get your man smelling like a million bucks with a good perfume! A good fragrance can make him feel more confident and super attractive on a daily basis.

Perfumes also evoke memories and emotions, and choosing a scent that you think he would like can be a thoughtful way to show that you care. Also, it can be a way to add a touch of luxury to his everyday routine and make him feel special.

6. Food supplements

These can be great as a gift, especially for someone who won’t think to buy them for himself. If he is someone who wants to keep fit and healthy, there are great products you can get him well beyond protein shakes. 

There are those that can help him be energetic, sharp, and productive, exercise better, lose weight, and aid his nutrition. A healthier man is a happier and more lovable man.

7. Skincare products

Hey, men need to have good-looking skin too. As men often neglect their skin, a skincare set can be a lovely gift that shows you care about his appearance and overall well-being. Plus, if he is in the habit of “pilfering” yours normally, having his own means he can finally stop it and that’s a win-win in my book.

8. Car accessories 

Ever thought of a car accessory as a gift for your man? They can serve as tasteful Valentine’s Day gifts for men because many men take pride in their vehicles and enjoy customising them. There are a wide variety of options available to choose from that suit different tastes and make his driving experience more enjoyable.

You can get a car phone holder that makes driving safer and handling the phone easier to do. You can get air fresheners that make his rides a constantly sweet experience. Stylish seat covers, floor mats, and steering wheel covers are other things you can get to improve the overall look and feel of a car.

In the end, he’ll know you care about his beloved car because he does, and love you for it.

9. Workout gear

Is your man an exercise junkie or looking to improve in that department? Workout gear that supports his fitness goals can be the perfect gift for him! It could also help with staying motivated and focused, and also show your support of his activities.

Workout clothes like track pants, gym shoes, water bottles, weights, dumbbells, jump rope, fitness tracker, or even a gym bag are good things you can give him. Talk about a very useful and practical gift. 

10. Sports paraphernalia

It’s not news that men often have a strong connection to their favourite sports teams and players. So, giving him a piece of memorabilia related to that team or player can be super thoughtful and meaningful. It shows that you care about his interests.
 
Jerseys, caps, and collectible items can be worn or displayed and enjoyed for a long time. Overall, a good way to show your love and appreciation for the special man in your life.

11. Docking station

This can be such a handy gift! Especially for someone who tends to place his commonly used items like his watch, phone, and keys all over the place. There are stylish-looking docking stations you can get to solve this problem. This way, you retire from being part of the search team for what ends up missing in the house.

12. Laptop, work, travel bags

In today’s fast-paced world, many men rely heavily on their laptop, work, and travel bags to stay organised and productive in their professional lives. Gifting him a good-quality and durable bag shows that you understand and support his needs, while also giving him a very useful and multifunctional gift he will appreciate.

They are great companions for men who travel frequently for work or leisure to help stay on top of things, keep their essential items safe and secure, and be comfortable during their trips. The more good-looking this bag can be ladies, the better.

13. Wallet

Essential items such as cash, cards, and IDs go into a man’s wallet. For something he’d use every day, this is a very practical gift he’d appreciate. It doesn’t have to be basic. A good leather wallet never runs out of style.

Whether he is a minimalist or a very fashion-conscious person, there are wallets you can get that fit his style. Additionally, you could also personalise the wallet with his initials, a special message, or a significant date. This makes the gift even more thought-out and unique.

14. Toolbox 

A very practical gift especially if he’s a handyman or one who loves DIY projects. A good toolbox can serve as a great investment and make it easier for him to go about his business. Whether to maintain and repair things around the house or even pursue a hobby or passion in an area such a tool is needed.

It’s a good way to show your support and appreciation for your partner’s interests and skills and it will remind him of your thoughtfulness every time he uses it.

15. Books 

For an avid reader, this is a great gift to get that would tug on his heart strings. Maybe it’s a fiction collection that he’s really into. Personal development books that he’s really into. Or even comics. Such books can make for good gifts.

16. Paid service gestures

Nothing beats a good act of service that shows you care. Doing things he often does himself like paying to have his car serviced or renewing his subscription at the gym can serve as a very thoughtful gift. That’s something men would love to experience. Just filling up his car tank with gas counts for something too!

Things like house cleaning and home repairs are good too and also unconventional.

17. Take him out for something

Your gift doesn’t have to be an item. It can be a memorable experience. For instance, taking him to a gaming centre or paint balling. Even a car showroom to have a feel of appealing automobiles he could even test drive!

18. Celebrate him publicly

Men love to know they are appreciated too. If you know it would mean a lot to your person to see himself celebrated publicly by you, then it’s a good idea to do it. Show him off and tell the world how loved he is by you. Not with the sole intention to gather likes on Instagram but as a special tribute to a person who rocks your world. 

See that these gifts are great and affordable? I trust you’d go on to have a wonderful Valentine’s day. You’re welcome.
