Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Men

This is a collaborative post: A Valentine’s Day gift for the man in your life can be quite tricky to get right. You don’t want something too obvious – and it is blatantly sexist but you can’t really just go with chocolates and flowers. However, there are a ton of great gifts to choose from if you just know where to look.

Here are ten ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts for the special man in your life. 

1. Jewellery

Jewellery might be a more obvious gift for a woman but sites like Helloice have ranges for men, too. Whether it’s a sovereign ring or a pendant chain, they offer more unusual jewellery for both men and women..

2. Slippers

Absolutely not a sign that you’re getting old! Never underestimate the power of a pair of comfortable and warm slippers. Sheepskin slippers are not only some of the best around, but they are also very durable, can last a number of years, and are some of the cosiest slippers you will ever wear. 

3. Cast Iron Pan

If your man has a passion for cooking then why not get your man a brand-new cast iron skillet? They are great for all kinds of meat and give you that delicious charred flavour you would get on the grill. 

Speaking of the grill, cast irons can be used on them too and are perfect for making a one-pan meal like a breakfast hash. 

4. Barbeque

The better weather is just around the corner so, if you want to splash a bit of cash, there are dozens of barbeques on the market and the prices vary so much there is definitely something that will suit your budget. There is also no need to get one that cooks enough food for twenty people; a small one is more than enough for a couple or a small family. 

5. Brew Your Own Beer Kit

If your man loves to crack open a cold beer after a long day, take the experience to the next level by letting him create his own. Beer brewing kits are simple to use and understand and will allow him to craft his own special batch of beer tuned to his liking. 

6. Shaving Set

Obviously not one for the full-bearded man, but a well-made shaving set can be a game-changer for a beard or shaving routine. Do away with a retail razor and instead use a razor, shaving cream and shaving brush that looks like it comes out of a royal’s bathroom. 

 The price of these kits can vary greatly depending on the materials used and the brand name, but even the more affordable ones are exceptionally well-made and will last for years to come. 

7. Coffee Maker

Considering coffee is the morning drink of choice for many people, why not make it one of the best drinks of the day? A coffee maker, whether it be a ground-bean machine or a pod machine, can create a delicious coffee that will rival Starbucks. 

The capabilities of the machines vary from simple cappuccinos to being able to make all kinds of lattes and iced coffees. 

8. Comforpedic Pillow

This will change your life! The number of people who have constant head, neck, shoulder and back pain simply due to sleeping on the wrong pillow is much higher than you think. There are few positions your body spends more time doing than lying down; therefore, you need the best and most supportive pillow. 

A Comforpedic pillow is designed to keep your head and neck in the best sleeping position no matter how you sleep at night or which problems you may experience. 

9. Bespoke Toolbox

If your man thinks he is the King of D.I.Y., then he needs a toolbox to match his title. While you can buy a ton of different types of toolboxes, opt for something a bit more special by getting one made for him. 

Websites like Etsy have dozens of carpenters and metalworkers that are more than capable of making a bespoke toolbox that can have almost any features and designs you want. 

10. Mini Massage Gun

If your fella likes to workout then a massage gun is a must have item! Not only do they help your muscles relax, but they can also be used to warm your muscles up before a workout. While the full-size massage gun may be unnecessary or out of your price range, you get mini massage guns that can be just as effective. 

They are compact but pack a ton of ton of power; they are more than enough for massaging out muscle knots or soreness.
