Simple Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him
Valentine’s Day is coming up (how did that happen!?) and it’s time for us to figure out what to buy for Valentine’s day, but also make sure the gifts don’t seem half-arsed or impersonal. So, I scoured the net and found some Valentine’s day gift ideas that are special enough for that special man in your life (which can also double up as great date night ideas too!) Here are simple Valentine’s Day gifts for him.
A quick getaway trip
For an outdoorsy Valentine’s day surprise for him would be a quick getaway trip with just the two of you, kid-free and enjoying life.

A wooden docking station
Useful gifts for men for Valentine’s Day always go down well, especially if it’s a wooden docking station to house his manly essentials.
Simple Valentine’s Day gifts for him – A personalised wallet
My husband walked around with a tattered wallet for years before I decided he needed to say goodbye to it forever. Wallets make great gifts for men for Valentine’s day, so I went on the hunt for a decent wallet that would house his cards, notes and coins. I thought it would take me minutes, but it turned out to be a selection headache, because of the sheer volume of wallets available online.
I found a personalised service and stumbled upon an online company called Farrar & Tanner, which offers an impressive selection of high-quality personalised wallets you can gift wrap and offer as an awesome Valentine gift for men.
Boots are made for walking
Your man is up and about all the time, so buying him a nice pair of boots made for walking to work, dropping the kids to school/activities and going on great dates (with you of course) would seem the ideal and practical choice for Valentine’s Day. Jacamo

Give him the gift of experience that you both can enjoy
Wine Tasting Break for Two from Into The Blue
How many dates have you been on together without the kids? A lot? Not enough? None at all? Then why don’t you create a bucket list of Valentine’s stuff to do, double up your Valentine’s gift and buy an experience that both of you can enjoy together? It’s much needed time for you two to rekindle that flame, especially when the kids have taken up so much of your time!

If your man is a beer fan, then you can save him the trouble of going down the pub and buy him his own home brew kit, complete with a beer dispenser too. It will score you lots of woman points!

A love story that is immortalised in a beautifully documented photo book is one of the best personalised Valentine’s Day gifts you can give a loved one.

Personalised calendar
We’re only in the 2nd month of the year, so providing your other half a personalised wall calendar, decorated with photos, would be a lovely fit for their office or on the kitchen wall. Mark all the important dates and various personal information on their calendar, like your birthday, so they don’t have any excuse to forget! The above Photo Calendar in the image is in XL format, which is huge, but if you wanted to opt for something smaller you could go for either an A3 format or an A4 format.
Personalised mugs double up as great gifts for Valentine’s day for him! Whenever your loved one needs a quick pick-me-up, they can enjoy their favourite drink while reminiscing. You can pick from a Coloured Mug, Magic Mug (where your personalised pictures show up when hot liquid is poured into the mug) and a Latte Mug, which you can see in the image above.
Whiskey Glass Set
A perfect Valentine’s day gift for him could be a whiskey glass set* if he enjoys a tipple or two. There are some lovely personalised whiskey glass sets on Amazon* to choose from and you don’t have to stick to whiskey. You could even go for wine glasses or gin glasses – whatever he likes!

Keep your man looking trim
Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver with Travel Case* from Amazon UK
If you want the perfect Valentine’s day gift for men then keep your man trim and looking good with a shaving/grooming kit. My husband spends ages working on his beard and he shaves his head every other day. So, the Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver with Travel Case would be one of my Valentine’s gifts for him, as he’ll fully use it.
A day without the kids
You don’t have to always buy gifts on Valentine’s Day. Ship the kids off to the grandparents or hire a babysitter and take the day together. You could stroll along the park, go to the cinema, enjoy a nice meal together or even stay indoors by yourself and just be together. The point is to claw back that time that made you a couple before kids came along and dashed your chance of any together time.
Whatever your choice, make sure Valentine’s day gifts for men comes from the heart and I’m sure he’ll love them.
