First Valentine's Day Gifts : Thoughtful Ideas for New Relationships

Perfect for relationships that are a little more established, these gifts are all about celebrating your budding romance in style.

• Jewellery: A heart locket necklace or a personalised leather bracelet is a classic, meaningful choice.
• Flowers: Why not consider a dried flower bouquet for a gift that lasts longer?
• Date Night Kits: Plan a special evening with wine glasses and candles for a traditional gesture.

For something personal but not overwhelming, keepsakes are a great option.

• Personalised Gifts: Consider a birth flower or birthstone bracelet, an engraved keyring, or a framed photo.
• Handwritten Letters: Pair a heartfelt note with a small gift to show thoughtfulness.
• DIY: A handmade scrapbook or a jar of reasons you love them is budget-friendly and impactful.

Keep it playful and relaxed with quirky, thoughtful gifts.

• Novelty Items: Think slipper socks, fun mugs, or quirky homeware.
• Hobby-Related Gifts: A book, cooking kit, or even a small plant for them to nurture.
• Sweet Treats: Chocolates, gourmet popcorn, or a box of macarons are always a hit.

Tip: Align your gift with the stage of your relationship to avoid setting expectations too high or feeling underwhelmed.

Yes, but keep it simple! For relationships that are brand new, thoughtful yet low-pressure gifts are the way to go.

• Food Gifts: A box of their favourite chocolates, a homemade dinner, or their tipple of choice is a thoughtful gift that isn't too overboard.

• Books: Either pick a couple you think they'll enjoy or choose a few from a series they're already interested in, showing you've considered their interests.

• Plants: A mini succulent, a herb kit, or gardening tools is a lovely way to say ‘I like you.’

• Experiences: A gift card to their favourite coffee shop, theatre tickets, a fun day out or a cinema night is a gift you can both enjoy together.

• Homeware: Something simple and small like a scented candle or desktop accessories can be chosen in their favourite scents, colours or patterns for a personal touch.

Tip: The thought and effort always matter more than the size or cost of the gift.

Finding a gift for him that balances practicality, sentimentality, and fun can be tricky, but here are some ideas to suit different styles and budgets.
