By Sophie Carter - 3rd January 2025
For all who celebrate, Valentine's Day is a heartfelt commemoration of love, commitment, friendship, and admiration. While the exchanging of cards, letters, and gifts feels customary to many, there are always partners who insist they don't want or need anything on February 14th, and while time spent together is usually enough, entering the celebration empty-handed isn't for everyone. You may know from previous years that he loves to shower you with gifts, and this year, despite him telling you not to, you want to spoil him rotten too. Whether you splash out on something statement, or you treat him to a treasurable token, you'll want your gift to be full of thought and sentiment, and you may be feeling stumped on where to start. This comprehensive guide to Valentine's Day gifts for men is on hand to ensure you find him the perfect gift, to help kickstart the day of love in the very best way.

What non-material gifts can I get a man for Valentine's Day?
With so many gifting occasions throughout the year, and with Valentine's Day hot on the heels of Christmas, it can feel overwhelming to some to buy, gift, and receive more material items. But even if your partner is a stickler for ‘less is more’, it doesn't mean you can't still treat them to something special. There are many ways to gift something meaningful and treasurable without spending a penny, or showering them with material goods. A handmade gift can be just as treasured, and perhaps even more sentimental than something you've bought, particularly if you're of a crafty nature. Below are some ideas of thoughtful gifts that can be easily crafted at home at minimal cost to you:
A love letter - simple but sentimental. Fill the page with your musings on your relationship so far, and how much you adore that person
A jar full of ‘love vouchers’ that can be redeemed whenever they feel the need to pull one out. Think date nights, words of affirmation, or a simple hug
A handmade home accessory such as a cross-stitch, an origami or clay sculpture, a painting, or a filled photo/memory album
Their favourite treats baked by you, exclusively for them, whether it's cookies, a cake, pastries, or a loaf of crusty bread
A bouquet of seasonal flowers from your garden, because contrary to popular belief, men like flowers too!
Prefer to do something special with your partner to commemorate your relationship? An experience gift will always be welcomed. Many men like to get out and about with their partner and make memories, so a gift that requires no physical items passing from one of you to the other is a win on both counts. Here are some exciting experience gift ideas he'll likely remember for many Valentine's Days to come:
Enjoy a date night featuring a delicious meal at your joint favourite restaurant
Go on a wine, gin, or whisky tasting or tour together, and sample your joint favourite tipples
Partake in a fun physical activity such as a dance class, rock climbing, bowling, or mini golf
Settle down for a picnic in your favourite spot, whether on the beach, in the park, or even just in your garden!
Explore the outdoors together with a refreshing hike in a beauty spot you both adore
However you choose to celebrate Valentine's Day, it's easy to get swept up in yet another gifting event, and many can begin to lose sight of what the day is actually about. If you find you're too bogged down in gift-buying to take stock of the importance of the day, give yourself a gentle reminder that your partner loves you endlessly, and will likely just be grateful for your time, energy, and love on the day. While sweet gifts and wonderful words can guarantee a smile, spending quality time together is what Valentine's Day is all about. This guide should have given you great ideas in abundance for treating that magical man in your life, but ultimately, your love for him should shine far beyond any glorious gift you present to him on February 14th.
If you're still open to ideas, our Valentine's Day shop is packed with pieces for lovers of all things practical, personal, or playful.
If he's notoriously hard to buy for on any gifting occasion, explore our Gifts for Men edit to find something you know he'll truly appreciate.
