The 10 Best Gift Ideas For Him This Valentine’s Day

1. Socks and Underwear

Yes, socks and underwear are always at the top of every “Valentine’s Day gifts for him” list, but it’s for good reason. These are something he’ll always need, and always want. For the dapper man in your world, wrap up the Tuxedo Bamboo Crew Socks from Mitch Dowd. Not only are these socks crafted for all-day comfort, but they’re also 100% Carbon Neutral. Good for his feet, and good for the planet. 
Pair his brand-new socks with comfortable underwear, like the Boxer Trad from Calvin Klein. Luxurious enough for everyday comfort, and in a neutral colour to match every ensemble, watch his eyes light up when he sees Calvin Klein’s signature logo.

2. Gym & Activewear

This one is for the gym junkies and the activewear aficionados. Gym gear is something that he will rarely update himself, but will be overjoyed to have. Whether it’s a brand-new fitness ensemble, a new water bottle, or stylish sneakers he can wear to the gym or out and about, activewear is always a good idea. We love the New Balance 2002R Sneaker for its versatility and vintage style. A redesign of the much-loved 2010 sneaker, this new-and-improved shoe takes the original design and adds a few modern-performance upgrades to ensure comfort and support with every stride, whether he’s rocking them at the court, at the running track, or on the weekend.

3. Cuff Links

A handsome addition to the modern man’s wardrobe, cufflinks are a wonderfully stylish option for Valentine’s Day. Gift him a set of cufflinks that work with the most suiting options and colours, like the Simony Cufflink With Enamel Face from BOSS. Available in navy or black, these cuff links will be a staple accessory for any formal occasion.

4. Wallet

Wallets have quickly become a go-to gifting option as it is another essential everyday item that rarely gets updated. This Valentine’s Day hit refresh on his wallet game with a new design that will last him for years to come. Wave goodbye to noisy coins and bulky wallets; sleek and sturdy, the Kaiilo Webbing Cardholder from Ted Baker will be his new favourite. 

5. Belt

For the fashionable man who has everything, a belt will always be a treasured gift. Finding a timeless, stylish, durable belt is an art form in itself. Luckily, this Farmlands Belt from Rodd & Gunn ticks all the boxes. Crafted in Australia from thick bovine leather, this cognac-coloured belt will soon find a prime spot in his daily wardrobe rotation.

6. A Watch

A designer watch is a gift he’ll never forget and never want to take off. Whether he’s passionate about watches, or if his wrist has been looking a little bare, a designer watch will always make him smile. The Tissot PRX Digital 35mm Watch offers an on-trend, retro aesthetic with hints of the brand’s iconic 1978 PRX design.  Features like dual time zones, a chronograph, a timer and an alarm make the PRX an ideal match for those with a passion for Swiss quality and effortlessly cool watches.

7. A Backpack

For the man on the go, there’s nothing better than a backpack upgrade. The perfect backpack needs to tick a few boxes. It must be large enough to fit all the essentials, whether that’s his laptop, gym gear, or just a collection of essentials. It needs to have a padded back for extra comfort, and pockets on the inside and outside, and it needs to look good while doing so. Luckily, Tommy Hilfiger has done the hard work for you in crafting the Essential Backpack.  How wonderful is that?

8. Headphones

From grooving around to his favourite tunes to podcast listening sessions on the go, why not delight him with a set of new headphones? Wireless headphones have come a long way, with today’s headphones allowing for extended battery life, crystal-clear audio and multiple ear tip options to ensure a custom fit. For a pair of headphones that look and sound good, the Studio Buds from Beats By Dr Dre deliver rich sound in a pocketable design. He’ll love the noise-cancelling feature (great for flying) and balanced audio so he can appreciate every note of his favourite artist.

9. Top-Shelf Liquor

Whether he’s an aspiring at-home mixologist, or he loves to entertain, level up his bar cart with a brand-new bottle of liquor. Liquor is a great gift for Valentine’s Day as it’s practical, lasts as long as he needs, and gives you both an excuse to kick back with a drink or two. The highly-coveted, extra-delicious Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin is a winning go-to gift. It’s a tad spicy, but not overwhelming, and offers a citrus burst with every sip thanks to the Four Pillar‘s unique recipe which includes whole oranges. Add a touch of sweetness to your summer social events with our favourite Summer Cocktail Recipes.

10. A Perfume or Cologne

Giving the perfect fragrance to someone can be incredibly tricky, but when done right, you’ll be wrapping up his new, signature scent. For a timeless, rich scent that he’ll love spritzing on for every occasion, Tom Ford is your go-to brand. Opt for Tom Ford’s most popular scent, the Oud Wood Eau De Parfum. Featuring notes of Exotic Rose Wood and Cardamom, it’s a match for every moment and a gift he won’t soon forget.
