With Valentine’s day just around the corner, you might be struggling to find the perfect gift for your boyfriend. He might not be into ties or some cheesy whiskey set, so you might be struggling with ideas and finding something that’s a good fit. For Valentine’s Day, you probably don’t want to pick something too expensive, but at the same time, don’t want something disappointing – so I have compiled this Gift Guide of unique Valentine’s day gifts which are not found on the average list!
Machrie Men’s Eau de Toilette
Scented by sea salt and rockrose, the Machrie Men’s eau de toilette is a cologne that an boyfriend would be sure to enjoy. It’s not super masculine or musky smelling, and brings a natural and welcome scent to your partner This cologne was inspired by miles of beach front around the Isle of Arran, drift wood, sand, open skys, feeling free, a warm day, and it does accompany all of that. Arran Sense of Scotland does a bunch of different scents and quite a few products in each scent, so if this scent becomes a favorite, you can purchase your partner some other bath items that match too!
Overnight Glamping Escape for Two
Having some time between both you and your partner is always something that couples are looking for. Red Letter Days have a bunch of different date night ideas, but I feel their Overnight Glamping Escape for Two is perfect for Valentine’s Day. Not only does this sweep you both off your feet to somewhere free of your normal, day to day life, but it gives you a night all to yourselves. There are a bunch of different glamping sites that you can select from, depending on if you want to go on a little adventure or find somewhere close to home.
Star Wars Stormtrooper Valentine’s Thirst Aid Kit
The Star Wars Stormtrooper Valentine’s Thirst Aid Kit, which can be found on PrezzyBox, is a good mix of limited Valentine’s Day theming, with a more masculine vibe from the Storm Troopers all on it. This massive kit works well instead of a box of chocolates, as you get 5 beers, all with Stormtropper labels, as well as a drinking glass, some coasters, and a beer treat! This box set is officially licensed, and the artwork is absolutely fantastic for fans of Star Wars.
Crossfly Underwear
In my experience, men do not often purchase clothing for themselves and instead will wear the same, ratty items until they physically are unable too. With that in mind, grabbing a new pair of boxers might be a great idea for a gift. Dann has actually had a few pairs of the Crossfly Collection of men’s boxers, and have described them as “posh feeling”, “the best”, “can you get me more of these”, etc. They are really soft and luxurious, and make for a great gift! The X-Fly patient design, which I have only ever seen on these pants, allows the wearer to swipe their thumb down, so that they can easily use the toilet when in a rush!
Chilli Spice Tin
If you are the one to often cook dinner, it might be fun to spice up your Valentine’s day, literally, with something like the Chilli Spice Tin. This tin comes with seven different spices, as well as guides on what to cook with them, and is wrapped in silk to look really impressive. The Chilli Spice Tin can become a sort of activity – you both can cook together or you can get your partner to cook for you, experimenting with the included recipe guide, which is easy to follow and execute. It’s a great gift, especially as it can secretly be one for you as well, since you will likely get to eat some of the things made with it!
Christoffer Troika Watch
Jewelry is often listed as something to get your for your girlfriend, but men also have a wide selection of accessories that can really help them look the best and are just fun to have! TrendHim has a bunch of amazing accessories from leather bracelets to wear casually to beautiful watches like the Christoffer Troika Watch. This watch is great for dressing up or making a look go from casual to business casual – though it is a more expensive purchase – if you’ve got a smaller budget and are leaning towards accessories, it well worth checking out their other items too!
Barry’s Cactus Club Plant Subscription
If you are thinking of plants, a pretty traditional gift for Valentine’s Day, but don’t feel your boyfriend is a flowers person, you could consider getting them a cactus! Berry’s Cactus Club is a plant subscription that will send cactus’ to their door – along with a card on how to care for the plant, information on each plant, and other little goodies. This subscription is especially great if their house could use some little decorations as cactus plants look great and don’t take up much time when it comes to keeping them alive!
Haribo Heart Throbs Gift Boxes
If you have a partner who isn’t the biggest fan of chocolate, or you are just looking for something a bit more unique, Haribo has you covered with their Heart Throbs Gift Boxes, which contain a whole pack of heart gummies! These gummies are just like the hearts in the Haribo mix, which have a white bottom and a nice chew to them. The box itself makes for a really cute gift box, and it brings a nice change to chocolate.
Volcanic Potpourri – essential oil diffuser
If you are looking for something quite different, these Volcanic Potpourri essential oil diffusers make for a unique gift! They are full of lava rocks and volcanic rocks, which you can add drops of essential oils to, which will make your room or house smell so much better! There is a variety of different oils from ones that will help you unwind to others that will bring a bright and fresh smell. They also look quite sleek in any setting!
E.T. x Jimmy Lion Sock Pack
Socks are a traditional gift, do not get me wrong, however the Jimmy Lion collection has a variety of different, unique socks that can actually make this gift so much more unique. Their E.T. socks are perfect for lovers of the movie, but they also have a variety of other funky, unique socks that fit with a number of different brands and different styles.
VEX Gift Card
If your loved one has everything, and nothing jumps out as something they would love, you could always go the gift card route! VEX Gift Card is especially useful as this gift card is not for one specific store, but instead, your loved one can pick where it is used. There are over 150 brands for them to choose to spend the gift card on, which takes all of the decision making out of your hands, and can allow them to get something they would actually use!
