7 Perfect Valentine's Day Gifts for Your Guy

7

Gifting something special to your guy on Valentine’s Day can be a little tricky. Guys are usually not so forthcoming or particular about what they want as gifts. But that does not mean they don’t love them. So what to get for them? Well, let us make your task easy by telling you about the gifts your guy secretly desires.
Chocolates, roses or soft toys are a complete no-no; they only prove that you have not put too much thought into what to gift him. If you want to give him the perfect gift, get something which is really thoughtful. Here are few ideas for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your guy.

 

Sports memorabilia

Is your boyfriend a sports freak? We know when it comes to guys you might feel this question should not be asked, but we still want you to think hard and answer. We want you to recollect what sport he actually likes and what teams or players are his favourites.



You can gift him the sports memorabilia of his favorite team. His favorite team’s jersey or an autograph of his favorite player will definitely make him go over the moon. You can easily find sports memorabilia from various auction sites. So, start bidding in advance. If this is out of your reach, then you can gift him match tickets or an annual subscription to his favorite sports magazine. If nothing else works, it is easy to find a jersey or jacket with his favorite player’s number on it.

Perfume

Guys love to be pampered just like girls. This is something we know they would never accept! So, gift him a high-end perfume that he has been lusting after for ages. Try to figure out his taste, the perfume notes he prefers, look for his favorite brand and make your choice accordingly.
If you don’t like his choice of perfume then you gift him something that you think will make him smell good. Ask a buddy of his to tag along, so that he can help you make a good choice.

Gadgets

Guys love gadgets and they secretly desire for them always. You don’t need to break your bank account by gifting your boyfriend a high priced gadget; you can give him something quirky and fun. A water-based alarm clock, a USB drive in the shape of his favourite super hero or a new set of stylish noise-cancelling headphones will definitely make him happy. You can also get some colourful Bluetooth speakers, to add a colourful spark to his room.

Fun things

Try for things that are a little different and fun. Colourful shot glasses with crazy captions, stylish bottle openers and even stoppers, a Kamasutra card set, a Swiss knife, darts game or a poker chip set are some of the fun things which will make your guy’s face light up with delight. Well, such a gift would also show your man, what a “cool” girlfriend you are!

Chocolates

By chocolates we don’t mean those gifts packs that are available in supermarkets. Your chocolates need to be a little hatke. After all, they are for the most hatke person in your life! Premium dark chocolates stuffed with paan, chilly or saunf can really tingle his taste buds. If your guy is not too adventurous with his food, you can gift the traditional chocolates with praline and nuts filling.

Dig into his likes

This one depends on how well you really know your man. Think about what he likes, it can be something completely nerdy or totally luxurious. If comics are all that your man talks about, get hold of a vintage comic to surprise him this V-day. If he is obsessed with a music band or a movie character (does Rocky or Family Guy ring a bell?), gift him a graffiti tee with his favourite picture or a quote. And, if your sweetheart is into music, gift him a guitar or a set of drums or limited edition vinyl records that he has been saving up for.
If your man is obsessed with his work, this is a perfect opportunity for you to get him a luxurious pen, which would remind him of you even when he is at work. High-end pens like Mont Blanc and Pierre Cardin can make any guy swoon. And, fountain pens are really fashionable and are symbolic of good taste and sophistication.

Homemade goodies

If you really cannot afford to gift your guy something expensive, then whip up something for him at home. Show him that you can be a domestic goddess by making some chocolate chip cookies. Put them in a tin and write a cute note for him. You can also create personalized gift cards for him with ‘gifts’ such as giving him the TV remote for an hour, breakfast in bed, not making annoying noises when his favorite match is on, giving him a kiss whenever he demands and so on. He can redeem these gift cards whenever he likes and you can surprise him all through the year.

5 Unusual Valentine's Day Celebration Ideas

0

February 14^th, Valentine’s Day is considered to be the day of love. It is that day when cupid strikes, a day full of flowers and chocolates, a day of gifts and most importantly- lots and lots of love. The most usual way that couples celebrate this day of love is by gifting each other teddy bears, flowers and chocolates, going on romantic dates, candle light dinners etc. But sometimes thinking out of the box and doing something entirely different and exciting can be a good change. So, here are five rather unusual Valentine Day’s celebration ideas. 

1. Visit unusual places:

Unlike other couples who do the same old things on Valentine’s Day, be different and go visit the most unlikely places a couple would visit on this day. For example, take a guided tour of your own city and visit all the major tourist spots. You can also click lots of pictures of yourselves and make an album.

2. Create a restaurant at home :

Another unusual but awesome idea is to surprise your partner by creating a restaurant like ambiance at home. You could set up a table for two on your terrace or in your garden and decorate the surroundings with lights or flowers and some awesome music to go with it. This would give the evening a very romantic as well as personal touch.

3. Organize a party for your single friends:

Usually on Valentine’s Day, single people organise anti-Valentine’s Day parties and celebrate being single. You could go in the other direction and instead organise a party for all your single friends and organise games that would make people meet and if lucky, probably fall in love too. You could even organise group dates with all your friends on this day.

4. Personal touch to your Valentine’s Day gift:

Instead of buying a gift from the gift shop or just giving your partner flowers and chocolates, do something unusual and give your love a gift with a personal touch. For that you could make an entire home cooked meal for your partner, the menu being his or her favourite foods. You could make a collage of all your best pictures together and write a love message on the frame. You could also send a love message for your partner on the radio.

5. Give love not to one but to all- Volunteer:

And last but not the least, instead of spending the entire day with your partner only hanging out and spending money, go and volunteer together and make others happy. You along with your partner could go and spend time at an old age home, an orphanage or an animal shelter. You could also donate clothes, toys and money at orphanages or take food and treats for the animals at the shelter. This would not only make you feel wonderful, but will also bring joy and happiness to those who are less fortunate.
