Valentine’s Day gift ideas for men

Valentine’s Day gift ideas for him

It’s a leap year ladies so you know what that means?!? This Valentine’s Day is on you to treat the king of your heart. I’ve reminded you now so that you don’t say you forgot. And no, socks won’t cut it this year. Neither will you pick a fight now in order to get out of buying him a gift on the 14th of February. I’ve put together some Valentine’s Day gift ideas that you’d like.

Gifting is such an intimate experience. Even if your love language isn’t gifts, you can appreciate a well-thought out present from your significant other. Gifts are an expression of love, a way to say I hear you. So, before having an aneurism over what to get your man for Valentine’s, sit down and recall all the things he has ever mentioned wanting over the past 4 years and make a list of them. One of them is bound to be a winner. The best gift is one that demonstrates how much you pay attention to him.

Gaming Console

Which man doesn’t like games? If you buy your man the PlayStation 5, he will play it instead of playing you. He will stay home more to play on that game console. He will also come home sooner just in case he comes home late and you decide to give the PS5 a bubble bath. Jokes aside, the PS5 is a great gift to get for your man. If he already has a gaming console, you can buy him a gaming chair or gift vouchers that allow him to procure the games that he likes. Gamers will tell you the plight of living in Zimbabwe and trying to buy games online. You can buy the vouchers here.

Car stuff

If your man has a car, you can buy him new wheels for his wheels. If he doesn’t have a car, then just buy him one. Simple. Buying him tyres is a selfish gift because you’re just investing in your own health and safety as his passenger princess. There are many gift ideas that you can buy him for his car. Who would turn down a full tank of fuel? When all else fails, you can get him a voucher for his vehicle’s next service.

Experiences

If your man is an adrenaline junkie, you can surprise him with an exciting activity like skydiving, zip lining, bungee jumping or the skywalk at Mutarazi Falls. This is a unique way to express your love for his adventurous spirit. You don’t have to partake, you need only facilitate. Let him experience something he has never experienced before. This will make sure your gift is unforgettable and memorable for both of you. Sometimes, the best gift is of new memories.

Boys’ day out

Book the Man Cave at Lotus Wellness Spa for your man and his friends to enjoy an afternoon of men’s business. Stock up the fridge with their usual drinks, buy snacks and set up a braai stand for him and his boys to enjoy an afternoon together. If you can hire a PS5 with multiple controllers that would also be ideal. If not, the Man Cave has a dart board for them to make use of. Because the Man Cave is located within a spa, you can also get your man a voucher for a full body massage and a facial before his meetup with his little friends. This is one of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas because it doesn’t include you, it’s truly selfless.

New headphones

If you are in love with an audiophile, the Sony WH-1000XM4 noise cancelling headphones are your best bet. These headphones are perfect for travel, working from home, or simply enjoying some peace and quiet. A good pair of headphones will set you back quite a bit but you get what you pay for. How much is your man‘s hearing worth it to you?

A romantic weekend getaway

It might seem like a cliche of the usual Valentine’s Day gift ideas, but sometimes the best gift is just a change of scenery. Book yourself and your man into an AirBnB and create a romantic weekend trip for him. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so make all his favourite meals and pamper him from head to toe. Give him facials, breakfast in bed, massages and run him a warm bath with all your favourite products. This getaway should not only reinvigorate him, but also his love for you. Wake up to a beautiful sunrise together, watch movies in the throngs of cuddles and end the day with a romantic dinner for two.

Upgrade his wardrobe

Who doesn’t like new clothes? To pull this off, you need to know your man like the back of your hand. What’s his personal style? What are his sizes? What would he appreciate? Research about the capsule wardrobe and invest in timeless pieces he can wear in multiple ways. Buy high quality clothing that will last. Find unique, bespoke pieces that not many people have. This will make your gift stand out. There are boutiques in Harare that will help you put an outfit together. Engage them and make this Valentine’s Day a memorable one.

No one knows your man better than you do. The most important thing is to choose a gift that shows you put thought and effort into it. Consider his hobbies, interests, and what would make him feel loved and appreciated.
