Be Unique When Buying Gifts For Him on Valentine’s Day

Finding the perfect gift for him is one of the trickier things on Valentine's day. You see all the man has to do is buy flowers, chocolates and/or jewelery. Simple (as long as he remembers!)! Of course he can (and should) get more creative but not necessary.

So what should a lady get for a man on Valentine's day? Take it man's perspective. Be unique and make him feel unique. The more unique you are the more memorable that will be for him. Sure you can go and buy him some chocolate or cook him a nice dinner, but will he remember that?

What are some unique gifts that he'll remember?

Race Car Driving

Let him race around the track at speeds above anything he can ever dream of. This will give him a unique thrill on Valentine's day. Suggested Retailers: Virgin Experience Days

Bottle of Whiskey
Buy him his favorite Whiskey for Valentine's day. This is the equivalent of "Man Flowers". Suggested Retailers: The Whisky Exchange

Lingerie For You
Men love seeing their ladies in something sexy. Why not treat him to you in something sexy for Valentine's day. This will work for almost any man out there and is the recommended gift for men according to RedValentine.co.uk! Suggested Retailers: LaSenza or KnickerBox

Those three things above are obviously just suggestions. To be really unique you must think of things that he likes or enjoys. From there ideas should start popping out.

Top Ten Valentine’s Day Gifts For Guys

Here are the top ten Valentine's Ideas for Guys. Any of the these gifts should make your man happy to be with you on Valentine's day. Ladies, Valentine's day is a two way street so be sure to get at least a little something for your man.

1) Spirits

Men like spirits be it Scotch or Rum. You can buy a nice bottle of Scotch or Rum that he wouldn't buy for himself.  If your man likes spirits this is a valentine's gift that he'll be super happy with and tell his friends what a cool wife he has.

Suggested Retailers: The Whisky Exchange, TheDrinkShop, Vin Vino Direct Ltd

2) Chocolates
Yes, men like chocolate.  Simple as that. Assorted chocolates are always a safe bet unless you know that your man likes truffles, caramel or some other chocolate.

Suggested Retailers: Chocolate Trading Company or Cadbury Gifts Direct

3) Lingerie For You
Yes YOU! You see that's a gift for both of you to enjoy.  This works great because you can pick something that you'll enjoy wearing and model it that night.

Suggested Retailers: FigLeaves, La Senza, Knickerbox,

4) Lingerie For Him
Lingerie is probably the wrong word here but some sort of boxers or something that you would like to see him in. This can be a bit of a more risque present so be sure that when he opens it that you're showing him you want to be a bit naughty.

Suggested Retailers: FigLeaves, La Senza, Knickerbox

5) A Cool Experiences

Men, in general, are much more adventurous then ladies.  What better way to show your adventurous side then to buy him a cool experience for Valentine's day. What do we mean by cool experience? How about driving a Oval Race Car?  Flying in a Bulldog Military Plane ?  Or taking a Whisky Tasting Masterclass?

Suggested Experience Retailers: Red Letter Days or Buyagift.co.uk

6) Tickets to a Sporting Match (or another sporting event)
Another unique idea that all guys will love is buying tickets to his favorite event or team. He enjoys Tennis how about tickets to Wimbeldon. A footie nut? How about tickets to his favorite team.

Suggested Retailers: DoSomethingDifferent.com, Red Letter Days or Virgin Experience Days

7) Make Something Personal

Be Creative and make something special that he'll enjoy.  If you don't have time to fabricate something yourself then you can simply order something from Getting Personal and have his and your name added to the item. You can make a coffee cup, mouse pad, Champagne Bottles engraved or any other item.

Get Him Pampered

Yes men enjoy getting pampered too.  You can get him a massage, facial or even manicure.  It's not uncommon for men to get a manicure now.  Worried that he won't like the present then buy yourself the same treatment and it can be a couples day together!

Suggested Retailers: SpaFinder or Red Letter Days

9) Shaving Supplies

Although, we may not enjoy shaving all the time we do enjoy having the proper and good quality supplies. Plus, if we know that you enjoy our fragrance after shaving we're much more likely to shave. Therefore, think about getting some shaving supplies or cologne.

Suggested Retailers: CheapSmells.com or Adonis Grooming

10) Man Flowers

The man equivalent to flowers is beer (or wine if that's what he prefers). Get him a case of beer for valentine's day. If you think he's never heard of the term 'Man Flowers' a fun trick is to wrap the beer like a bouquet of flowers. Although, this works much better with Wine as you can make the wrapping look very much like flowers.
