Each time February rolls around, we’re bombarded with heart and flower window displays, cringeworthy cards and the nagging pressure of finding our partner that perfect gift to show how much we love them.
When it comes to the men in our lives, many of us are guilty of complaining that they’re too difficult to buy for. In reality, are they hard to buy for, or is it not knowing where to look and what to look for?
Thankfully, we’ve pulled together the ultimate gift-giving guide so the men in your life don't have to smile through another pack of socks this Valentine’s Day.
Movie Night with a Twist
Though we all love a good movie night in, it doesn’t take much effort to stick Netflix on. Go the extra mile and pair his favourite film with a custom-made dinner menu. Below is an example you could use:
Film: The Godfather (1972)
Pre-dinner snack: Garlic bread with olive oil and herbs.
Starter: Caprese Salad with fresh basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes.
Main course: Homemade meatballs in a marinara sauce with fresh pasta.
Dessert: A variety of cannolis.
Drink: A full-bodied red wine.
Bring the various courses out at pivotal points in the movie and if you have time pre-Valentine’s, design a dinner menu for your partner to peruse before the movie starts.
At Home Spa
A trip to the spa, as romantic as it sounds, wracks up in cost when adding on certain treatments and a stay over in the spa hotel. Why not bring the spa home so you can both enjoy the relaxation of a spa experience whilst saving some cash in the process?
It’s now easier than ever to transform your bathroom into a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our custom or pre-made gift boxes make the perfect gift for your hard-working husband or uber-busy boyfriend.
For the overwhelmed and overworked, our Energising Gift Box is the right choice. For your gym-loving partner, our Post-Workout Box works a treat, and for the bath-lover, our Bath Bomb Gift Box is just a couple of clicks away.
If he prefers certain fragrances or products, create a custom box with the bathing gifts you know he’ll love.
We’ll provide the spa, you create the atmosphere - use scented candles, pour a nice glass of wine and get the bath running.
Indulge His Hobby for a Day
Football, golf, hiking, video games - whatever his hobby, passion or new-found interest, spend the day doing his favourite things (even if it’s not your idea of a fun day out).
Doing the things he enjoys together means that you’re showing you support their passions and are happy when they’re happy. No, you don’t need to go to every golf match, but offering to be part of their hobby is a great way to let them know you care.
Take a Trip
We’re pulling out the big guns here, but if you’re savvy, you can find some decent deals for a city break away or even a quick escape somewhere in the UK.
Some of the most romantic locations are right here in Europe: Paris, Venice, Prague, Amsterdam, just to name a few.
Using the likes of Skyscanner means you can find low-cost flights for a romantic getaway.
