Valentine’s Day gives us a moment to celebrate the relationships we cherish most in our lives, be they platonic or romantic.
For some, it’s a time to indulge in chocolate, watch romantic comedies and read love poems to one another (ok, perhaps that’s for the select few…). For others, it’s a day to gather with friends, tequila in hand, and reminisce on wild antics and plan future girls’ holidays and nights out.
SHOP VALENTINE'S DAY GIFTS FOR HER
Those marking the occasion with a loved one, however, will know how painful it is to search for great presents. Too cringey are the heart-shaped truffles and teddy bears for most of us, which means we’re left scrambling the night before with glue and tissue paper in an attempt to make a ‘thoughtful’ DIY card and ordering a takeaway the night of.
Fortunately, we’ve done the hard work for you this year and rounded up the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts for boyfriends, husbands and the other special men in your life that are affordable, luxurious and undeniably coveted. From a bottle of Haig Club Scotch whisky to an Eastpak backpack, these gifts are so good, you might even want to steal them for yourself.
Here’s our list of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for him in 2023:
