Hello lovebirds, it's that time of the year again when romancing your special someone and showing that you love them takes centre stage because it's the season of love aka Valentine's month. Subtlety and keeping it on a low basically don't suit the memo and grand gestures (read: gifts, date nights) become a thing of common. And if you've been stuck on what to get him because buying your man a gift is never an easy task, then don't worry because we come bearing recommendations. So, here are fifteen valentine's gift ideas for him based on your man's likings and across budgets. 

Here's A List Of Valentine's Gift Ideas For Him

Under INR 1,000

For The Spirited Ones (Pun Intended)

Personalized Engraved Hip Flask

Personalized Engraved Hip Flask

599

If your partner is a connoisseur of flasks or just someone who's fond of carrying their drink with them, then don't think twice and get them this sophisticated-looking black flask that can be personalised with their name. You can opt for buying just the flask itself (at INR 599) or get the gift set that comes with four shot glasses and a funnel (because we love convenience), and would make for a great addition to their collection.

Something Personalised

Personalized Wooden Coasters with Coaster Holder for Couples

If you are on a budget and are looking for something cutesy to buy under thousand bucks then get them something personalised that can also be used. While personalised photo frames and key chains are great, we prefer these customised coasters that can be made to your design specifications because they are functional and can actually be used on a daily. 

For The Sporty Yet Style Junkie

Urban Monkey Everyday Active Cap

Urban Monkey Everyday Active Cap

999

Men and caps are a separate love story altogether and one we don't mind adding fuel to at the moment because baseball caps are the season's it trend. So, get your guy a new cap (that you can later steal from him) from Urban Monkey's active range which is great for everyday wear and during workouts since it is lightweight and the material efficiently draws sweat away from your skin during intense workouts or outdoor activities. Also, a plain black cap can never go wrong because it matches well with all basics.

Under INR 2,000

For The Watch Geek

Casio Stainless Steel Men Vintage Digital Grey Dial Watch

Casio Stainless Steel Men Vintage Digital Grey Dial Watch

1695

Casio's vintage pieces are a classic. And if your partner is a watch geek or simply someone who's really into collecting nice timepieces then it's only fair that you gift them something to expand their collection with. The vintage range from Casio is extremely popular among watch enthusiasts since it features a timeless design (similar to the first digital watch launched by the brand in 1974) doubled with durability, high functionality and affordability, making them highly desirable — all the more reason to surprise your partner with it.

For The Self-Care Enthusiasts (Or Newbies)

Kama Ayurveda Daily Skincare Ritual Gift Box

We are happy to report that the days of  3-in-1 shower gel are coming to an end with men too opting for proper skin care routines. So, what could be better than giving them a skincare gift set containing all of the essentials for daily use? Also an excellent choice if they are new to the world of skincare and require assistance navigating the tsunami of products available. Our pick's this one from Kama Ayurveda which comes with a cleanser, rose water toner, moisturiser and a face scrub too so anyone's skincare routine is sorted from the AM to PM.

For New iPhone Users

Apple EarPods (USB - C)

Apple EarPods (USB - C)

2000

A super feasible Valentine's Day gift idea for him is to get him Apple EarPods. Since not so long ago, Apple switched to USB C for cables, it will be a super useful yet thoughtful gift for him if he's switched to the newer iPhone recently or hasn't been hit with the impulse to buy new earphones just yet.


Under INR 3,000

For The Streetwear Connsieur

Love And Instincts Oversized T-Shirt

Love And Instincts Oversized T-Shirt

2800

We found this really cool and V-Day appropriate tee if you want to be a little corny for his Valentine's Day present for him. Instinct First's graphic T-shirts are our favourite from Crep Dog Crew's lot because of the eclectic design, quality fabric and nonchalant vibe with the oversized silhouette— something we are sure your partner would like if he's into streetwear.

Something Men Keep Losing

Ralph Lauren Polo Bear Crew Socks

Ralph Lauren Polo Bear Crew Socks

2100

Confused? Don't be! The simple answer is socks! Trust us when we say this, men lose socks (faster than they lose feelings) on a daily and are always buying new ones so why not gift it to them! We found these bougie ones from Ralph Lauren with their Polo Bear on it, that should only be worn on date nights or special occasions (strictly, but just saying) because they are quite expensive and deserve to be worn responsibly unlike everyday socks.

For The (Literal) Gamers

PlayStation Plus Deluxe 3 Months

PlayStation Plus Deluxe 3 Months

2299

All those 'gift your boyfriend a PS5' memes on the internet sparked this helpful Valentine's gift idea for him. No, a PS5 is far too expensive to gift if you are not at that stage of the relationship so instead, buy them the quarterly PlayStation Plus Deluxe subscription if they already own a PS4 or PS5 and save them from cribbing over how they don't have enough cool games to play for a few months.

Under INR 5,000

When In Doubt: Get The Perfumes Out

Davidoff Cool Water Reborn Eau de Parfum Intense

Davidoff Cool Water Reborn Eau de Parfum Intense

Honestly, perfumes are that universal gift no one minds receiving as long as the fragrance is nice. For men, we would suggest sticking to aquatic, citrusy or musky notes since these please most people's noses. If you are in the initial stages of the relationship and are confused about your partner's interests and don't want to take a chance (especially when Valentine's Day is concerned), simply go the perfume route. If you don't mind spending the buck, the Davidoff Cool Water Reborn Eau de Parfum Intense is sensual woody scent. It's a highly nuanced fragrance that's warm and spicy, with a hint of depth that makes it a hit among all.

For The Organisation Fanatics

Daily Objects Urbane Tech Folio

We found this really cool organiser from Daily Objects that we feel would make the perfect gift for anyone who likes keeping their stuff orgnanised. This folio-styled organiser comes with a pocket for your laptop, tablet, magazines, wires, adapters, notepads and basically anything you have to carry to the office. It provides a dedicated space for everything you need to set up a flawless workspace or wind it up and be on the go while also looking sleek. 

For The Fashion Aficionado

Adidas Basketball Cargo Sweat Pants

Adidas Basketball Cargo Sweat Pants

4999

A suitable Valentine's gifts for him if he's really into fashion is this pair of basketball cargos from Adidas. They are stylish, comfortable and great mix of streetwear coupled with style. The classic regular fit has a sporty yet tailored look, perfect for wearing on casual outings if not the gym. Also, because they are from Adidas, they will last for years and worth the price.

Under INR 10,000

For Those With A Flair For Music

The Dark Side Of The Moon

The Dark Side Of The Moon

6999

If your Valentine enjoys music, and especially if you share their taste in music, try getting them a vinyl record of their favourite album; we are confident they will be impressed. Even if they don't have a vinyl player, there's something nostalgic (and romantic) about a vinyl record, and they also make great memorabilia. You can find them on Amazon, but if not, check out the artist's website or merch dealers. 

For The Sneakerhead

New Balance Unisex 574 Reflection Sneakers

Comfortable, stylish and a class apart — there's no soul on Earth that won't be happy receiving a pair of New Balance shoes. If your partner's into playing sports (or working out) or simply likes collecting cool kicks, this gift is a no-brainer for Valentine's. Do make sure that you know their correct foot size to avoid last minute bloopers. We like these one's in particular since they are in a neutral colour and would match with most outfits, whether it's a casual stroll in the city or a high-intensity workout at the gym. Also, they offer unparalleled comfort and support for all-day wear.

And if both of you have been in need of a quick vacation, fly them away and head to this beautiful and luxurious eco-conscious property, Tipai by Wildlife Luxuries. The property is offering couples a two-night escape in the heart of Tipeshwar Forest, Maharashtra for the Valentine's weekend, complete with private bio-pool villas, wildlife safaris, and gourmet dining in a serene, eco-conscious setting.
