Whether it’s for your boyfriend or hubby, scroll on to discover our top Valentine's gift ideas for him. Spoiler: They’re all really good (if we do say so ourselves). 

Best Valentine's gifts for boyfriends

OK, we might be biased, but we do think our small brand marketplace is filled with the best gifts for boyfriends. Think thoughtful presents that might even bring a tear to his eye, funny, novelty ideas to make him smile and other ideas he definitely won’t expect. That’s what we call the magic of shopping small. 

First Valentine's gifts for boyfriends

For your first Valentine’s together, it’s a good idea to go for something meaningful without going totally overboard. Think a small token gift or experience you can enjoy together. You don’t want to scare him off if you’ve only been dating for a hot minute. 

If his Sunday roast is legendary, you could treat him to an at-home recipe kit for your next date. And, you’ll get a lovely homemade meal made just for you which is an added bonus. If you want to give him a break from cooking, have a browse of our epic Valentine’s food and drink gifts. Talking of gifts that are really just treats for you, how about an experience? From a vintage cinema night to fondue and wine and even supercar racing, we’ve got unforgettable date ideas all across the UK. And, the best partner of the year award goes to… 

Cool Valentine's gifts for boyfriends

If you want to impress him with how cool and trendy you are, we’ve got you covered with the most fun ideas. Btw, for our latest inspiration, check out our top new picks. Now, instead of reaching for something that has a love heart on it, this is a great opportunity to think outside the box. Maybe it’s picking something that’s a nod to his favourite hobby? Or his favourite TV show? Or even printing your face on a t-shirt? 

A trend we’ve seen get even bigger this year is a return to analogue and a more vintage feel. To channel this for Valentine’s, you could take some of your favourite memories together and turn it into a retro photobooth print. Very cool. 

If he’s a big foodie, look no further than our Food Hall for the latest trend inspiration. Think kimchi making kits, a Bloody Mary gift box, a Dubai-style pistachio bar, fiery chilli sauce and so much more. Anyone else suddenly feeling really hungry? Brb, we’re just going to go get a snack.

Cute and romantic Valentine's gifts for boyfriends

If there was a time to fully embrace your romantic side, it’s got to be Valentine’s. If you want a matchy-matchy moment, how about matching personalised beanies or even couple sweatshirts? Matching PJs are also a great idea, too. 

If your budget is on the smaller side, a little keepsake can be a really heartfelt way to show him you care. From a little lobster charm to notes telling him all the reasons you love him, these can be just as impactful, if not more than a big gift. It’s the thought that counts, eh? 

Unique Valentine's gifts for boyfriends

Instead of a gift that feels like an afterthought, why not get him something that’s completely unique to him? From personalised accessories, to photo prints and custom jewellery, there are lots of ways to make him feel one in a million. 
You could personalise a necklace with the day you met. Or you could even get matching couple keyrings with both your initials. Explore our edit of personalised gifts for him for more inspiration.

Best Valentine's gifts for husbands

Want to show your hubby just how incredible he is? Our gifting experts are here to help with their top picks from our small brand marketplace. Think romantic nods to your big day, cheesy presents and more heartfelt gifts for husbands. 

First Valentine's gifts for husbands

Your first Valentine’s together as a married couple is a real milestone, so you’ll want a gift that rises to the occasion. It’s, of course, a perfect opportunity to pay tribute to your wedding, whether it’s an illustrated artwork of your big day or framing your wedding vows. You could also look back on some of your favourite memories together with a pop-out photo album that makes for the sweetest keepsake. 

Another way to approach it is by thinking of all the exciting things you want to do together in your future. You could get an experience to enjoy later in the year, start your own bucket list or treat them to a year of date ideas. You old romantic, you. 

Funny Valentine's gifts for husbands

If he’s the toast to your marmite or the gravy to your mash, we’ve got funny gifts that are bound to make him chuckle. Don’t worry there’s nothing soppy to see here, folks. If he’s got amazing taste and his favourite show is The Traitors, he'll love this letter with your pledge to always stay faithful. 

He can never have enough pairs of socks, especially if they’ve got your face on them. And, we know he won’t say no to a cheesy mug from his fave person. If puns are his love language, you’ll find lots of them here, from a ‘I love every pizza you’ pizza cutter to a ‘I flipping love you’ spatula. We’ll raise you one more, with a ‘pie love you’ pork pie. Ok we’ll stop now… 

Romantic Valentine's gifts for husbands

If you want to make his heart melt, why not throw back to your favourite memories together. Maybe it’s getting a constellation print made of the night you met? Or giving him a token that reminds him you ‘love him to the moon and back’. If he’s green-fingered, how about a ‘tree of love’ he can plant in the garden? 

Another idea could be couple accessories for your home, whether it’s matching towels, Mr & Mrs mugs (there’s options for same-sex couples, too!) or personalised luggage tags. After all, you didn’t spend all that money on a wedding for nothing. 

Unique and personalised Valentine's gifts for husbands

If you’re looking for something truly thoughtful and personal, then you are definitely in the right place. Our small brands are experts at crafting unique and bespoke gifts, whether you want a piece of artwork to hang in your home or jewellery that will always remind him how loved he is.

One of our most popular personalised gifts of all time? This stylish leather bracelet from our small brand Partner, Lisa Angel, who have been part of our marketplace since 2008. It’s perfect for Valentine’s as it can be engraved with a special message or your wedding date. Aww. 

If you’ve got some blank walls to fill, how about a piece of personalised artwork? Think a print with your initials and wedding date, co-ordinates of your wedding location or even a photo block made from LEGO® bricks.
