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.
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 every other special man in your life that are affordable, luxurious and undeniably coveted. From champagne to skincare, these gifts are so good, you might even want to steal them for yourself.

A great Valentine's Day gift strikes the balance between personal and indulgent, which is a very different measure depending on whom you're shopping for. Some guys may be yearning for a high-quality turntable; others may want nothing more than a reliable chef's knife. Some want a trip to the spa and fancy skin care.
You could swap your favorite books or movies, pick out board games that only call for two players, exchange restaurant gift cards for future date nights, or simply set a strict budget like $20 or less.
Receiving sweet, romantic gifts on Valentine's Day is totally romantic, so it's important to keep up the same energy for your boyfriend — because even though your SO is super low maintenance and swears that he doesn't want anything, deep down, you know he's hoping you come through with something big.
It's also an easy way to show your hubby you love him. Hug him, hold his hand, kiss him, and cuddle him on the couch to be more affectionate. He'll feel your love for him—literally. Public displays of affection (PDA) are also important.
Words of affirmation: Write a meaningful note or letter, write a poem for him, send him loving texts throughout the week, send a good morning and goodnight message, tell him how much he means to you, tell him why you love him randomly, compliment him, let him know how you're proud of him.
Valentine's Day is a popular holiday for couples that dates back to the 1300s. Throughout history, this holiday has been celebrated by couples but, more so, the women in the relationships. However, a survey has proven that men enjoy celebrating the holiday and getting showered with gifts too.
Driver's data finds those who are in one to two-year relationships are the most susceptible to high prices. They will be dropping $247 on average, whereas those together for less than a year will be spending $186. Those who've been at each other's sides for over ten years will spend about $189.
