Men's Valentine's Day gift guide!

Thursday 9 February 2017


Ok so first I have a confession, I originally  started this post as a Christmas gift guide a few months back and never got round to finishing it (story of my life), but instead of leaving it in the blog post graveyard I decided to renovate it into a men's Valentines Day gift guide... because god knows they can be fussy.

Men's Valentine's Day gift guide

This ones pretty text book, I mean pj's can be a tricky thing when buying for men but a dressing gown? Easy as pie mate, they can't get enough of them...I think. The hard part about this gift is choosing the colour, pattern or fabric but to keep things simple I've just chose a black fully one from Asda which is £14!
You can find it HERE

Another really simple one I think is slippers, my boyfriend lives in his and tries to wear them anywhere he can! It's also a great gift as normally they come in small, medium or large so it's easier to guesstimate the sizing! You can find them absolutely anywhere for any price, but the pair I found are from UGG, and although being £70, I can promise you these will be the comfiest slippers he will ever slip his piggies into, my lord they are an absolute DREAM!
You can find them HERE (AL) or on the UGG website.

I always prefer buying practical presents  over jokey ones, I just think if I'm spending my money then I would rather it be used than just be a 5 minute laugh ( Major Kelly killjoy I know), hence why I think a nice 'going out' shirt is a great choice, this again can work for any budget and is so versatile that its a safe bet for anyone!   I would personally go for a nice Fred Perry just because that's my boyfriends personal preference but I've also found an example from river island for those with a smaller budget!
The FredPerry shirt can be found  HERE  for £65 (AL) and the River Island shirt can be found HERE  for £20.

Who doesn't love sweets? I honestly think this is such a great present because you can completely personalist it around the person you're buying for and make its as big or small as you like, Poundland is a great place to buy supplies from and if you need design inspo then give 'sweets hamper' a search on Pinterest and bobs your uncle... (please say other people use that saying). If you don't have time to create your own then not to worry there are plenty of sites that will sell them pre made, the Swizzles site is one that's great and has so many options such as the 'retro sweet hamper' for £11.99!
You can find it HERE
 Thorntons also do a great range of hampers if your date prefers chocolate over sweets so defiantly check them out HERE as well!

I absolutely ADORE hand made presents or presents that have been personalised by somebody, I feel like to most people sadly printed out photos are such a forgotten thing of the past and they now just stay on a mobile phone until eventually deleted, but why?! There is absolutely nothing better than looking through an old photo album with a loved one and reliving the memories, I make a  habit of once a month printing out my favourite pictures and inserting them to my albums which I treasure so close to my heart and the app I use to do this is 'LALALAB'. Its a free app and is so simple to use which Is why I love it so much, you can also get £5 credited to you account to spend on absolutely anything if you use my referral code which is PGQUPKI9 ...this isn't a sponsored post, but I mean come on, free printed photo's has to be raved about!
You can either visit the website HERE or download the app HERE for IPhone and HERE  for GooglePlay.


I absolutely hope this post helped you chose what to get yo boyThang for Valentines day or at least inspired you, also let me know in the comments bellow if you have a great idea that I haven't mentioned!

  1. I ADORE bathrobes, they seem so homey! Unfortunately my partner doesn't want to ever own a bathrobe since apparently it leads to lazing around more in the morning and we both have a problem with this already... *Eye Roll* haha. I have a pink fuzzy one similar to the one shown above!

  7. Every year for the past 3 valentines I have made my boyfriend a different kind of cookie cake all in the shape of a heart. The sad thing is I suck at baking and every year it just gets worse and worse haha but he appreciates the effort :)
