Let’s face it, men can be hard to buy for at the best of times. Christmas has just passed, and you may have already exhausted all your good ideas. Then Valentine’s Day rolls around, and you’ve got to get him something meaningful. At this point, it might feel easier to fight a Balrog than to find another gift.
But don’t give up hope just yet — we’ve got you covered with our ultimate Valentine’s Day gift guide for men, whether he’s the nerdy type, a true outdoorsman, or the one who spends hours tinkering with tech. And it doesn’t matter if it’s for your partner, brother, husband, best friend, or even a cheeky gift for yourself.
Gamer Valentine’s Gifts for Him
Sure, you could get a gamer a game for Valentine’s Day… but chances are they’ve already bought it themselves. Instead, show you care by leveling up their gaming experience…
Adaptive Lighting
Why not treat him to an RGB light setup? LED strip lights, ASUS Aura Ready, or a smart ambient light that syncs with his gameplay can transform his space into an immersive gaming arena.
Gamer Posters
One of the best ways to upgrade his man cave is with a gaming-inspired Displate. From RPG fantasy worlds and board games to all the retro arcade classics you know and love, a high-quality metal poster will show off his passions in style.
Pro Gaming Controller
Or, if he’s more of a console player, a pro gaming controller with customizable buttons and adjustable triggers can elevate his skills, and maybe help him finally reach that next level.
To really commit to the theme, why not plan a gaming date night? Whether you’re teaming up in co-op mode or challenging him to a friendly competition, nothing beats quality time together. Whether you beat him at his favorite game or let him win is down to you…
Lego Set
More of an analog lover? Then let him relive the 8-bit era with a Lego set for his favorite characters. Whether a Piranha Plant from Mario or the iconic Death Star.
Fitness Valentine’s Gifts for Him
Magnetic Water Bottle
For any gym-goer, you know that annoying feeling of having to put your stuff on a dirty floor. Give the gift of hygiene this Valentine’s Day with a magnetic water bottle like the Ringo Pro, which can also hold their phone — making it easier to track reps or film that PB.
Fresh Set of Gym Wear
Sweat smells not coming out in the wash? It might be time for a new set of gym gear. Brands like Gym Shark are a reliable go-to, while newer labels like AYBL bring clean designs and sleek styling — so they’ll still look good, even when things get sweaty.
Fitness Tech
Does his Fitbit look a little worn out? It might be time for an upgrade. The latest wearable tech is more discreet than ever — the Amazfit Helio Strap Fitness Tracker barely looks like a fitness tracker, let alone a piece of tech at all.
Movie Buff Valentine’s Gifts for Him
For the guy that loves nothing more than a bucket of popcorn, top-notch surround sound, and losing hours to a movie binge, you’ve got to go for a movie-themed Valentine’s gift.
Home Movie Projector
Help him elevate his viewing experience with a home projector, designed to turn any wall into a cinema screen. Paired with a cozy blanket and some snacks, it’s the perfect setup for an at-home movie marathon – and you get to benefit too!
Movie Posters
Alternatively, a Displate metal poster featuring his favorite film is a stylish and unique way to bring a touch of Hollywood to his space. Whether he’s into classic noir, sci-fi blockbusters, or cult indie fan faves, there’s a Displate design that will fit right into his at-home movie theater.
Movie Memorabillia
Does he watch the same movie every weekend? For any mega fan, having a piece of official merch and memorabilia will set his heart aflutter. From signed photos to real set items, depending on your budget, you can give him something he’ll truly treasure.
Popcorn Maker
Let’s be real, you can’t watch a movie without a bowl of popcorn. But we’re not into the standard microwave approach, we feel the whole experience needs to lean into that cinematic joy. So, get him a retro popcorn maker that he’ll be able to enjoy as he sets up for his next movie marathon.
Tech Valentine’s Gifts for Him
Is he the kind of guy who’s always one step ahead of the latest tech trends? Constantly upgrading his gadgets? Or watching the latest release information from the big tech brands? If so, his ideal Valentine’s gift should be something innovative, sleek, and smart.
Wireless Charging Hub
For a practical but stylish option, consider upgrading his setup with a wireless charging hub to make sure he’s never caught out by his phone, smartwatch, or earbuds having no battery.
Smart Home Tech
Plug in and bring your home into the 21st century. A good smart home system will help him control everything from an app or voice command, enabling him to set the exact mood he wants in any room around the house.
Modern Retro Vinyl Record Player
If he’s a music lover and partial to a good sound system, let him bring some retro style to his passion with a vinyl record player that has sleek design and excellent vibes.
Valentine’s Gifts for the Outdoors Man
If his heart belongs in the great outdoors, there are plenty of gifts that will help to quell his thirst for adventure. From survival gear to camping equipment or a fire-starting kit, there are tons of practical gifts the modern explorer is sure to appreciate.
Hiking Boots Bag
He might be a man of the great outdoors but that doesn’t mean he has to bring it indoors. Get him a hiking boot bag that allows him to keep his footwear neatly stored and mud off the rug!
Camp Fire Blow Pipe
Forget modern lighter fluid, the only true way to spark up a flame for your camp fire is with spark rocks and a blow pipe to stoke the embers into a full fire for your wilderness cooking.
World Map
For a gift that keeps the adventure going, why not gift him a scratch-off world map that lets him track every place he’s explored – or allows him to plot all of his bucket list destinations, too. You could continue the theme with a metal poster of a vintage-style map, an iconic landscape, or even perhaps a reminder of his favorite destination so far. Perfect for the guy who collects memories, not things.
‘Manly’ Valentine’s Gifts for Him
If he’s not the sentimental type and doesn’t like anything too ‘soft’, lean into his rugged side with gifts that let him be the man he is.
Beef Jerky Flower Bouquet
Wouldn’t even look a flower in the eye? Change that with this Beef Jerky Flower Bouquet, that’ll have him blushing with love. Just don’t expect him to share.
Whiskey Decanter and Glasses Set
Nothing sets a man apart from his peers like being able to show off his… whiskey set. Go for crystal if your budget will stretch and even get his name engraved so everyone knows it’s his.
Wood Carver
Sometimes a man just needs to be alone in the wilderness to chop some wood to set him right again. Help him do it properly with a wood carving set so he can whittle away the time making something to bring home.
Personalized Valentine’s Gifts for Him
Nothing says you care more than getting something that’s exclusively his. Here are some ideas for personalized gifts that he’s sure to love.
Wooden Chopping Board
Can he really call himself a grill master if he doesn’t have a personalized chopping board to prep all the food with? We think not.
Game Day Snack Set
The season has started and he needs to ensure he can stay wedged into the sofa for hours without moving. Bring the A-Game with a set of personalized Game Day Bamboo Bowls so he can stay fueled up to cheer for his team.
Personalized Sweet Treats
Gifting doesn’t need to break the bank, it can be something as sweet and simple as personalizing a set of chocolate bars by Tony’s Chocoloney or candy bags.
For the Man Who Has Everything
Is he someone who always buys anything he wants for himself leaving you clueless when you need to get him a gift? Then here are some ideas on things he never knew he needed.
Mini Massage Cushion
Self care is important for everyone, and often overlooked when it comes to shopping for themselves. Help him unwind at home with a mini massage cushion he can use while gaming, watching his favorite movie, or just taking a moment to practice mindfulness.
Card Games for Adults
Perhaps he was too shy to pick it up himself, but card games for adults are a fun and cheeky way to play together. He may have come across Cards Against Humanity, but you can take it up a notch with ones like UNO Dare Adults Only Card Game.
Custom Displate
Sure photo albums are good and all, but nothing immortalizes like a moment captured in metal. Whether it’s a screenshot of his top score on a game, a picture of the two of you, or even turning him into his own meme, a custom Displate lets those memories shine. And with our Style Filters, you can transform any photo into a stunning comic, anime, retro poster, or indie game-inspired piece — making it a Valentine’s gift that’s personal, playful, and unforgettable.
For Foodie Man
Hot Ones Sauce Set
Is he a fan of the hit online chat show Hot Ones? Does he constantly say he could handle the heat? Then let him put his words where his mouth is with a Hot Ones Sauce set and watch him sweat. Loser does the dishes.
Hot Honey (Goes on Everything!)
If he likes the heat but with a sweeter aftertaste then let him add some jazz to every dish with a hot honey set. The hottest (sweetest? Coolest? whatever) food trend from the last year, hot honey is the go-to for any foodie.
Coffee Coffee Coffee
Can’t start his day without a cup of joe? Or perhaps he’s the particular type when it comes to the types of coffee he has, talking to anyone who will listen about the aromatic notes of caramel, toasted vanilla and chocolate as he sips. Fuel his passion and energy with a coffee subscription or even elevate his experience at home with a new espresso machine if your budget will stretch.
Over to You!
Go beyond the cliché gifts this year and surprise him with something he’ll actually love — and something that will show him how loved he is for way longer than just one day. And if you’re still unsure, browse our collection of metal posters to find a design that’s sure to make his heart skip a beat.
