Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Him

Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day just around the corner and if you’re struggling with ideas on what to get your significant other, fear not, we’ve got you covered!

If you haven’t heard of Garry Chapman’s five love languages, then you may not know that according to the website, there are five ways in which your partner prefers to give and receive love, and knowing which ones speak their language can really help you give the right gift this V’Day. 

Here are the five love languages and some gift ideas for each one.

QUALITY TIME - Undivided attention

For a true gift that keeps on giving, write down a list of date activities and fill a jar with them. Each week, you can both take it in turns to pull one out and enjoy the activity. From romantic picnics to sunset walks, it’s the perfect gift for a partner who prefers spending quality time with you over anything else.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION - Express yourself 

For a partner who loves to be complimented and assured, why not write down exactly how you feel about them – it could be in the form of a letter, a series of post-it-notes, a booklet, a calendar or even a bunch of letters to open on specific days. A partner who prefers words of affirmation will appreciate your sincere effort to tell them exactly why you love them.

ACTS OF SERVICE - Projects 

Sometimes, a simple act of service can be the most powerful love message. Whether it’s doing the dishes, cooking an amazing breakfast or conquering a project around the house, if your partner loves acts of service, spend some time ticking off some of the household chores or projects they’ll appreciate most.

PHYSICAL TOUCH - Pamper 

If your partner craves affection and physical touch, why not play masseuse for the day and organise a pamper session. Think rose petals, a massage and relaxation music.
