Valentine's Day Best Gifts for Men 2012

Valentine's Day Gifts for the Man in Your Life

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and you have no idea what on earth to buy the man in your life. Does he like Aftershave? Maybe a new Tie? It really all depends on how long you have been together. If you have been married for years, you tend to know the type of thing that he likes and wants. Also, after being married for such a long time, maybe he would prefer something more practical. But of course if you are new to the throws of love and passion, you don't want to make a big mistake by getting him the wrong thing. Staying on safe ground is probably the best option. A bottle of Champagne, chocolates or just yourself wrapped in red ribbon and little else! There's a thought! But seriously, what do you think he would like. I believe that there are so many different objects that a modern man would like. It doesn't have to be particularly romantic. It could just be the Ah factor that will please him. I have given you a selection that I hope you will like. Trying to be more open to suggestions, I have added a few things that might surprise you. I hope you like them.

A most Romantic Gift

What can be more romantic on Valentine's Day than giving your loved one a Star in a box. Can you imagine his face when he realises that he owns his own Star? Every man is a child at heart, so the look on his face when he realises that after all these years of Star gazing as a little boy, he can now honestly say that he owns part of the Cosmos! I think this will really please him. Go on make his day!

This Gift isn't just something to make him smile. It is a genuine Star which must be registered with the Star Registry! There are so many Stars that do not have official names. That is why, when you have chosen the name of your Star, you register it and it will be called that name for ever! Imagine that! The pack comes with:

A Welcome Letter

And Your Gift Explained

Also Important Gift Registration Instructions

And of course unique information about your star

A guide on how to locate your star is also enclosed

.A Stars & Astronomy booklet

A Presentation Certificate

And last but not least a Personalisation Pen

So go ahead and give your love a Star for Valentine's Day!

Have a Sensual Massage Night In! Followed by The Kama Sutra DVD

Valentine's Day is a special day for lovers. We want to show our man that we love him. What better way to express this than by having an amazing sensual massage. In the intimacy of your room, you can light a few candles, get a glass of Champagne and set the scene for a lovely romantic massage. Then afterwards when you are relaxed why not turn on the TV and watch the most romantic and sensual film ever made? You can't get better than this!

All massage oils are suitable for intimate use.

Moisturiser for Men

In this day and age men not only want to smell nice, but they want to look nice too. It is no longer just a woman's prerogative to clean her skin, and moisturise it afterwards. A few years ago a man would have been much to embarrassed to admit to cleaning and toning! Now they have realised that to maintain a wrinkle free skin, they must do what women have done for generations. Slap on the moisturiser! There are so many makes out there these days, the best way to buy a good moisturiser is trial and error. I remember when men were forced to only use one aftershave that not only stung them but could also bring them up in rashes! Thank goodness those times have passed. Now you can buy your boyfriend or husband something that they will really appreciate. A good Moisturiser.

Valentine Gifts for Men

There are so many ideas for you to think about this Valentine's day. Whether your man prefers something sensual to make it a memorable and pleasurable experience, or would he prefer something that he could keep forever? A nice piece of Jewelry or a tie. It is entirely up to you. I hope that you have a great Valentine's day. And make it a day to remember.

Sips, Sonnets and Sodomy

Roses for Him

Did you know that you can buy Roses from Amazon delivered straight to your door? Flowers are not just for the ladies. Many men would appreciate the personal touch. So why not order a nice bunch of gorgeous flowers, and make his day start with a smile!

buying a star is a great idea but I also found another good one - you can adopt a vine in a vineyard which is perfect for wine lovers! The gift also includes a free tour of the vineyard...

I say give the man a pen and paper so they can find a job since now a days the men have become lazy and dependent on woman too much:) I am so sorry to the good ones but I had to get it out there! AND for you few that are really sincere personal sex vouchers on anyday or night just to make you a real happy guy!!:)

Vcize profile image

Vcize 16 months ago

As a man, the best gift you can give us is telling us that we don't have to get a gift for you. That way when we give you one anyway, you'll be so happy that it doesn't matter what it is :)

martycraigs profile image

martycraigs 16 months ago

Hmmm... there are some nice ideas here, but the first one about the stars, I'm not convinced. I can't speak for all men when I say this, but I think that a gift of this sort would fall under the "pointless splurges" category. I mean, you can't really own a star. Yes, you can put a name on it, but come on now... I think this is more a gift women would appreciate. Then again, it's the thought that counts.

Nell Rose profile image

Nell Rose Hub Author 16 months ago

Hi, manhatten, lol you got a good point there! thanks for reading it, cheers nell

Hi, Vcize, ha ha crafty! thanks for stopping by, cheers nell

Hi, marty, I know it is a bit silly but it is supposed to be romantic! ha ha never mind, I'll try harder next time! lol cheers nell

More excellent ideas. My husband is so hard to buy for, I don't by him clothes, cause we don't share the same tasted in that area. Only underwear (I'm diggin' the Family Guy)and pj's, but the ones you've shared look like something I can spring on him. Thanks Nell Rose, voted up, marked useful and bookmarked.

ashatt profile image

ashatt 15 months ago

I think the best gift for a guy is something straight from the heart, if you are good at making something, whether it's food, something sweet, or both, I think guys love it when it's something unique, only they have what you made them. And as we all know the saying, the way to a man's heart is through their stomach.

kennyrogers2 15 months ago

I think the star is an awesome idea. I tell my wife, Nelma of 4 years that the most important thing to me is a giant feast. Pot Roast, Steak, Fish, Scrimp, Pizza, MeatBalls. Feed a man and make his stomach happpy. Then hug and kiss me. Something from her heart. Material things don't last long. Men will get bored with new toys. Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours.
