Here are some unique and practical Valentine’s Day gift ideas that will make him feel special without breaking the bank.
Valentine's gift ideas for men
1. Customised leather wallet (₦7,000 – ₦15,000)
A wallet is a classic yet essential accessory for every man. Go the extra mile by getting him a leather wallet engraved with his initials or his pet name (if you have one for him). A well-crafted leather wallet adds a touch of class and durability, making it a functional yet sentimental gift.
2. Personalised keyholder (₦3,000 – ₦8,000)
Men love practical gifts, and a customised keyholder with his name, a special date, or even a heartfelt message can make him smile daily. You can find beautiful wooden, leather, or metal keyholders in the markets or online stores.
3. Perfume oil (₦5,000 – ₦15,000)
If your man loves to smell good, a high-quality perfume is a great choice. Unlike regular perfumes, perfume oils last longer and are often more affordable. You can find luxurious scents without spending a fortune.
4. A box of his favourite snacks (₦5,000 – ₦10,000)
Food is the way to a man’s heart! Put together a snack box filled with his favourite treats like chocolate, chin chin, cookies, biscuits, or even bottles of his favourite drink. You can get a nice decorative box and arrange everything neatly for a more personal touch.
5. Trendy T-shirt or polo shirt (₦7,000 – ₦20,000)
A stylish T-shirt or polo shirt is a wardrobe staple that every man needs. Get one in his favourite colour or a design that reflects his personality. You'll get affordable yet high-quality options that fit within your budget.
6. Stylish bracelet or wristwatch (₦8,000 – ₦20,000)
Men’s accessories are subtle but powerful fashion statements. A sleek leather bracelet or an affordable wristwatch can elevate his style. Look out for minimalist designs that complement his everyday outfits.
7. Movie night (₦5,000 – ₦10,000)
A romantic yet budget-friendly idea is planning a cosy movie night at home. Pick his favourite movies, get popcorn, drinks, and snacks, and create a relaxed atmosphere. You can even write a cute movie night invitation to make it feel special.
8. Personalised mug (₦4,000 – ₦7,000)
A mug with a cute message, an inside joke, or even his photo can be a daily reminder of your love. You can find customisation services at a very affordable rate.
9. Data subscription (₦5,000 – ₦15,000)
If he’s a remote worker or enjoys browsing the internet, a data subscription will be a thoughtful and useful gift, especially with the hike in tariff plans. Load up his phone with data for the month, and he’ll definitely appreciate it.
10. A budget-friendly dinner date (₦10,000 – ₦20,000)
Take him out for a simple yet romantic date at an affordable restaurant. Many spots in different cities in Nigeria offer great meals without exceeding your budget. Sharing a meal together is a great way to bond and celebrate love.
11. Grooming kit (₦10,000 – ₦20,000)
Help him look his best with a grooming set that includes essentials like beard oil, shaving cream, aftershave, and a trimmer brush. This is the perfect gift for a man who loves self-care or wants to maintain a neat appearance.
12. Spotify or Apple Music subscription (₦3,000 – ₦10,000)
If he loves music, surprise him with a monthly subscription to Spotify or Apple Music. This allows him to enjoy his favourite songs ad-free, and you can even create a Valentine’s playlist for you both to enjoy.
You don’t need to break the bank to make your man feel special this Valentine’s Day.
Thoughtfulness matters more than the price tag. Whether it’s a customised item, a fun experience, or a simple yet heartfelt gesture, what truly counts is the love behind the gift.
