I‘m a health and wellness blogger from Ireland. Through personal struggle, I discovered balance and purpose in my life by incorporating meditation, yoga & pilates, journaling, and healthy eating! My path to self-discovery ignited a passion to share what I’ve learned and create a community of like-minded individuals searching for balance in this chaotic world!

Racking your brain trying to find a present for Valentine’s Day?
Look no further! Find the perfect gift you can DIY at home or buy online.

WHY are boys so hard to buy for? They’re “happy with anything“ but you still want to get them the perfect gift with that WOW factor.

I always buy my boyfriend Alex an experience. But since it’s so impossible to plan anything these days I’ve had to switch it up.

Here are some thoughtful gifts your boo may love:

Paint Him By Numbers

This personalized paint by numbers kit is a present that you could enjoy together, maybe with a bottle of wine? Personalize it as a funny picture of him, he’ll be shocked when he sees the end result!

Make a Handmade Card

I think handmade gifts are truly the most thoughtful presents.

Make a handmade card for valentines. You can have yourself a little art day, draw some funny doodles and reminisce on funny personal anecdotes to include.

Alex, the artistically challenged made me a handmade card for our 1 ½ year anniversary while we were apart during the beginning of Covid (yes, we celebrate half-years). It arrived in the post with a bouquet of flowers and I thought it was the sweetest surprise.

Give A Jar with Coupon Favours

Present him with a jar full of favours.

Make coupons for your man that he’ll be excited to use. These could include a foot massage, a home-cooked meal, or a sports day. Whatever he loves doing with you, make a coupon.

Not the best at drawing? Make an e-card with your coupons and email it for a SURPRISE.

I always use my foot rub coupons (even though they ran out a while ago but shhh) and they’re brilliant for some quality time!

“What I Love About You” Pick Me Ups

When I returned to Ireland a month earlier than Alex, I made him a jar with a note for him to read every day while we were apart. Some were funny puns with doodles (funnier because I cannot draw). Most notes began with “I love your…blah blah blah”.

Remind your boo what you love about him. Every guy likes having his ego stroked.

This is a perfect gift for those who are forced to be apart due to Covid!

Give The Gift Of Lingerie

I don’t mean buy him lingerie, although that may be interesting to see.

Buy yourself some gorgeous lingerie in his favorite color and he will be DELIGHTED when he opens and visualizes you wearing them.

Drones

If you’re looking to spend a pretty penny on your beloved, this may be the perfect gift to buy. I don’t know what it is about them, but most guys have a strange obsession with drones. They’re like flying toy cars that they can control in the air.

Vinyl Record Player

If your man looooves music, this could be perfect for him. Plus, you can gift him records for future presents as he continues to collect them. This specific record player also has Bluetooth and can work as a speaker for when you two jam out together. Double-whammy!

Kindle

If your boyfriend is also a big book nerd, gift him a Kindle. They’re brilliant for traveling so he’s not taking up precious suitcase weight with all his books.
