Gift ideas for men tend to be different from the gifts you would love as a woman. Keep in mind that men in general tend to prefer more practical and functional gifts, such as tools, electronics, and outdoor gear; and tend to be more focused on technology and gadgets.
However, gifts such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops are too common in India, and we looked for options beyond the predictable ones.

A personalized gift: Do not stress the monetary value. Get your hubby a personalized gift that he will treasure forever. You can get yours/his name or initials or picture engraved in a crystal or a quirky photo frame.

A Romantic getaway: Book a surprise romantic getaway in a hill station, a secluded beach or deep in the jungle – far from the madding crowd. This can be a perfect way to spend some quality time together and create fond memories that will last a lifetime. Suits best if you don’t have small kids at home.

A “special” massage: Give your husband the gift of relaxation a special massage at home or in a spa. You can book a couples spa package in a resort or luxury spa. Done right, this will not go unrewarded 😉

A book for the book-lover in him: Gift your husband a book by his favorite author. This guarantees to show him that you pay keen attention to his interests and that you care. Same goes for a new game if he is much into pc/console games.

How about that new gadget? For the tech enthusiast hubby, it is easy to surprise him pleasantly with a new gadget on Valentine’s Day. Options are plenty – a new phone, a smartwatch, or a gaming console and whatnot. You can also consider a luxury watch that he would like to wear every day and remember you every time he checks time.

A new tool or tool set: For the DIYer husband, there is nothing more satisfying than a perfect tool set. Find a high-end tool set, an upgrade over what he currently lives with.
