What I Really Want for Valentine's Day

Raid my wishlist.

Ah, Valentine’s Day. The day that most men come to dread. What really tends to get us guys about Valentine’s Day is the idea of gifting. You could have a day out with a difference and spend some quality time together but if you also want to give them something, it can open a small can of worms – what’s an appropriate gift for the amount of time we’ve been dating? What’s just the right amount of thoughtful, without appearing cheap? If you’re as stumped as we are over what to give the man in your life, let this list from my mates and me offer food for thought...

A smartwatch or quality headphones will always be well received. Why not upgrade their tech essentials with all-singing-all-dancing styles from the experts?

Whatever he tends to be in life – a corporate warrior, a gym junkie or weekend adventurer – a sturdy bag will always be an item he can always rely on. A weekender bag is a great choice for overnight stays and weekends away – it’s something every guy needs but rarely spends on. Get him one that passes for a decent carry-on.

...and arguably still practical. Although he may have sat on and broken his last good pair, trust that he’s learnt from his mistakes and is now wiser for it. Perfect for the summer season (and in Australia, any season for that matter) a pair of sunnies is a must-have. Is he a Ray-Ban kind of guy? Perhaps he likes the vintage appeal of Persol? Or maybe he’s into the sportiness of Oakley
