Not everyone speaks English, but hardly anyone will refuse a jar of salted pistachios. This is a neutral gift that will suit your loved one, your dad, or just friends.

Special paints for glass and ceramics are sold in art stores, and warm words lie in your heart.

Anything that is scented and helps you smell good is a traditional gift. If store options don’t suit you (and this happens more often than you’d like), take matters into your own hands. A personal fragrance in a special package with a declaration of love - why not a gift?

To do this you will need:

  • 2 teaspoons beeswax;
  • 2 teaspoons oil (coconut, almond, olive, grape seed);
  • 40-45 drops of essential oils (which you choose according to your taste);
  • box for the finished fragrance.

Before the New Year's fireworks had died down, it was time to prepare gifts for your loved ones on February 14 - Valentine's Day. It is no secret that there are a large number of people who are against this festival for various reasons, but there are also those who are not averse to pampering their loved ones with pleasant surprises.

I remember back in my student years, some of my classmates, starting on the 20th of January, terrorized their girlfriends with the question of what to give their boyfriend on February 14th? The list of gifts at that time could not boast of its diversity, if only because these were “zero” and informational Internet sites were not so widespread. What can we say about computers, only a few could boast of having them!

But in 2018, everything is much simpler. Just enter a query into the search bar, and you will be offered a variety of gift ideas for any holiday. Every year we prepare a list of possible gifts and this holiday will be no exception!

A list of inexpensive gifts for a guy on February 14th for any age!

There are a lot of holidays in Russia and this should not be forgotten when searching for and choosing a surprise. There is still February 23rd, birthdays, New Year ahead... What I mean is that February 14th is still not worth spending seriously.

Don’t forget that Valentine’s Day is a holiday for two lovers, and therefore, if possible, gifts should be themed and not expensive! We have collected the best ideas that any guy will 100% like! Shall we get started?

Young people aged 15 years and older. Inexpensive options or handmade gifts.

  • Sky lantern. Probably every year on the evening of February 14, they organize a flash mob dedicated to Valentine's Day. Young people making a wish launch their lantern into the sky. The cost ranges from 60 rubles to 200 rubles. depending on its size. Don’t forget to take a felt-tip pen with you to write words of love or wishes, as well as a lighter and your cheerful mood 🙂 I think this is the cutest option you could come up with 🙂 Your other half will definitely like it!

  • Yummy treats. Regardless of gender and age, most people love sweets. Of course, there are “girly” options :) in the form of heart-shaped boxes, etc., they will definitely not be appropriate. But more brutal options will remain in the memory of your loved one for a long time. You can also capture all this beauty and post it on Insta or somewhere else :)
    • I almost forgot, we include chocolate or fruit kebabs as “brutal”
    • Chocolate weapon sets, but this is more likely for the upcoming holiday on February 23...

If you think that this is an expensive option, we hasten to reassure you :) All you need is 1 or 2 bars of chocolate, sticks (instead of skewers), fruit.

The cooking process is simple. It is enough to cut into pieces, say, a banana or kiwi, put it on a skewer, and dip this beauty in hot chocolate, which will need to be melted in advance. You can sprinkle grated nuts or coconut on top! The approximate price will be 250 - 300 rubles! Well, what do you think of the idea?

  • Continuing the culinary theme, we propose to build another masterpiece consisting of pancakes prepared by you, pieces of fruit and whipped cream. Of course, you can’t drag something like this out into the street, but if you are in a fairly close relationship and often visit each other or live together, then the festive dinner can be completed with a similar dessert, or maybe something hotter :)

  • A banal, but valid, “gift certificate” for your own services. For example: a whole day without a showdown, whims, or a hug, a kiss or a hot night!

It’s easy to do; all you need is imagination and imagination. Allocate a possible budget, say 5000 coins. At the same time, each service will have its own price. For example: “Hugs” - 100 coins, “Passionate kiss” - 500 coins, “Gala dinner” - 1500 coins, “Coffee in bed” - 800 coins, “Night of love” - 2500 coins, etc.

  • And here's another free one. Letter - write a simple letter on paper. We are all used to receiving SMS, messages on social networks and instant messengers, but we have completely forgotten what it’s like to receive a letter from a loved one. Write down all your most pleasant memories, the best moments in your relationship and, of course, tell us about your love.
  • Some needlewomen prefer to make joint photo albums and come up with funny names and descriptions. Someone draws funny posters... These are the masterpieces I would like to talk about. Their plot is quite simple. You need to prepare phrases like: Our whole life will be as sweet and bright as m&m’s, because we are like a couple of “Twix”. Of course, instead of the names of the chocolate bars, you should stick the treats themselves.

  • And of course, Valentine's card. A small card with a confession of your tender feelings. In stores now you can find a wide variety of cool options ranging from 100 to 200 rubles. But, if this doesn’t suit you, you can always do it yourself.

What else to give a guy on February 14 from 500 rubles. and higher?

If you belong to that category of girls who believe that the best gift for a man can only be technological gadgets, then the second part of our publication is dedicated to you :)

  • Almost all guys depend on their PCs and laptops in one way or another. Some play online games, others work or use them for study. But, in any case, any computer requires an upgrade. The same mice often break down and start to lag; buy a suitable wireless model in the store, especially since now the choice is huge and depends directly on your budget.
    • Wireless gaming mouse
    • USB drives
    • Headphones
    • Memory module... (if you are a geek and understand)

  • "Cool things" for smartphones. Many people use smartphones with large display diagonals. Using protective films and glass. But, over time, even the best film becomes unusable, scratches appear on it and generally loses its oleophobic coating. And a new smartphone protection kit will never be superfluous! Just about the cover... don't rush. It is quite possible that you will buy it, but the young man will not like it...

But gadgets for the phone are not limited to “glasses” alone. There is also a whole list of various “needs” in the form of:

  1. Bluetooth speakers
  2. Bluetooth handsfree for car
  3. Drives
  4. Smartphone holders
  5. Magnetic holders

Last year, I was honored to receive a magnetic holder as a gift for February 14th. At first I was skeptical about the little thing, but a little later I began to respect it :) A year has passed, and the magnetic holder continues to help me out! Its cost was 700 rubles, but there are cheaper ones.

  • Strap for a watch or for a smart bracelet. I have a Xiaomi Mi Band 2 fitness bracelet, which I have not parted with for more than 9 months. It suited me in every way, but to tell the truth, the strap was terrible... After 3 months it became unusable. Of course, there was an opportunity to replace it with a similar one, but why? history would repeat itself again. Therefore, my choice fell on a leather strap with a metal fastener at a price of 400 rubles. Now it looks great and I'm sure it won't break after some time... Perhaps your boyfriend would also like to replace the strap on his watch?

  • Every person should smell good! You agree with this, right? Then a new perfume in a beautiful package is what you need.
  • A beautiful leather or wicker bracelet for your wrist. It's time to get rid of stereotypes, because not only girls, but also men can wear bracelets.

In addition to romantic gifts, it is worth highlighting practical and useful ones :)

  • For example, a multitool that looks like ordinary pliers, but folds easily and contains a whole set of tools that may be needed at the most necessary moment (knife, bottle opener, screwdrivers).
  • A headlamp for those who like to tinker in the garage late at night. Or a flashlight for his bike. It may be winter now, but the snow will melt very soon :)
  • Motorists can be given a heart-shaped car air freshener. Price from 100 rub.

  • Recently, 360° videos have become popular, but in order to watch them comfortably, you need virtual reality glasses. Just don’t be alarmed, now you can find options starting from 600 rubles. Yes, it’s a toy, and it’s not used often, but what emotions it will give you! At least at first :)
  • Power Bank - or “bank” in common parlance. It is an indispensable item for a quickly discharging smartphone. You can put it in your backpack and charge your phone if necessary. And now, the guy won’t be able to excuse himself for not calling you because the battery ran out :) And this is also a useful thing when traveling and long night walks. After all, you can also charge your phone from the battery.

  • There is probably no guy who doesn’t love cars and isn’t interested in news from the world of the auto industry, travel or homemade products. Undoubtedly, there are Internet portals, Youtube, where you can get all the information, but it is much more pleasant to feel the touch of a real glossy magazine on the skin of your fingers: “Behind the Wheel”, “Traveller”, “Popular Mechanics”, etc. So give him a subscription to one of the magazines! The cost will be from 600 to 1000 rubles. For half a year.

We hope our publication will help you with your choice, share it with your friends and girlfriends, perhaps some of them still don’t know what you can give to your loved one on February 14th!

And most importantly, remember that it is you who are important to the guy, without a gift, without surprises or presents. Your love, support and tenderness are the main things he values ​​in you :)

If you have your own options, we will be glad to see them in the comments!

Choosing a gift for your chosen one for Valentine's Day becomes almost a universal problem, especially for girls, because they strive to preserve all the romance in a relationship and somehow express their feelings in a special way. February 14th happens only once a year, but how much effort and time is spent preparing for this romantic holiday.

What can you give a guy on February 14: a list of ideas

There is an opinion that men do not like to show their feelings, and prefer practical and useful things as gifts. But behind the iron character and stony face hide dreamers, romantics with a soft soul and a warm heart.

Watch

Wristwatch - a gift for a long time

Nowadays, watches are an integral part of the image, which emphasizes the status in society and complements the image. Their advantage is that a correctly selected accessory is suitable for any man’s style: be it business or “hooligan”. Another advantage is that the watch will last for many years. Of course, you need to periodically change the batteries and tune them, but these are minor costs compared to, for example, a smartphone or laptop.

There is a belief that a couple will soon separate if one partner gives the other a watch, but practice shows that this is not the case. If you are superstitious, you can cheat time and sell the accessory to your lover for a few coins.

All men like gadgets

Men strive to keep up with modern technologies and acquire new devices. Nowadays there is a huge assortment on the technology and electronics market. So what should you choose? Decide based on your man's hobbies and interests. When purchasing a super gadget, do not forget to take into account its technical characteristics and functionality, so that the gift turns out to be doubly pleasant.

A set of tools is necessary in the house

A set of tools for a man is like a construction set - keys, screwdrivers, clamps, etc. Does your husband like to make something, repair something, or tinker with a car? Choose a complete set for it with a special organizer in which you can put the entire tool. It is both convenient and practical.

Men's Accessories

If your man prefers a business style, choose expensive accessories for him that will further emphasize his individuality.


Collage “The Birthplaces of Love” for romantics

All important events took place in some place - they should be on the collage

If your relationship has reached the level where you live together, this simple gift will remind you of your first dates and lift your spirits.

So, for this you will need:

  • Whatman paper A2 or A1;
  • printed photographs (10x15 or smaller) of memorable places for both of you (the park where you walked, the store where you first saw each other, etc.);
  • glue;
  • markers of different colors and a pen;

There are two collage options:

  • a collage of photographs with small captions and pasted onto whatman paper in any order;
  • the second method is similar to an adventure game with different locations. Each has its own picture and description. You need to make a similar map of your relationship, connect the places in the photo with arrows, lines, and write under each image what happened there.

To keep the collage for a long time, you can laminate it.

Tickets for a concert or show

A concert or any other event is a good distraction from everyday life.

Men also need entertainment, it is also important for them to throw out their emotions and get a dose of adrenaline. And you don’t have to be an extreme sports enthusiast at all. A concert of your favorite band or an exciting show program can give you a lot of impressions. Check out the events in your city and buy two tickets to the event. In addition, all this is very easy to do via the Internet.

Valentine “I like about you...”

On the back of the valentine card, write all the best things about your loved one.

With love about... Make a big valentine card, decorate it beautifully on one side, and list all the virtues that your man is endowed with on the other side. Write about his best qualities, for which you love him even more.

Home starry sky

The starry sky can be in your home every evening

This gift will appeal to romantics and astronomy lovers. As you know, within the city limits the night sky cannot be seen due to the light of street lamps. In this case, use a home planetarium that projects the starry sky onto any surface. Once a year you can break stereotypes: even if it’s not a man, you give him the whole sky with stars.

Chocolate in a beautiful wrapper for lovers

You can make your own chocolate wrapper

An option for busy girls who, in a series of hassles and running around, did not have time to purchase a gift. A cute and...tasty present in an original wrapper. To make such packaging, use a ready-made template or draw your own in the editor and print. All that remains is to wrap the chocolate.

Jar or box with a delicious set

You can buy a set of sweets, or you can assemble it yourself

There can never be too much sweets, even for a man, so a large jar filled with various sweets and marmalade will be accepted by even the most serious person with childish joy. In stores you can buy ready-made sets, but they are small and do not have a special variety of sweets, so it is better to assemble such a jar yourself from caramels, chocolates, marmalade, dragees and other goodies.

Cookies with wishes - a delicious gift for dreamers

Who said that men don't dream and don't make wishes? Give him a box of cookies with wishes. Prepare everything for a sincere evening, create the appropriate atmosphere and present a gift - a whole box with countless wishes.

Warmer for cup

Cups should also have clothes

We associate a homemade sweater, a cup of tea and cookies with comfort and warmth, so combining these components into one whole will not make a person sad. Give your guy a knitted mug warmer with funny inscriptions. Thanks to the “sweater,” the tea will stay hot longer, but your hands won’t get burned on the cup.

Wooden puzzle “My heart”

Puzzle for two

Any puzzle trains your intelligence. Assemble this wooden heart together by selecting pieces one at a time. Turn it into a fun game. For example, the one who misses his turn brings breakfast in bed or buys his favorite cookies.

Portrait in pop art style

The portrait can be made in black and white or bright colors

Pop art is an amazing style that combines originality and bright colors. A painting in this genre will become a decorative item in the interior and will please men’s pride - who will not be happy that he has become a part of art.

Travel map

The protective layer must be removed from the card, just like on lotto tickets.

If your man travels a lot alone or with you, you can give him a world map. It is covered with a special layer that can be easily erased with a coin. Before giving it, do not forget to “clean” those countries where your chosen one has already been, and those places where he plans to go must be washed himself.

Convenience for those who need only one blanket

A large, soft and unusual fleece blanket, and even with sleeves. It's more of a gift for two. Now none of you will have to drag the blanket from one end to the other.

Photo mosaic of your photos together

A picture of events from your life in a mosaic

The idea to create a complete image from a large number of small pictures came to the mind of the surrealist Salvador Dali. Realize it by collecting your favorite photographs that capture the best moments of your life together. It will look unusual, but you can look at the mosaic endlessly.

Give gifts to your loved one with soul and great joy, so that they evoke only positive emotions in both of you. Surprise, love and take care of your men, and not only on February 14th.

Dear girls, on the eve of Valentine's Day, we decided to think about what gift we could give to our beloved boyfriend or husband? But we will do this with one condition) We will not just list what to give a guy on February 14... we will try to put deep meaning into the gift and turn this day into a sincere and memorable holiday, which can easily become a happy family tradition in the future.

If you are dating recently...

So, if your relationship with your chosen one is in the initial romantic stage, then we will focus on romance.

Making a Valentine's card

The simplest and most expected gift for February 14th is, of course, a Valentine's card. But since girls are for the most part creative in nature, and when they fall in love they are also inspired, buying a Valentine card in a store is not an option.

You definitely need to make your own Valentine card! And even if it doesn’t turn out perfectly, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that the card is made especially for your loved one!

There are already many ways to create valentines described on Krestik. All you have to do is look through them, choose the one you like best and bring your idea to life!

And now the most important thing in this venture!

Be sure to sign the current year and indicate which Valentine's Day it is for your couple!

You can leave a space on your Valentine’s card in advance so that you can then write a short story about how you spent that day. Next February 14th you will be interested in recalling the events of the previous one)

You can also buy 2 postcards in the store and let each of you write a message to your significant other in the following way: what would you like to do with your loved one over the next year (go to the sea, skydive, meet your parents, etc.) .d.). You should then exchange cards and try to fulfill each other's wishes before the next Valentine's Day. This ritual can become your highlight, your little tradition)

Collage for social networks

Social networks are so popular nowadays that we simply have no right to bypass them) If you are better at working on a computer than at handicrafts, then you can make a virtual Valentine for your boyfriend.

Collect some of your most significant, funniest, beautiful photographs and make a photo collage out of them (there are online editors online that allow you to compose one picture from several, without you needing any special skills or knowledge). Don’t forget to write a declaration of love, say a few words about what he, your chosen one, is like (kind, handsome, sexy, smart, strong, etc.).

Your boyfriend will love this kind of attention to his person)

We write our own poems

Falling in love is a special state of mind. At this time, lovers often write declarations of love in poetry for each other. If you are able to compose at least a short quatrain, be sure to do it! You can use names, dates, names of places you went to together in your poem... in general, write your story in verse)

If you do this every Valentine's Day, you will have your own collection of love poems, which you can then re-read again and again!

We weave a bauble

If you already know that a bauble is a so-called friendship bracelet, then it’s time to find out that identical or similar baubles on the hands of a guy and a girl tell others that the young people are a couple. And if you are not yet ready to wear wedding rings, then wear paired baubles - this is not as serious as rings, but nevertheless it will unite you and symbolize your love.

After carefully reading the above article, you will understand the principle of weaving baubles from threads and will have time to weave them by February 14th. Here are a couple of suitable schemes:

Schemes for weaving baubles from threads

Even if over time you stop wearing these baubles, keep them as a keepsake. Let them keep your love story together with valentines and poems.

How about doing something on this day that you have never done for your loved one?.. Show your imagination, use our tips and surprise, surprise, surprise!

As you can see, we have already written and told a lot. We hope that from all the proposed material, you will definitely find ideas that you immediately want to implement. And, in principle, no matter how long you have been together - six months or 10 years - in your relationship there should always be a place for romance, pleasant surprises, unexpected actions and, of course, LOVE!

Have a beautiful Valentine's Day! Remember, this can only be done TOGETHER!

If you are one of the people who are not used to limiting themselves to giving a Valentine's Day on Valentine's Day, then you will definitely like the idea of ​​a surprise! “The Cross” gives a fairly complete answer to the question of what surprise you can give to your loved one on February 14th. Let's get inspired and start preparing! 🙂

Notes with declarations of love

Box with declarations of love

Let's start with the fact that on this day there will be more than one Valentine! Buy a beautiful gift box (alternatively, print out a template and fold the box yourself or cover it with any gift paper you have in the house... with hearts)) and put a fabric heart in it.

Then cut out many, many multi-colored hearts from colored paper and on each of them write declarations of love in the following form: “I love you because...” or “What I love most about you is...”. Place all the paper hearts in a box and give them on the designated day. Your loved one will take out every heart with interest! In the future, you can take one or two hearts out of the box at random at any time, read and remember pleasant moments)

Sweets with declarations of love

A slightly modified version of this surprise with love notes is that you buy a package of Mentos-type sweets, carefully open it, take out the sweets, and then put them back into the package, but alternating them with notes! Thus, when he takes out the candy, he will also take out your message of recognition) Be prepared for a call from your loved one with words of gratitude for the surprise!

Cookies with declarations of love :)

Those who are close to the culinary arts can bake cookies in the shape of hearts and solemnly present them to their loved one, let them take them with them to work (study) and drink tea during a break. Of course, at this moment he will think exclusively about you)

Diary “Only for him”

It may be too late to give a diary in mid-February, but you can still do it. The surprise will be that on the pages with memorable dates for your couple, you will write something corresponding to that day. You can go further and paste photographs of yourself or you with him on some pages, rewrite some of the SMSs sent by him or sent by you.

To implement this idea, buy a dated diary, otherwise you will have to put down dates for a long time in search of the right one.

Or you can simply write something pleasant on each page of the diary) Then each new day for your loved one will begin with reading your parting words or... a declaration of love.

How it was…

Another similar surprise gift can be arranged like this. Cut out several large hearts and many, many small ones from paper. Place large hearts in those places in the apartment in which you made love and be sure (!) to write a short story about how and when it happened) The writing style can be anything: from comic to playful.

Then, starting from the front door, make paths of small hearts leading to large hearts.

When your loved one finds one heart, reads it and understands the essence of the surprise, he will immediately want to find all the others! Men love to play treasure hunting) Well, and then... then no one has the right to forbid you to repeat everything described in the hearts again)) A romantic surprise for your loved one will be a success!

You can give your man the opportunity to make you a cat or another character that turns him on. How? Very simple. Buy body art paints and a soft brush, place it all in the room, turn off the lights, light candles. When your loved one comes home, blindfold him, take him to the kitchen, feed him a light holiday dinner, and then, blindfolded again, lead him into the room. Next, all you have to do is undress and offer your services as a model. He will really like it!
