If your man is tricky to buy for, we’re here to help you with our top five valentine's gift experiences for him. Finding the best valentine's gifts for him can sometimes be a quandry. While women commonly receive jewellery, flowers or perfume, men, well, nobody knows!
Let’s face facts, looking for a material good that symbolises your love is never going to be easy. That’s why we think you should consider giving an experience as a gift.
We’re firm believers in thoughtful gift experiences over a box of chocolates or another pair of designer socks. Although, boxes of chocolates and cosy socks are pretty great too so you might want to consider giving both. But seriously, experience days for men offer a unique alternative that will help you show your loved one just how much they mean to you whilst also creating memories rather than gathering clutter.
Maybe he’s a budding amateur photographer who would enjoy an online photography course? Or maybe he fancies himself quite the mixologist and wants to shake it with the best of them in an online DIY cocktails masterclass? Whatever, wherever, whoever - there are plenty of gift experiences for him to choose from.
That’s why we’ve narrowed it down to our personal favourites with a top-five best gift experiences for him list…
1. Give him the gift of delicious food this Valentine's Day with a virtual cooking class
If he’s a foodie or just loves to cook, cooking classes online or cooking kits are the perfect gifts for him. He can learn how to make pasta from scratch with Italian cooking classes, perfect French cuisine or learn Indian curry recipes with some vegetarian cooking classes - the best part? You’ll get to reap the benefits as a pair with delectable home-cooked meals!
Whether you take an online class together on Valentine’s Day or simply give the virtual class and DIY kit as a gift experience for him, he’ll be blown away by the thoughtfulness and uniqueness of the gift. We promise!
If you choose to take a class together as either a Zoom date or an at-home Valentine’s Day activity, you’ll be creating lots of delicious memories as you whip up a mouth-watering storm.

2. Snap up his heart by gifting him a photography course online
Photography is a great hobby that can lead to a rewarding career path but it can be quite difficult to learn on your own. That’s why a photography course online could be an incredible gift for him that allows him to step up his image game in 2024.

If your man is a little more stressed out than he, or you, would like him to be then a DIY terrarium workshop could help relax him. Crafting your own little green world has been known to be a rather meditative experience that can help alleviate negative emotions or stress.
