Are you wondering how to spoil your husband on Valentine’s Day? These romantic Valentine gifts will make him feel extra special this year!
Valentine’s Day is usually all about the woman. It’s expected that the man plans everything!
I learned from my Dad a long time ago, that men love flowers too. At the time he was talking about actual flowers, so it’s been a running joke that I buy him flowers for his birthday and Father’s Day!
But ever since then, those words have always stuck with me.
As women, we want to be the ones who feel loved and spoiled, but men need that too sometimes. Maybe it’s your first Valentine’s Day married or it’s your 8th or 25th. No matter your timeline, it’s important to give the man in your life his flowers, literally.
With this in mind, I am sharing 21 romantic Valentine gifts that your husband will remember and talk about until the end of time.

Romantic Valentine Gifts for Each Love Language
Below you will find 21 different Valentine gift ideas for the special man in your life based on his love language.
Words of Affirmation
These gifts are for the husband who values your verbal affection. He loves to hear compliments, encouragement, and appreciation.
01 | Love Note Scavenger Hunt
Surprise your hubby with a love note scavenger hunt. You can keep it indoors or take it out of the house. Make each clue a love note full of your feelings for him and special memories leading him to the final treasure. The treasure can be whatever you choose, but I suggest that it leads to the bedroom.
02 | Conversation Cards
Reconnect and build intimacy through conversation. Conversation cards are a great way to disconnect from everything else and just be with your love. You both will appreciate each other in a new way by learning new things about one another.
This card game is full of great conversation starters which is perfect for married couples!
03 | Personal Playlist
Let’s take it back to the good old days. We all remember those mixed CDs that we made for that special someone. Make your husband a playlist full of songs that remind you of his love, how he makes you feel, and all the things.
04 | Conversation Hearts
A very simple, yet meaningful idea would be to cut out some hearts on construction paper and fill them up with the things you love about him. Leave them all around the house, in places where he looks the most or where he least expects it. Like in his favorite cereal box, his wallet, the bathroom mirror, his car, his shoes, a kitchen drawer, the back of his office door. Literally any and everywhere. He will be finding these notes until the end of the year.
This love box is the sweetest take on a traditional love note. Send your love and special notes to hubby from anywhere with this digital love note box.
acts of service
These gifts are for the husband who believes “actions speak louder than words.” He loves it when you go out of your way to make his life easier.
05 | King For A Day
Our men are always kings, but it’s especially fun to do this on a special occasion. I like to call this a “Yes Dear” day. Set out his clothes for work or the gym, make his morning coffee, fill up the gas tank, prepare his lunch for work.
Anticipate his wants and needs for the entire day. Whatever he asks, you do. If he told his perfect day, what would that look like?
06 | Coupon book
Make your husband a coupon book of things that he loves. You can customize it to fit his wants, needs, and desires.
This love box is a cute keepsake that you can personalize with 10 romantic things to do.
07 | Breakfast in bed
Make him breakfast in bed this Valentine’s Day. Get up early and make him his favorite things! If you’re not too good in the kitchen, then order breakfast from his favorite spot. Encourage him to stay in his pjs (or birthday suit) and treat him with a delicious, warm morning breakfast!
08 | Candlelight Dinner
I know most men love a good home-cooked meal. Prepare his favorite meal, the one you don’t make too often, and have it ready for him when he gets off work. Light a few candles, scatter rose petals everywhere, pour the wine, and put on that outfit you know he likes.
receiving gifts
These gifts are for the husband who appreciates a visual symbol of your love. It doesn’t matter about the monetary value but the thought behind it.
09 | 5 Senses Gift basket
Show him your love in every sense of the word! Create a gift basket with a collection of gifts focused on each of the five senses: Smell, Taste, Sight, Touch, and Sound. Think about his favorite things and gather them in a basket or bag, or wrap each gift individually.
10 | Special Event Tickets
Spoil your husband with tickets to something he’s been wanting to do or see. It could be a sports game, a concert, a stand-up show, anything! Think long and hard about his favorite team, type of music or singer, comedian, or activity and see what upcoming event you can find near you!
11 | Jewelry
Something about jewelry on a man is really sexy. Or is it just me? Look for nice chains, bracelets, or rings. It’s even better if you can find it in a set. Don’t feel like you have to spend all your coins on jewelry. You just want to look for quality pieces that don’t tarnish. Stainless steel jewelry is a great and durable option for all budget types.
12 | Cologne
I loooovvvee it when my man smells good! And he loves it when I tell him he smells good! Buy your man his signature scent. If he isn’t big on cologne, you can look for other ways to make him smell good. Like a soap, shampoo, or a beard wash. Get creative, but find a scent you both will enjoy.
This sea salt scent by Every Man Jack is one of my favorite scents that my husband wears. They offer this scent in body care, beard care, and even cologne.
quality time
These gifts are for the husband who loves spending time with you. He values uninterrupted time and your undivided attention.
13 | Indoor picnic
Turn off the lights and light a candle! This is my go-to gift when money and time are limited.
Put the kids to bed early or send them off to their grandparents. Set the mood and create a space of intimacy.
Throw out a blanket, a few pillows, and some candles. You can get fancy and order food from his favorite restaurant or you can keep it simple with a home-cooked meal, desserts, snacks or sandwiches. Pop some bubbly and use this time to share deep conversation.
14 | Game night
I don’t know about you, but game night gets very competitive in this household, but we love it. Gather some games along with snacks and laugh it up with your partner!
Amp up the fun with these jumbo games.
15 | New date night idea
Go on a date somewhere you’ve never tried. Keep the relationship fun and fresh with new experiences for both of you.
If you need ideas this Couples Bucket List set is perfect. It includes 100 date night ideas for you and your love to try!
16 | Paint & sip night
Paint & Sip can be a fun date night enjoyed right at home. Gather your materials; you’ll need paints, brushes, and canvases. Pick your favorite Bob Ross tutorial on Netflix or YouTube. Make a cute little charcuterie with your and hubby’s favorite snacks, don’t forget the dranks, and enjoy a cozy night in.
Grab this acrylic paint set and cocktail recipe book to have a perfect Valentine’s date night.
17 | Weekend Getaway
Surprise your honey with a little weekend getaway or staycation in your hometown. Book a hotel or Air BnB – get there early and decorate the room, then surprise him with an already packed bag.
You can stay in or explore the area, whatever is needed at the moment. Make dinner reservations or order in, attend an event in the area, or stay in watching movies or playing games. The goal is to give him a change of scenery and routine for a weekend.
Getting away from the house (and kids) for a weekend is a game changer and needed more than you probably know!
physical touch
These gifts are for the husband who feels loved through intimacy and touch. They feel a sense of comfort through kissing, hugging, cuddling, etc.
18 | Pamper Day
Out of all the romantic valentine gifts, this one is my favorite! Men love to be pampered too! Treat your man to an at home spa day.
Gift him with a nice robe, a drink, and some TLC. Give him the full experience! Set the mood with a relaxing playlist. Draw (and give) him a bath (feel free to get in with him), give him a facial, wash his hair or beard, give him a mani-pedi, and end the pamper day with a massage.
I suggest making it sensual and sexy. Be careful with this one though, he might expect this on a regular basis. Try at your own risk!
19 | Spin the bottle
If you want to spice things up a bit, try this spin the bottle date night idea. If you and hubby love card games, this is the one for you.
Spin the bottle and whatever card it lands on, you have to do . . . get the picture?
20 | Strip Basketball
This idea was taken from one of my favorite movies, Love & Basketball. Buy a small basketball and hoop and play a fun little game of strip basketball. Trust me your partner will love the physical contact. It will be a night full of genuine fun and laughter!
21 | Couples Body Painting
Book a class for a couple’s body painting session. A playful, romantic, and unforgettable activity where you and hubby are the canvas.
Can’t find a local body painting class? Create the experience at home. Buy some non-toxic, glow in the dark body paint, turn off the lights, and have fun!
