[Valentine's Day is coming soon!] Give your loved ones gifts other than chocolate. 5 recommended gifts for your boyfriend or husband
Hello! This is Nakajima from HushTug.
Even though it's February, the cold weather continues, how are you all doing?
Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Many people will be giving gifts along with their chocolates, but have you decided what gift you'll get this year?
For those of you who haven't decided yet, this time we will introduce some gifts other than chocolate that men would be happy to receive, from the perspective of "gifts that men want."
If you're still having trouble deciding on a gift, I hope this will serve as a reference.
What gift should you choose for your loved one?
Of course, it's normal to give chocolate to important people like your boyfriend or husband, but I think there are many people who feel that just giving chocolate every year is a little unsatisfying.
For men, it's a happy thing just to receive it every year, but I think your feelings will be conveyed even more if you give something extra besides chocolate.
There are a few points to consider when choosing a gift.
I hope these points will be helpful when choosing gifts in the future.
1. Highly practical items that can be used every day
As we have mentioned in a previous blog, men tend to prefer more practical items than women.
For example, ties and business card holders that can be used in business situations, scarves and accessories that can be used privately, etc. are more likely to be appreciated than fashionable accessories.
Choose things you can use every day rather than things you receive but don't know how to use!
2. Don’t give too expensive gifts
When choosing a gift, you should keep in mind the budget.
If you give a gift that is too expensive, many men will feel pressured and wonder, "What should I give them as a return gift on White Day?"
It may be a good idea to choose something within a budget of around 5,000 to 10,000 yen, which is not too expensive.
3. Chocolate-colored items in honor of Valentine's Day
If you choose a gift by taking 1 and 2 into consideration, the gift will be safe and will be no different from usual.
So, since it's Valentine's Day, why not choose something in chocolate colors?
Many brands offer limited edition colors at this time of year, so we recommend them.
Also, since chocolate brown is a subdued color, I think men will be happy when they wear it as it gives off a mature vibe!
5 recommended gifts to give along with chocolate
So far I have written about how to choose a gift for someone special.
Next, we will introduce some recommended items based on the gift selection method introduced earlier.
Here we will introduce the general categories of items, so please use this as a reference when looking for colors and designs that suit the recipient!
1. Tie
It's a classic gift item that is highly practical.
This is a gift that can be used every day, regardless of the season, and it is easy to make it unique with its design, color, and material.
However, this gift is limited to people who normally wear suits, so be sure to understand the recipient's job beforehand!
2. Muffler
It is a popular gift item as it is practical and easy to create a sense of specialness.
This is a gift that is easy to make unique with its design, color, and material as it is something that will be used every day during the winter season.
It might be a good idea to think about what you usually wear and choose a color and design that suits you.
However, if you gave it as a Christmas present last year, it will be the same as giving it to someone else, so choose something different!
3. Perfume
It's extremely practical and comes in at a budget of around 5,000 to 10,000 yen.
You can change your perfume depending on your mood that day, so it's good to have several.
Since it's for men, you might think that you don't know what kind of scent to choose, but if you choose one based on your own preferences, the man will also know your partner's favorite scent, which could deepen your relationship!
Men tend not to like sweet scents, so we recommend mature scents.
4. Loungewear
Due to the effects of COVID-19, many people are spending more time at home and working from home.
In times like these, giving them a gift of something they can use at home is sure to make them happy!
5. Leather goods
Leather accessories are a popular gift item.
Items like key cases and pass cases can be purchased within your budget, and I think many brands are releasing limited edition colors at this time of year.
However, limited colors are often available in limited quantities, so if you are considering purchasing one, please do so as soon as possible!
HushTug also sells clutch bags and pouches that are perfect as gifts.
