Best Valentine's gifts for boyfriends 202:
There is a reason that this fragrance is such a bestseller. We are yet to meet a man who doesn't love the scent of Dior's Sauvage.
A backpack makes a practical gift that you know your partner will use everyday. We love this one from Troubadour which has a stylish shape and clever waterproof design (yes, even the zip), so he can use it for anything - from travelling to his daily commute.
For something a little more sentimental: we adore this mini photo book that you can fill with your most precious shared memories.
If he's a fan of cooking, this salt or pepper grinder from Addison Ross is an indulgent gift he'll get loads of use out of. They come in different sizes and colours, so you can mix and match to suit his style.
You can't go wrong with a pair of classic black suede trainers - we bet he'll wear this Russel & Bromley style all. The. Time.
How chic is this shaving gel by Soho Skin? The formula contains prebiotics, aloe vera and barley extract to help soothe and minimise irritation.
With notes of smoky tea, musk and ginger, this new Bvlgari fragrance makes a failsafe gift if he likes to experiment with new scents.
If he's a fan of craft beer and snacks, he's sure to love this Beavertown Brewery bundle - filled with treats from Neck Oil, Montezuma's chocolate and more.
I guarantee he'll use this Nespresso milk frother every single day - whether it's steaming milk for his morning coffee or effortlessly mixing and heating his matcha tea.
If your partner is getting into fitness this year, an Apple Watch would make the perfect present.
Ok, so you might not be able to fulfil his dreams of owning an Aston Martin, but why not gift him the next best thing? This driving experience will allow your partner to go behind the wheel of three Aston Martin cars, with 17 locations to choose from.
And if he's a fan of more relaxing experiences, why not get him an Urban gift voucher? They provide massages and other treatments in the comfort of your own home - if he doesn't like the idea of going to a designated treatment space, this could be just pick.
Chain necklaces are such a popular accessory for men, but with so many out there it can be hard to choose. This Missoma one is our personal favourite, thanks to the vintage-inspired design.
Is your boyfriend constantly stealing your cosy robe? Treat him to his very own style, by none other than Calvin Klein.
Any coffee lover will greatly appreciate a Nespresso machine. This mini one would work perfectly in any size kitchen, and comes with two programmable coffee selections to choose from.
These coffee pods are biodegradable, Nespresso machine-compatible and come in the dreamiest flavours. Hazelnut, we're looking at you.
Find it hard putting how you really feel down on paper? This romantic 'read me when' set will help you write a series of love letters that he can read when he's had a bad day or is feeling flirtatious.
You can never have too many pairs of socks. Especially when they are by Hugo Boss.
This mini Theragun is the perfect massage device for on the go. If your partner loves heading to the gym, this may be his new best friend.
Switch up his classic drink of choice with Kraken's black cherry and Madagascan vanilla spiced rum.
He uses body wash every day, but we can guarantee that he's never tried one as indulgent as this one from Patricks. It's formulated with multivitamins and salicylic acid, making it great for treating body breakouts.
This ceramic bowl is sweet, simple and straight to the point. We want one immediately.
If he's been dropping hints about a new pair of sunglasses for a hot second, we think it's about time you treated him to this effortlessly sleek pair from Quay.
This photo album is designed to look like a chic coffee table book - if he cares about great design just as much as sentimentality. Filled with your shared memories, it makes the ideal gift.
You pretty much can't go wrong with a stylish cashmere jumper, and this style from Extreme Cashmere fits the bill perfectly.
If he's a bit of a foodie, he'll adore Payst's handmade Thai dipping sauces. With unique flavours like ginger and green sweet chilli and beetroot sweet chilli they're a real treat. Our favourite? The Burnt Chilli sauce.
Built around the belief that fragrances are not limited to binary categories but should be celebrated for their fluid nuances, Escentric Molecules have created a 'theirs' limited-edition gift set. You can choose any two Molecules scents to include in the set - it's the ideal gift for minimalist scent lovers.
You'll get major brownie points for gifting him the headphones of his dreams - AKA these Beats Studio Pro wireless ones. They're engineered for optimal clarity with near-zero distortion and active noise cancellation. Plus they come in the most gorgeous shades.
The Ember mug is a real game changer if he's always complaining about his tea getting cold. It has a temperature control function to keep drinks at their optimal temperature for hours - down to the very last drop.
You know his rugby bag is in need of an upgrade, so why not treat him to this chic one from Rodd & Gunn?
You basically can't go wrong with a classic hoodie, and this Jordan one comes in the most stunning red shade.
If he prefers experiences as gifts (and is super into wellness) a membership at luxury wellness space Grey Wolfe is perfect. He'll have access to treatments designed to take care of his physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing (think: BioTechnology and exclusively Attuned Massages), and he'll get to bring a guest each time he goes, so you can enjoy the experience too!
In the same vein, you could book a relaxing spa getaway for the two of you at Spa Breaks - because you're both probably in need of a treat right now.
These Cariuma trainers are simply perfect for winter. They're lined with a super cosy thermal shearling and are fully waterproof, making them great for wet and frosty walks.
And if he prefers boots to trainers, these chic Merry People wellies come in loads of different colours to suit his style. We adore this chocolate brown shade.
If his walls are more artwork than paint, might I suggest this hand drawn digital print? If he's a fan of Korean neo-noir cinema, it's the perfect choice.
For a real statement piece of jewellery, this diamond-adorned chunky bracelet is ideal. It also has a huge discount right now!
If your boyfriend is into music, he will love this vinyl record player. It comes complete with a headphone jack, RCA audio out, and features dynamic, full-range stereo speakers. You could even buy him a few of his favourite records, too.
If he loves the great outdoors, then Byredo's Tree House Candle is a great gift. The woody scent features top notes of bamboo and peppery pimento, alongside notes of hay, rich labdanum and myrrh.
This gift is ideal for all the whisky lovers out there. With notes of strawberries, oranges, caramel and coffee, what's not to like?
Another great practical gift is an electric toothbrush. This Oral-B one features revolutionary iO technology for a professional clean at home. It comes with four brushing modes and a smart pressure sensor to alert you if you're brushing too hard. Oh, and it's currently reduced from £240 to just £93.95.
A great selection of gifts if you ask us. Which one will you go for?
