VDay gifts for less (him)

February 10, 2010 //  by Uju//  Leave a Comment

Diamonds, cars, houses. Extravagant tokens of love can be swell. But in these crunchy times, there’s no reason to pay stupid for Cupid. We’ve rounded up some Valentine’s gift ideas all under 50 bucks (that’s in pounds, euros and dollars). These little beauties are sure to please your object of desire without upsetting your bank balance.


The Genie head massager £4.99
It looks like a medieval torture instrument but it has the effect of a sex toy and no batteries to worry about. Trust us, this will have him purring for more.


Hug Salt & Pepper Shakers £20
Add a little extra to your meal with these sweet designer shakers.

‘Princess Bride’ Inigo Montoya t-shirt £24.99
What better declaration of romance than a t-shirt from a classic film whose message is: true love conquers all.


Retro Sweets Hamper £29.99
Take him on a nostalgic trip back to the days of love notes and bike sheds.


Cashmere Football Scarf £40
OK, so this busts the budget in dollar equivalent but the look on your man’s face when he wraps it around his neck will be priceless.
