Valentine: "What can you get him?"

The weekend is planned. The dinner is reserved. The dress is picked. But one thing is still missing: the Gift!

Before any occasion, the first question we all think about (and when I say all I mean the ladies in general): “What should I get him?”


It is pretty easy to pick a gift for your mom, sister or friend, worst case scenario you get them a pair of earrings or maybe even a gift card.

But when it’s a man’s gift, there are no worst case scenarios! 

A watch?  he might not like to wear one.A tie? he might not be a suit and pants person. 
A perfume? Oh no! that is like the worst gift idea anyone can give to someone (anyone!).

Need help ladies? Okay relax, put your seat belts on and enjoy the ride through a list of the most amazing, classical and classy ideas for your better half, this V-day!

Some men are fans of accessories, especially those trendy bracelets; My personal favorite would be the Dinh Van bracelet. Menottes, Pi Chinois or Lame de Rasoir, all three choices make a perfect choice for a guy who likes wearing accessories.

Lame de Rasoir - Dinh Van
Menottes - Dinh Van


Pi Chinois - Dinh Van
P.S. Stay away from the necklaces, even a Cartier is a horrible, h.o.r.r.i.b.l.e. choice for a guy !

Cufflinks: These days most businessmen are becoming more and more into wearing cufflinks! It gives them a more “Manly” look, educated, successful and confident!

Now if he is a trendy person, go for something like the Menottes by Dinh Van, Tec Flex by Porsche Design or Kubus by Hugo Boss.

Classy but not classical? C Allongé by Cartier,  Double Knot by Tiffany & Co, Creative by Montblanc, Iconic by Montblanc or the Disc by Tom Ford.

Hats, cool hats like The Godfather hat or a bit of a Cuban style? Or how about the Funk by Hermès hat?

And since its winter you might as well get with a pair of gloves! The Clous de Selle by Hermès would be a perfect choice here!

Now your man is not an accessories fan?

Is he a frequent traveler? How about a Tablet Cover by Tumi or a Slim Laptop Leather Brief?

No? Then go big and get him a carry on or duffel. I would personally get the Continental Expandable 4 wheel carry on by Tumi or the Framed Soft Duffel also by Tumi.

He’s a technology freak and always like to be up to date? If his phone never lasts more than 6 months with him, then you should get him a new one. 

The top two selling phones of this season are the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Iphone 6 in both editions.

Iphone 6


Iphone 6 Plus

P.S.: White colored phones are a NO! NO! NO! for any man

He spends most of his time writing e-mails and finishing work from his phone? Always looking for a pen to write with? 

Then how about you make it easier and with a touch for him? Go get him the Pix by Montblanc pen. It is used for all Samsung’s galaxy notes and as a roller-ball at the same time.

Pix - Montblanc

Fitness, Sports, healthy lifestyle freak? 

The main themes of the past few years: Men became obsessed with heading to the gym and building the perfect body with well curved six packs. 

Then how about you get him the Fitbit Charger Fitness Tracker and let him calculate and track all his activities? He might also get you interested to get one for yourself and do the activities “à deux”.

Valentine comes during the winter season and this year we are lucky to have this season back in Lebanon. 

Our slopes are white powdery and looking great for some winter sports. Get him a brand new snowboard while at it. 

Mystery Snowboard by Burton is one out of too many choices and I just love the colors of this one (Red and Black)!


Mystery Snowboard - Burton

Last, but not least…. 

You can always go back to the classical style of gifts like a watch (but make a good sporty choice),

Chronograph Titanium Ltd - Porsche Design


A tie “De Valeur”,


Nattée de Soie - Hermès

A card holder,

Leather Cardholder - Tom Ford

Or even a DVD collection.

Wishing you all a beautiful love season and hoping you will get the gift you wish for.

Happy Valentine Ladies! Make it a memorable one :)
