Boxers/briefs 

Now depending on whether the man in your life is a boxer or briefs kind of guy you cannot go wrong with this gift.  This is an absolute classic and one gift your man will love, it is definitely my go to when I’m not sure what to buy. It is perfect as you do not need a large budget and you can have these as a little extra gift if you have something more special in mind. For a larger budget I would recommend opting for a designer pair of underwear, Calvin Klein, Jeff Banks or even Emporio Armani you can find these online on ASOS or instore at TKMaxx, they have multipacks so you can treat them to more than one or two pairs! If you have a lower budget try looking in places such as Next, Asda or Sainsburys I would recommend going for the plain band boxers/briefs so your man can still look classy on a budget. 

Date Night Games

If you are looking to spice up your relationship or just find a way to liven up a boring Saturday night then try a Date Night Game. Why not get a present that can be shared with you? There are so many options online from mr and mrs games, bucket lists, date ideas or if you are looking to  turn up the heat there are games for you and him only. If you are on a budget why not make your own! One option is to make a book and fill it with different date ideas. This can be going out to a restaurant, bowling, shopping or doing something adventurous such as hikes. The perfect thing about this gift is he will see the dedication and love you have put into it and you can completely personalise it to your taste. If you have a larger budget take a look at Amazon or Paperchase they have ready made games for you to try.

Loungewear

Who doesn’t love to be comfy around the house and if your idea of a perfect date is sitting in your pjs watching a good film then this is the perfect gift for your man. From dressing gowns to slippers to lounging sets the options are endless. I would recommend opting for a pair of pajamas or a lounge wear set for those with a lower budget, you can even get a matching set for yourself for those Instagram worthy snaps. If you have the cash to splash why not kit him out in everything, opt for a matching lounge set complete with a matching dressing gown and slippers.

Shaving Kit 

This option is specific to those with partners who have a beard or a bit of stubble they like to keep looking fresh and trim. You can find these kits on Amazon, Next and ASOS. They come complete with shaving cream, razors, shaving balm and shaving oil to give your man the best shave he's ever had. For those on a lower budget try Home bargains and B&M, you can even create your own by picking out the product you know your significant other uses and wrap them up nicely to create the perfect gift.

Jumpers

With weather like we’ve been having there is no such thing as owning too many jumpers, they are a staple in any man's wardrobe and something they will live in over the winter.

If your budget is large you can opt for brands such as Palm Angels, Calvin Klein and Moschino for a treat he will absolutely love and definitely won’t be taking off.
