What are some good Valentine's Day gifts for him? 

Finding the perfect Valentine's Day gift for him can be tricky, but Argos has you covered! For the classic man, a stylish watch always makes a sophisticated statement. Check out our range of watches from brands like Sekonda, Casio, and Accurist. If he's a tech enthusiast, surprise him with the latest gadget, like noise-cancelling headphones or a new smartwatch. Or, for a truly personal touch, go for a customised gift like an engraved wallet, a personalised photo mug, or a custom phone case with his initials. 

What are some unique and personalised gift ideas for him? 

Want to make his Valentine's gift truly one-of-a-kind? Personalised gifts are the way to go! We offer personalised photo gifts, like mugs and canvases, that you can customise with your favourite pictures together. Or, consider a personalised wallet or a set of initialled cufflinks for a touch of sophistication. A custom gift shows you've put in that extra bit of thought. 

What are some good experience gifts for him? 

Sometimes the best gifts aren't material possessions but unforgettable experiences. Treat him to an amazing date night with tickets to a West End show. Or, why not plan a memorable UK getaway? Choose from exciting driving experiences, delightful afternoon teas, cosy spa breaks, and even overnight stays in charming log cabins. For a more flexible option, consider Red Letter Days gift vouchers, which he can use to book a variety of experiences, including hotel stays across the UK and Europe. If he enjoys learning new things, consider a cooking class, a whisky-tasting experience, or a photography workshop. 

What if he's into sports or fitness? 

For the sporty guy, Argos has a fantastic range of sports and fitness gifts. If he's a die-hard football fan, surprise him a stadium tour! If fitness is his passion, consider new workout gear like running glasses, a fitness tracker, or a set of dumbbells. You could even help him reach his goals with a gym membership or a subscription to an online fitness programme. 

What if he's a foodie or enjoys cooking? 

If he loves to cook or appreciates good food, there are plenty of delicious gift options to choose from. A gourmet food basket filled with artisan cheeses, fine wines, and luxury chocolates is always a winner. For the aspiring chef, consider high-quality kitchen tools like a cast iron griddle pan, a chef's knife set, or a stylish stand mixer. Or, if he wants to expand his culinary skills, why not book him a cooking class where he can learn from the pros?

What are some unique and personalised gift ideas for her? 

If you're looking for a gift that's as unique as she is, consider something personalised. A piece of jewellery engraved with her initials or a special date is a thoughtful and timeless gift. You could also create a custom photo album filled with your favourite memories together. Or, for a truly special touch, commission a piece of artwork featuring her favourite quote or a portrait of the two of you.

Sometimes the best gifts are experiences that you can share together. Treat her to a relaxing spa day with a massage and pampering treatments. If she loves live music or theatre, surprise her with tickets to a West End show with a gift voucher. Or, plan a memorable UK getaway! You can choose from exciting driving experiences, delightful afternoon teas, cosy hotel breaks, and even overnight stays in charming log cabins.

If fashion is her jam, Argos has a wide range of stylish gifts to choose from. A chic and comfy loungewear set or a luxurious scarf are sure to impress. If she loves jewellery, treat her to a sparkling new necklace, a pair of elegant earrings, or a statement ring. You could also give her a gift card to her favourite fashion retailer so she can choose something she truly loves. 

What if she enjoys self-care? 

For the woman who loves to unwind, consider a gift that promotes relaxation and self-care. A luxurious bath and body product set with soothing scents and nourishing ingredients is a perfect way to help her de-stress. You could also create a cosy atmosphere with a scented candle, a plush bathrobe, and a comfy pair of slippers. Or, surprise her with a subscription box filled with self-care goodies like aromatherapy oils, face masks, and relaxing teas. 

What are the best flower options for her? 

Choosing flowers can be a lovely way to show you care, and there are lots of options to suit different tastes and preferences. 

• If your lady loves a classic, roses are always a popular choice for Valentine's Day, and they come in a variety of colours, each with its own special meaning. Red roses symbolise passion and romance, while pink roses represent sweetness and gratitude. 

• If she prefers something a bit different, consider lilies, which are elegant and fragrant, or tulips, which symbolise new beginnings and happiness. 

• For a truly unique option, you could consider orchids, which represent beauty and luxury, or sunflowers, which symbolise joy and admiration. 

If you're looking for a longer-lasting alternative to fresh flowers, Argos has a great selection of artificial blooms that look just as beautiful as the real thing. Our artificial roses come in a variety of colours, and we also have artificial Eustoma, Magnolia, and Hydrangea stems. And if she's a fan of Lego, our Lego faux flower sets make a fun and quirky gift. 

Can I create a spa experience at home for her? 

You can easily create a relaxing spa experience at home without breaking the bank. Prepare a warm bath with soothing bath salts or bubbles, light some scented candles, and play some calming music over a Bluetooth speaker to set the mood. Give her a gentle massage with aromatherapy blends, and treat her to a face mask and a manicure. You could even prepare her a healthy snack and a refreshing smoothie to complete the spa day experience.

What is Valentine's Day? 

Valentine's Day is a special day dedicated to celebrating love and affection. It's a time to show your appreciation for your partner, friends, family, and anyone else you care about. While it's often associated with romantic love, it's really a chance to express kindness and gratitude to all the important people in your life. 

What should I write in a Valentine's Day card? 

Writing a Valentine's Day card is a lovely way to express your feelings and make your loved one feel special. But it can be tricky to know what to say! 

First, think about who you're writing to. If it's your partner, tell them what you love most about them. Share a favourite memory or your hopes for the future.

If you're stuck for ideas, try looking for inspiration in quotes, poems, songs, or even movies. Or share a personal story that shows how much you cherish your relationship. 

To get you started, try finishing one of these sentences: 

• "I love you because..." 

• "I'm so grateful for..." 

• "You make me smile when..." 

• "My favourite memory with you is..." 

• "I can't wait to..."
