Last Minute Valentine’s Day Ideas for the Man with No Plan

Not got your Valentine’s plans in order yet? With just three days to go, this last minute Valentine’s ideas and gift guide is for you. Whether you are single or taken, here as some great ideas to help you have a decent Valentine’s Day this year.

Dude, what do you mean you haven’t booked a table yet? If that got your attention and you, like many other fellas, have left your Valentine’s plans for your girlfriend, wife or your mates to the last-minute then you've come to right place. That said, you need to get on the phone sharpish if you plan to take your women out for a Valentine’s Day dinner for two or want a meal out with friends. There are so many Valentine’s meal deals available that may help you out if you are skint, fingers crossed, there might even be some left!

For The Novice Man with a Girlfriend & No Plan


When it comes to finding a last-minute gift there are so many things you can do quickly that will get you maximum brownie points with your women. Did you see the hot air balloon scene in Casanova with Heath Ledger and Sienna Miller? Women love romantic gestures. The great news is that you can book hot air balloon rides online. Book the ride and get a cute hot air balloon valentines card and write something romantic like “Let’s visit the stars together…” 

Better yet, go to a florist that can make you a bouquet of Valentine’s flowers with a balloon and a cute teddy bear in the basket, like this one…


Afraid of heights? You could always book a romantic break in the UK the following weekend (when it is a little cheaper). There are so many Valentine’s Day holiday deals at the moment, have a browse and see what you can find.

For an extra treat, why not sit down with your girlfriend this evening and offer to buy her a new dress or some beauty products ahead of Valentine’s Day?

There is still time for 2 day deliveries and she will appreciate the Cinderella treatment. I'm sure any women would be more than happy to be able to get her favourite fake tan products or browse some gorgeous Valentines evening dresses.

Take my advice on this one and you will definitely be part of the best boyfriends club.

For the Busy Man with a Wife & Kids


I get it. You are busy all the time and can’t really see the point in Valentine’s Day. You already did the running at the beginning of your relationship and now it’s just another Hallmark holiday. Well, taking the time to give your wife a little treat will be worth it. The romantic emphasis of this holiday, like it or not, will trigger your wife to look at your relationship more closely. She is likely to be more sensitive, analysing every little thing you do. Just one romantic gesture on Valentine’s Day could give you an easier life and ultimately, save you lots of time and arguments.

You don’t have to go the traditional route though, I am willing to bet that your wife would be much happier with the kind of Valentine’s gift that will help you both escape reality for a while. You could look at getaways for the both of you and book a weekend break in Paris. Even if the break isn't over Valentine’s Day the idea of the trip will put a big smile on her face.


Even better, you could surprise her with some holiday brochures or sit her down with a glass of vino and simply say: “Right, let’s book a holiday!” Imagine how happy she will be if you have a website already up on the screen that has luxury villas in Cyprus or romantic getaways in Italy. Another way to surprise her would be to wrap up a brand new designer Rimowa or Samsonite suitcase, with a cute message inside saying “A new bag for our Summer Holiday, Let’s book it together.”

If you already have a holiday planned and are looking for something a little less dramatic, what about a brand new bed or sofa? This is great especially if you have just bought a home. Whether she is interested in fabric sofas or after something with leather, for the right women this could be the greatest gift of all. Make sure you let her choose though! Just spend an evening in browsing a catalogue of sofas and take the plunge together before you go for your Valentines meal.

For the Single Lad Feeling Sad



Turn that thrown upside down, being single on Valentine’s Day can open a world of possibilities for you. Single women out clubbing on Valentine’s Day are much more open to love, so if you are looking for a relationship what better way to filter out the unattainable women and find the women of your dreams?

If a relationship doesn’t interest you, then enjoy the window shopping and enjoy a good bromance with your best buddy instead. You could play video games, see a movie women would hate and then finish it off with an evening at the local pub playing pool. Now, you might not be obligated to buy any gifts but why not spoil yourself? You still deserve a little treat, so love yourself by buying some cool gadgets Valentine’s Day gifts for men or go one better and get a gift for your best mate.
