Last month one of my best buddies Akhila gave me a handwritten letter as a part of her New year resolution. I was so excited to receive what might be the first handwritten letter of my life, the thrill of getting a real mail (not email/text) was special and beautiful.
When I first came to the United States to pursue my graduate studies. I and my friends back home in India used to exchange emails every day sharing snippets of our day-to-day life. It was a lovely feeling to be able to keep in touch with my friends but never realized the same thoughts when written on a piece of paper with your own handwriting would give enormous joy and make you feel important.

I sat down reading the beautiful letter that my friend gave me, reminiscing our old college days, the day we met and how we had a totally different opinion on each other when we first met than what we have now. Next thing I know I was teary-eyed.
I understood that day that the best thing you can give your loved ones is a handwritten letter. Even though you don’t mention how much they mean to you, the time, care and the thought you put into writing the letter will say it all. There is something so personal and thoughtful about letters that the recipient will cherish for years.
So, if you are looking for a best personalized Valentines’s day gift for your special someone, sit down and write him/her a letter about how you felt the day you met them and how your feelings have changed or remained the same over the time.
THE ULTIMATE VALENTINES GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM
VALENTINES DAY GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM DETAILS:
1. Fleece Hoodie | 2. Battery backpack (use code Dream10 for 10% off) | 3. Faux Leather Duffle Bag | 4. HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer | 5. Armani Cologne | 6. JBL Portable Bluetooth Speaker | 7. Carry-on Travel Kit | 8. Ray-Ban Aviators | 9. New Balance Running Shoes | 10. Cell Phone Holder | 11. Google Home | 12. Apple Watch Series 2 (Series 3 here)
Since the majority of my readers are women, I have included more Valentine’s day gift ideas in this gift guide for Him above. Buying a gift for guys can be so hard, so it’s best to stick with classic items that they actually need/want.
I picked few items that I think are great for any guy like a hoodie/jacket, backpack, and running shoes. And if your guy is more tech savvy then they would appreciate this google home to have a universal hub for their smart devices or a phone holder that also can be used as a tripod for taking pictures and videos and my favorite HP portable printer that you can use print printers from cell phones, tablets and even from your Instagram and Facebook.
Music lovers will appreciate this JBL portable speaker, the great little speaker with awesome sound, and excellent battery life. You can clip it to your backpack/jacket/bike and carry it with you everywhere. It is waterproof so you can use in the shower as well.

Coming to today’s Valentine’s day outfit, I shared a more casual & chic outfit idea on Monday. Today I am sharing a dressed up look. Red is unquestionably an amazing color to wear on V day but if you don’t want to look that bold but still wants to dress up. I would recommend going for any solid primary colors like blue, green, etc.
Wrap dresses are the perfect minimalist piece that can easily look dressed up when accessorized. The cinched waist creates an hourglass silhouette and accentuates your waist. Plus, the v-neckline draws the eye to your face. They are timeless silhouettes that every woman who loves to dress up effortlessly should own.

That was his gift, he caught her imagination, and that,was all she ever wanted ~atticus
Thank you for stopping by and reading my post!
Love,
Surekha
great valentine gift collections. i think i am going to give that bag on number 7 to my husband.
Love the list but I have to admit I’m taken most by the idea of a hand written letter! I’ve thought about it and I don’t think I’ve hand written something more than a couple of lines since school and probably never something personal and important. Great idea for the next big event!
I couldn’t agree more! A hand written letter is always the way to go to let someone know how must you care about them. I send them all the time and look forward to receiving them in return.
I love the combination of blue and pink in the outfit. That faux fur also looks perfectly cozy for February yet chic!
I love wrap dresses! They’re so pretty and comfy, definitely something that I’d wear. Also, those gift ideas are just awesome. I’d love to give my husband a duffle bag for when he travels for work.
You do look good in the dress. And your gift list for guys is pretty great. I know I would love the printer, but would appreciate any of these gifts really.
awesome gifts, I’m planning to give him a branded watch this Valentines day. And yes lemme say you look beautiful in this blue dress and heels.
I totally miss the practise of exhanging real letters and card with our hearts poured onto them. This reminds me to write to me loved ones often. Loved all the gift ideas that you’ve shared, all of these make for really useful gifts. You look gorgeaous in that dress, and love those shoes! <3
Totally agree with you about the written notes. There is nothing like putting pen to paper, and nothing else ever like receiving it. I also love your selections for gifts and that dress looks amazing on you!! ???
I miss the days of exchanging love letters too. Now it’s all on social media. You look fab, love the outfit.
Giiiirl you are killing that outfit, the pink coat is everything!! Love love it. Really like the idea of a portable speaker as a gift too, I might nick that one!
Great gift guide – The navy watch would be perfect for my other half. Btw you look fab in that blue dress x
I love the faux leather duffel bag! My boyfriend would love that!
You have some good ideas here, the jew balance shoes are always a great idea. I want to buy the HP portable printer for myself!
I really like that blue dress. I don’t have any special V-day plans but I am looking forward to this weekend hanging out with my big sister.
What a beautiful outfit, I love your combination and the dress. Hand written letter is such a awesome idea!
I love the color of your dress! Also, I could have totally bought that jacket for my boyfriend this year…if he had only waited a week or two longer before buying his brand new one. But two new ones can’t hurt, right?
Hey great post the most i like is the color of your dress. You look so lovely.
omg I just adore the style and color of your dress. Love all the gift ideas for Him. I actually got the same cologne for my dad last year and he loved it.
Great pumps! And I like that wrap around dress can work for a meeting as well as an after work catch-up with friends. (just bought #10 – pretty handy!)
Your Ferragamo pumps are killing it! They look so sexy and would definitely go well with any dress.
Love the semi vintage look. Like the fur as well. Just not sure I am bold enuf to rock it!
This looks for Valentine’s Day is so gorgeous! I really love the vibrant blue dress and your pink coat! So cute! And they look so good together! 🙂

Thanks for sharing these awesome gift ideas for him! The portable photo printer is brilliant. I didn’t even know those existed, and it makes the perfect gift. Thank you!!
You look lovely! That combo between the dress and the earrings is perfection. Plus, that pink coat – I want it, too!
My mom likes a handwritten letter. She likes to write them too. She doesn’t even own a computer, which is amazing to me these days. 😉 Your dress is lovely.
I love the idea, for me its more than romantic and sensitivity when you receive a love letter – its an old school but it will surely hit straight to the heart.
