Is the man in your life particularly hard to buy for? Struggling to find a meaningful Valentines Day gift when Christmas feels like only yesterday? Not to worry, The Sybarite have found a selection of luxurious and unique Valentines Day gifts that will be perfect for any man.
You know how they say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? While that may have been true for when men and women dwelled happily in caves and hunted dodos, the 21st century man is a little more complicated than that. And that, ladies, is both good news and bad news.
Good news because you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen fixing up the perfect meal to find the way to his heart. Bad news because you’re now faced with the prospect of spending hours surfing the internet instead searching for the perfect luxury Valentine’s gifts for him.
To that effect, The Sybarite team has curated the below list of some of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for your man that are sure to win his heart all over again.
Without further ado, we present our curated list of luxury gifts that’ll help you narrow down on the perfect Valentine’s Day gift idea for your other half.
They may not always admit it, but men love being pampered as much as women do. So this Valentine's Day, why not surprise him with a full body LED treatment by The Light Salon?
LED therapy is the future of skincare. It uses light of varying wavelengths to stimulate collagen production and increase elasticity, giving you firmer, younger looking skin. Not only this, it can help arrest, and even reverse ageing, and significantly improve the appearance of scars. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones.
The Light Salon have been the pioneers in LED skincare since 2015. They have a selection of luxury spa treatments for Valentine’s Day that help rejuvenate the entire body from head to toe, giving your special guy the glow of a summer holiday. Their LED therapy isn’t just skin deep, it has a range of other health benefits such as helping lower blood pressure, supporting bone density, and detoxifying the body. In fact, we suggest that you make it a couples thing and book a session for the both of you. Afterall, why should boys have all the fun?
If this sounds like something your partner would enjoy, you can book it here.
How does Valentine’s Day in the land of Santa Claus sound for a romantic gift? The Octola Lodge is an exclusive resort located in the vast sub-arctic wilderness of Finland’s northernmost region, Lapland. Known as the home of Santa Claus, Lapland is a region of unsurpassed beauty, and the Octola Lodge is the most luxurious resort in all of Lapland.
Spread over 740 acres of pristine fir and pine-covered forests, the resort has all the amenities you would expect of a five-star hotel including a spa, a jacuzzi, and geothermal heating in every room. But if you think all you could do in the Arctic was cuddle up in bed and stare out the window into the vast, magical expanse of snow, you would be mistaken by a long way.
The Octola Lodge offers guests the once in a lifetime opportunity to view spectacular Arctic phenomena such as the northern lights, go out sledding with a team of huskies, snowmobiling, and tobogganing to name a few. And all this when the chefs aren’t pampering with the most delicious Nordic cuisine.
A picturesque Caribbean island hidden among rainforest-covered hills, white sand beaches, mile upon mile of coconut-covered shoreline, and weaving in and out of it all, a 10-day luxury cruise.aboard a private yacht. Could there be a more perfect Valentine’s Day celebration?

You get to stay in the exotic Ladera resort with stunning views of the ocean and the Piton mountains.

Ice and romance may seem like an odd couple at first glance.But trust us, there are few places on earth as romantic as the famous Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden.
Why, you may ask?
For one, it’s the sheer magical aura of the place. Located in the far north of Sweden, in what is quite literally, the end of the inhabited world, the Icehotel is located in the small Arctic hamlet of Jukkasjarvi, by the serenely meandering Torne river. This is the land of the midnight sun and of colourful northern lights.
But more importantly, it’s the utter novelty of a once-in-a-lifetime experience of staying in a hotel in which everything, including the furniture and the wine glasses are made from ice. And not just this, but they are made anew each year by artists from across the world in a different style, by digging out large blocks of ice from the Torne river. This is the kind of bucket list experience that will stay etched in your memories forever.
If your man likes a sophisticated single malt then we highly recommend Macallan whisky. With its perfect harmony of flavours, this single malt isn't just any off-the-shelf whisky, but one that is going to leave a lasting impression. The smell of lemon citrus, orange peel with an interlacing sweetness of Vanilla, and dark chocolate hits you before the packaging is even unwrapped.
If your special someone has a medium sweet palate then this is the perfect gift for him. Not only does it smell good and taste good, but its elegant packaging means this bottle makes the perfect display piece. Not to mention, this Valentine’s Day gift is also a great way to build that perfect mood for a romantic date night. Pour a drink, put on some nice music, embrace each other, and dance slowly. Life is good!
There’s something unmistakably classy about a man draped in a luxurious bathrobe, isn’t it? A good bathrobe gives all men that air of a Florida real estate tycoon relaxing by the pool with his morning newspaper, caviar, and a Cuban cigar, like an absolute boss.
Which is why the Hugo Boss Bath Robe is a classic gift for your valentine. This highly sought after designer piece is sure to be one of the most stylish additions to his wardrobe — it’s chic, classy, and cosy. And not to mention, romantic, for bathrobes are reminiscent of showers, bedtime, and intimacy.
You can pick this classic bathrobe up at Mainline Menswear along with a host of other interesting apparel ideas. For instance, we’d suggest you pair this bathrobe with a pair of funky socks and cosy slippers for the complete attire for your man to rest his heels in.
It is a fact universally acknowledged that guys love geeking out over a good sound system.
And the Dock E30 is a gift your guy is sure to love. Unlike any other speaker on the market, the DOCK E30 utilises the brand's unique Air sound™ patented technology — delivering spatial sound from a single speaker enclosure. This achieves balanced sound playback, ensuring listeners receive perfect audio from anywhere in the room, removing the need to be in a ‘sweet spot' for the full sound experience.
Beyond the standard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, the speaker comes complete with functional, yet form-fitting add-ons, such as its beautifully-designed docking groove allowing users to hold any smart device, and simple wireless charging of any Qi supporting phone (such as the iPhone X family), by placing it on the Orbitsound logo charge pad.
The DOCK E30 provides the perfect accompaniment to an evening of hosting your friends or a romantic night with just the two of you. Pour yourself a drink, rest your feet on the couch and put on a romantic movie for the perfect date night. Just make sure he doesn’t put on Star Wars again!
A classic red dinner jacket gives your guy the aura of someone who spends his evenings watching the world go by in a casino on the French Riviera. Even if that’s not really his thing, walking into a party with a bold burgundy dinner jacket is definitely going to make him look like the most interesting person in the room. And not to mention, red is the colour of romance, making this jacket just the perfect valentine’s day gift.
The featured jacket is part of the deluxe range from Oppo Suits that has a one-button front and four-button cuffs. Pair this with black pants to make a classic dinner suit fit for any formal occasion. Add a bow tie to it to create that Monacan prince look. With black satin-shawl lapels complementing its rich burgundy, dare we say this jacket looks ten times more expensive than it is.
Versace’s Hellenyium series is inspired by Greek mythology and aesthetics. Featuring the timeless chronograph movement design with three additional sub-dials and buttons, this is a watch that separates the boys from the men. The case is ion-plated with a tachymeter scale. The dial is white silver with the Versace logo and a medusa head. The wristband is made of black woven fabric with a classic tongue buckle. This is the kind of watch James Bond would have been proud of flaunting on a visit to the casino and ordering a vodka martini, shaken, not stirred.
More than being just a fashion accessory, this is a gift that makes for a great investment, and a fine collectible time. The perfect gift if you want to pamper your guy with one of the most luxurious valentine’s gifts money can buy. You can pick up this watch from Versace here.
The Moet & Chandon Art-de-Vivre Bottle is a unique way to say "I love you" this Valentine's Day.
This is a champagne that comes in a bottle that is inspired by the art of glass blowing. The bottle has been designed to look like a piece of art rather than just another bottle of bubbly. The bottle itself is made from crystal and comes in three different sizes — Magnum (1.5L), Jeroboam (3L) and Rehoboam (6L). All three bottles are crafted by hand with each one taking up to a month to make.
Of course, the champagne itself is a delight, and for wine connoisseurs, needs little introduction. Pour a glass each and spice up your date night. The bottle is a beautiful collectible that will look great on display in any home. One of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for the man who has it all.
Not all great valentine’s gifts need to be about aesthetics; some are functional, everyday utility items too. This stylish, everyday-use backpack, crafted with genuine leather is going to be a bag your man can use for work, the gym or even a hike. If your special guy is someone who tends to forget things, or is always in a rush to get to places, this bag is just the thing to get his life a little more organised.
Featuring plenty of zip and slip pockets, it is the perfect bag for keeping essentials organised. The minimalist style and waxy finish give it a contemporary look. And even if he isn’t one for backpacks, this is simply a great gift for turning up the style quotient a few notches. Let him wear this backpack with any outfit and watch him turn a few heads as he walks down the street looking trendy and chic.
Few materials known to man are as fine as cashmere. Cashmere is a fibre obtained from the inner coat of certain varieties of goat native to the highlands of Central and South Asia. Good quality cashmere wool is so fine, a shawl made of it can be made to pass through a finger ring. Cashmere has a diameter of only about 15 microns on average. By comparison, superfine merino wool obtained from the famous Merino sheep has a diameter of 17-18 microns.
Not only is cashmere fine and soft, it also keeps the wearer warm. Good quality cashmere can be up to 7-8 times warmer than the best merino wool. And of course, cashmere is rare. Since the goats from which it is obtained are only found in the Asian highlands, and since only the inner coat of hair is fine enough to be considered cashmere, cashmere tends to be expensive. Which is why we feel a good cashmere sweater is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your man. Not only will it make him feel special, it’ll also keep him warm in the February chill.
When shopping for cashmere sweaters, it's hard to go wrong with Gobi Cashmere.
Gobi Cashmere is one of the most famous makers of cashmere sweaters in the world. They take their name from the Gobi desert in Mongolia, whose harsh, cold climate is home to animals producing some of the best quality cashmere. Headquartered in Mongolia, with branches in Berlin, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, cashmere sweaters from Gobi Cashmere have been a symbol of luxury since 1981.
This cowhide red polo neck cashmere sweater will be a classy addition to your special guy’s wardrobe. It can be worn on its own, or it can be paired with a jacket. Either way, you can be sure that not only will he look fine, it’ll keep him warm too. The perfect Valentine’s Day gift for warm hugs.
You can pick up this cashmere sweater from Gobi Cahsmere’s collection here.

Not all Valentine’s Day gifts are meant to be enjoyed alone.Some gifts are best shared between the two of you. And what can be more romantic than a trip to a luxury retreat meant only for couples?

Boys will be boys, and has a boy ever been happier than when he gets his hands on a shiny new bicycle? Of course, the shape, size, and specifics of the bike may change as boys grow older, but there are few joys greater than pedalling down a cobbled street on two wheels on a lazy Sunday afternoon. So to surprise the inner boy hiding in your man, may we suggest gifting a luxury bike and cycling kit?
And if you’re wondering what a luxury bike is, we’ve compiled a definitive list of luxury bikes and cycling kits here that guide you through the nitty-gritties of what makes a bike great, why it’s worth the price tag it comes attached with, and why do you need a complete kit to go with it.
Be mindful that each bike on this list is like the Rolls Royce of bicycles.They’re the pinnacle of engineering, design, and aerodynamics that make riding an absolute unbridled joy. Each bike uses only the finest, lightest, and strongest material for the frame, and deploys the most advanced precision engineering for the drive train. Every small component, from the brakes to ball bearings to the tires are state-of-the-art.
Which means, of course, that they come with a price commensurate with the ride quality they provide. But then, that’s a small price to pay for the look of utter, childish delight on your man’s face once he sees one of these.
A sterling silver bracelet not only sets your man apart as a man of culture, it is also a great conversation starter. More so, if the bracelet is custom engraved with his name, or even better, both your names. That way you can be sure you’re a part of every conversation the bracelet starts even when you’re not around.
Silver bracelets are also great fashion accessories that go well with both formal and casual attire. In the past, men of class wore jewellery to distinguish themselves from the masses. Silver as a precious metal is perfect for bracelets, as unlike gold, it does not draw more attention to itself than is necessary. Silver is bold, without being blingy. Also, unlike leather or braided bracelets, silver bracelets impart a touch of style without compromising on the element of masculinity that wearing metal imparts. It’s shiny, and yet steely at the same time.
You can pick up this sterling silver bracelet for your valentine from Silvertime’s collection here.
