For someone that’s always on the go, a great cup of coffee is always appreciated! This year, Nespresso released the Selection Vintage 2014. The pods, built for their quick and easy Nespresso machines are woody, elegant and provide a touch of luxury to your morning cuppa. If you’re thinking about investing in a Nespresso machine, or want to learn more about your current one read this awesome review by Espresso Perfecto! 
- Everything-proof speakers
If your partner is a tradie, surfer or an adventurer this speaker would be the perfect gift. The Life Jacket III speaker by Altec Lansing stands out from the rest with its everything-proof exterior and it even floats thanks to its rugged jacket. With the 30 hour life span, bluetooth connection and hands-free communication capabilities – it’s the perfect partner for your man… when you’re not around of course! This speaker is super loud (especially for it’s compact size) and comes in blue, black and red. Buy it from Target, Good Guys and Anaconda.

- Gourmet oils and vinegars
If your man likes to cook, why not get him a cooking accessory he can cherish forever. Like the whisky, Amfora creates fine quality vinegars and oils that will satisfy the taste buds. I recently tried the Chilli Rapeseed Oil, which is versatile, flavoursome and a great alternative to olive oil! Used by the likes of Jamie Oliver, chefs and foodies this oil is extracted from rape seed plants from the same family as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. Don’t forget to personalise it with a lovely message and voila! A gorgeous present for the chef in your life on Valentine’s Day.

What guy wouldn’t love a sexy gift box full of goodies! Newly re-freshed System Jo ‘lifestyle’ products are my go-to. The collection carries a HUGE stocklist full of massage oils, lubricants, stimulants, perfumes, hygiene products and even supplements. As a naughty gift to him, why not stock up on some lickable personal lubricants in exotic flavours such as Mint Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Crème Brule, Hazelnut Espresso and Tira Misu!
