No. 2Chateau Gateaux Andreas Baked Cheesecake
Baked cheesecake on an oat base, cut into eight or twelve slices, for the boyfriend who orders dessert before anyone else has decided. It reaches only Joburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban, and it wants eating that week.
Skip it if he lives outside the four big metros.

No. 3La Motte Man Crate
The Snacks option gives your boyfriend the crate without a bottle, while the named larger options add wine. Pick the version that suits a quiet snack or an evening together.
Skip it if he does not drink and dislikes meat snacks.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 4Munch Mania
Boxed snacks — Ferrero Rocher, nougat, cashews, biscuits — for the boyfriend whose desk drawer is empty by Wednesday. Four sizes, so a small one still arrives looking deliberate rather than thin.
Skip it if he is off sugar or eating clean at the moment.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 5Personalised White Song Photo Glass Tile
A white glass tile, 200mm square, printed with his name, a song title and a message from you. Good for the boyfriend who has a song with you and nowhere to put it.
Skip it if he has no wall space and no sentimental streak.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 6Personalised Jagermeister
Bottle with his name and a message printed onto the label, which is the whole of the gift. Sensible when he is hard to buy for and you already know what he drinks.
Skip it if he does not drink spirits.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 7Personalised KWV 10YR BRANDY
Ten-year-old brandy in a bottle carrying a metallic sticker with his name on it. Pick the plain box, the black box or the wooden crate depending on how much of an occasion you want it to be.
Skip it if he only drinks beer.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 8Jameson Select Reserve Gift Box
Irish whiskey boxed with either a slab of chocolate or a pair of crystal tumblers, so it arrives looking like an occasion. For the boyfriend with a shelf of bottles and no decent glasses.
Skip it if he does not drink.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 9Personalised Hennessy VS Printed Crate
Big-occasion 750ml bottle in a rustic wooden crate printed with his name, surname and a message from you. The crate outlives the bottle, which is half the reason to buy it this way.
Skip it if he does not drink spirits.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 10Personalised Navy Fleece Gown and Slipper Set
Navy fleece gown with his name embroidered on it and matching slippers, in five sizes. Best for the boyfriend who works from home and is cold from May to August.

Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 12Personalised Glenfiddich Twelve Years
Gold-lettered with his name and a message, this is a twelve-year-old whisky for a man who takes the drink seriously. Standard box, black box or crate; the crate is the one that reads as an occasion.
Not for a boyfriend who prefers beer or does not drink.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 13Personalised Dark Blue Fleece Gown
Dark blue fleece gown embroidered with his name, in sizes small through to double extra large. A quiet gift for the boyfriend who is always the coldest person in the flat.
Skip it if he runs hot and lives somewhere warm.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 14Personalised Gentleman Jack
Smooth enough for someone who has moved past what he drank at university, with his name and a message on the 750ml bottle. Comes as a box, a crate or a combo, so you can size the gesture.
Skip it if he does not drink brown spirits.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 15Personalised Crystal Jameson Crate Set
Raw pine double-sliding crate engraved with his name and a short message, whisky inside. It is heavy and looks it, which counts when you are handing it over in front of people.
Skip it if he does not drink whisky.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 16Ultimate Sally Williams and Teddy Bear Gift
Sally Williams nougat packed around a white teddy bear, in three sizes. Soft-centred rather than serious, so it suits an early-days boyfriend more than a fifth anniversary.
Not for a boyfriend who would find a teddy bear embarrassing.

No. 17Personalised KWV Ten Year Brandy Crate
Vanilla and floral notes on a brandy that comes in a rustic wooden crate, its sliding lid badged with his name and your message. The crate stays on the shelf long after the bottle goes.

No. 18Personalised Song Title Photo Glass Tile
Glass tile, 200mm square, printed with a photo of the two of you plus a song title and the artist. Take the chocolates or wine version if the tile on its own feels thin.
Skip it if he does not display photographs anywhere.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 19Personalised Sable Gents Leather Washbag
Black leatherette washbag with his initials and name on it, for the boyfriend who packs his toothbrush loose in a backpack. Small, useful, and used every time he goes away.

No. 20Personalised Every Second Watch Box
Twelve compartments in a PU-bound box, the lid carrying his name and surname above a line about loving him more every second. For a boyfriend who owns watches rather than a watch.
Skip it if he wears the same watch every day.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 21Personalised Jameson Whisky Glassware
Two whiskey glasses boxed with a bottle, so he gets the drink and something proper to drink it from. Personalised, which is what stops it reading as a bottle-store grab.
Skip it if he does not drink spirits.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 22Personalised Polaroid Magnets Set of Nine
Nine fridge magnets, each 10cm square and framed like a polaroid, printed with photos you pick. Good for a boyfriend in a new flat with a bare fridge and a phone full of the two of you.

No. 24Personalised White Gown and Slippers Set

How to choose a gift for your boyfriend
Prices on this page run from under R200 to R1 000–2 000; 4 of the 24 picks are under R300 and 4 are R1 000 or more. This list leans towards personalised gifts and wine and spirits. 23 of them deliver nationwide; the rest are metro-only, and the retailer page shows the next delivery date for your area. Start from the price band you have in mind, then read the note under each pick: it says who the thing is really for and who should skip it. Where a pick is filed for your boyfriend by the retailer itself we say so; where a page borrows from a neighbouring list we say that too.
Where this list comes from: we read NetFlorist's whole catalogue, keep only what it files for your boyfriend itself (Biltong, Confectionery & sweets, Wines among the categories here), rank by where NetFlorist places each item, what its buyers have said and how the price sits, and write our own note on who it suits and who should skip it. We have not handled these products and do not say we have. Commission never touches the order. Price bands come from NetFlorist's prices on 7 September 2026; the retailer page is the truth on the day. The full method.
