Having trouble deciding what to get your Arsenal-supporting partner for Valentine’s Day?

Look no further, my friend.

If you celebrate Valentine’s Day with your other half, sometimes it can be tricky to figure out what you’re going to buy them.

Chocolates, flowers, assorted ales, generic stuffed animals and other impersonal gifts can be great if you’ve only been with someone a short while but if you’ve been with them long enough to converse with one another, they may be expecting something a bit more tailored towards their interests.

If your partner just so happens to be an Arsenal fan, this can be a good place to start when it comes to getting them something they might actually want, and it also shows you’ve been listening if you’re not particularly interested in football. If you support another team, it just demonstrates what a strong and supportive partner you are (tongue firmly in cheek).

Here’s a rundown of what you could get the Arsenal fan in your life for Valentine’s Day.

Arsenal Books

Ah reading. The thinking man/woman’s gift. Fortunately, there are a few decent Arsenal books out written both about the team and also by the players. Depending on where your partner’s interests lie, here are some of the top rated Arsenal books you can get hold of.
