VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM – The New Balance Sling Bag: The Valentine’s Gift He’ll Wear on Repeat
Valentine’s gifts for him can be tricky. Socks, predictable. Aftershave, risky. But something stylish, practical and low-effort cool? Now you’re talking. Enter the New Balance Sling Bag in Vintage Indigo, available from Decathlon, and quietly one of the smartest gifts you can give this year.
This isn’t one of those bags that lives at the back of the wardrobe. The sling bag trend is still going strong, and New Balance nails it with a design that feels sporty but grown-up. Worn crossbody or slung over one shoulder, it instantly upgrades everyday outfits, whether he’s heading into town, travelling, or just running errands with a coffee in hand.
Functionally, it’s doing the most, in a good way. There’s a main compartment with an internal sleeve to keep essentials secure, a front pocket for easy-grab items, and even a mesh pocket built into the adjustable padded shoulder strap, ideal for headphones, keys or travel cards. The webbing loop details give it that utilitarian edge, while the Vintage Indigo colour keeps things sleek and wearable.
Comfort hasn’t been forgotten either. Lightweight and easy to adjust, it’s designed for all-day wear without digging in, perfect for busy days when he wants to stay hands-free. It’s practical without being boring, stylish without trying too hard. Exactly the energy we want in a Valentine’s gift.
At £45, it also hits that sweet spot, thoughtful, useful and feels premium without going overboard. In short, it’s the kind of present that says “I know your style”, and will probably get used every single day.
If you’re looking for a Valentine’s win that’s equal parts cool and practical, the New Balance Sling Bag might just be your best bet. Low effort for you, high impact for him
