Valentines gift for new man?

So I've started seeing a man very recently. For background; Met in June at our local pool. Became friends. Exchanged numbers around December. He gave me a present for Christmas (my fave chocs). Met for coffee twice over Christmas. Last weekend went for a walk & this weekend he's taking me to lunch.

I've told my children about him (they're in their 20's and he's told his daughter (in her 30's).

My question is do I get him a valentines gift & if so, what the hell do I get????

He's into vintage cars & tractors. He also loves rock music. Likes going to markets.

Help me!

I should add, I've been single for 22 years & he's single for 7 years so both taking it quite slow.

I'd suggest a Valentine date rather than a gift.
If you mean he likes collectors markets that could be your date and if he goes to buy something you could say "I'll get it - a Valentine gift for you".
(follow up with "Come on - lets find something you can buy me")

That's a good idea. Yes sorry I mean collectors markets.

He's 54 & I'm turning 50 in February so neither of us young romantics 😂
