I´m here to ask for advice on the gifts, I have already bought him something I think he would like. But I would like to make something else for him, which brings me to this, I have a lovely heart-shaped candle I want to incorporate, but I´m not sure how to do that. I´m here to ask for ideas, what can I create that incorporates that candle? Thank you very much for your help!! 3

But now I have a different question... I know he loves handmade gifts, letters, drawings, and even stuffed toys (well, in this case it cas a cat instead of a bear), and he has told me how he prefers something like that over a bought gift. And thats why I got the idea when I saw the candle. Do you think the candle idea is too girly or too cheesy?? Should I stick to the original present I had??

 If you feel he would really love and use a candle then perhaps personalize it with a photo of the two of you incorporated on to the candle? or a photo of a favorite place that the two of you have visited.
here are some ideas below on how to personalize a candle.

Guys love things they need rather than things girls love that they think will demonstrate their loves.
A guy may say, Oooh a stuffed toy bear, aw thanks darling and inwardsly roll their eyes.
I think a heart shaped candle might make you feel good but is it something that he would really appreciate?
Incorporated into the various responses below are some wonderful examples of inexpensive presents that are given from the heart, but may be memorable enough for the guy to feel delighted to receive the item.
Here are some examples below:
Valentine’s Day.
