If you thought the holidays were behind you, you’ve forgotten about Valentine’s Day. It’ll be here before you know it — so have you found a gift for your special guy?
It can seem impossible to select the ideal present for your significant other, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are six categories of Valentine’s Day gifts for him that will melt his heart.
1. Indulge His Hobby
What gets your guy all excited? If he’s into darts or pool, you could always go with a new cue or another accessory for his favorite pastime.
Does your guy live to work on the car he’s restoring on the weekends? Why not get him a thoughtful related gift, such as an emblem for their gas lid that shows you value their attention to detail.
Maybe your special someone spends every Sunday on the links. You can’t go wrong by tucking a new sleeve of golf balls amid the chocolate in their gift basket.
2. Salute the Sports Fan
If your guy is a sports fanatic, your Valentine’s gift shopping job is a snap. No doubt they’re anxious to get back in the stand for live games. Ensure they stay warm when they do with an NFL blanket to warm their lap while they scream from the stands.
What if they are a player, not just a spectator? If they can’t wait to get back to their recreational softball league, get them a new glove so that they have plenty of time to loosen it up before the season starts.
If you are on a shoestring budget, you can still show the sports fan you love how much you care this Valentine’s day. Look for items like socks and keychains that you can score for less than $10.
3. Cater to Sophisticated Tastes
Does your guy introduce himself last name, first name, then last name again, like Bond, James Bond? If your fellow has discerning tastes, he deserves a gift worthy of his refinement.
He won’t appreciate any rotgut in his glass, so consider a gift of genuine Scotch whisky. Another idea is to get a set of stones to chill his beverage without watering down the flavor.
Maybe your fellow is more into cigars? If you aren’t sure what brand of Cuban deliciousness to buy, you could always opt for a new humidor to keep his current collection fresher.
As there is a big variety of Cuban cigars, you can find the most suitable option for his taste. For instance, H Upmann, Montecristo or punch cigars are some of the smoothest flavors. If he likes medium-bodied flavor with the notes of nuts, cocoa and spice, H Upmann cigars contain all of them and will make his surprise more special.
4. Add to His Tool Belt
Is your fellow a regular DIY whiz? If he adores nothing more than fixing up the homestead with his carpentry expertise, some new tools for his box could make the ideal Valentine’s Day gift.
If you aren’t sure what to get, a quality multipurpose tool that he can clip to his belt lets him tighten that screw without digging through his chest. These gifts are also ideal for outdoorsy types who could sometimes use a screwdriver but rarely have one handy in the woods.
5. Can’t Go Wrong With Practicality
Let’s face it — 2020 was a tough year for many people. If money is tight, there’s nothing wrong with getting your man a practical gift if it’s what he wants most.
Think outside the traditional wrapped box. If your man is one of many job-seekers, he might appreciate you paying to dry-clean his interview suit or hail an Uber so that he can avoid public transportation on his big day. If he switched to telecommuting but struggled with WiFi lag in his home office, a new signal amplifier can keep him buffering-free.
6. Be Sweetly Sentimental
Of course, if your fellow has everything he needs, you can go with a sentimental gift. If you have a favorite photograph from a vacation you took together, why not get it made into canvas wall art to adorn your living room?
Another idea is to book a trip for later in the year after vaccines make travel safer. You’re sure to find some fabulous bargains as the industry looks to rebound from the ravages of COVID-19.
If you and your man share a long-distance love, why not let them know how often they cross your mind? Get them the gift of a touch lamp that lights up on their end when you tap it on yours.
