If you’re trying to figure out a Valentine’s Day gift to get for that special guy in your life, we can empathize. Men aren’t usually associated with warm and fuzzy feelings, and even if they’ll accept a bouquet, a box of chocolates or even a corny Valentine’s Day card with a smile and a “thank you,” it’s probably not what they really want. (Disclaimer: This story was written by a man, so we know from whence we speak.)
Now, if you want to find a Valentine’s Day gift that will please guys, it’s best to focus on stuff that’s fun and functional, like a hoodie, or that appeals to our stomachs (we’re easy that way) or our love of electronics. Or, it could even be something fun for a couple to do that also improves the relationship (because we like solid relationships too!). We cover all of the above and more in these 15 top Valentine’s Day gifts for men. We reckon you’ll find a present below that will appeal to your sweetheart — and maybe make him appreciate the holiday a little more!
