If you're on the fence about whether or not to get the man in your life a Valentine's Day gift, we encourage you to go for it. Despite the fact that they may never admit it, men like to feel seen and special, too. Plus, romance isn't just a one way street—he shouldn't be the only one doling out presents on the holiday of love. That's why shopping for his Valentine's Day present shouldn't be an afterthought.

Instead, take pleasure in finding a gift he'll love. Of course, physical gifts aren't your only option: You can always make a delicious sweet treat, whip together a romantic meal, or surprise him with a personalized, handmade present. Perhaps even better? An at-home massage. But if you do think he's more of the tangible gift type, we're here to make choosing an inspired present he'll love a little big easier. To help, we rounded up some of the best gift ideas for the man in your life. No matter what your boyfriend, fiancé, best friend, or husband is into, we found something that's bound to resonate with him. If he's a coffee fanatic, he'll enjoy making his daily brew with a concrete pour-over stand. Does he love making you both a decadent breakfast on the weekends? We found a sleek smart toaster that will perfect his toast every time (and a plating kit to turn his tastes-good creations into something beautiful). If tech is what he's into, a great portable speaker-radio hybrid or a stylish charging cable will be his new favorite gift.

Whatever you decide to give him this Valentine's Day, make sure you take pleasure in shopping for him. He'll feel the love when presented with any of these unique options.

The appliance has brains and beauty, too—its shiny stainless steel exterior looks sleek on your countertops.

Low-Waste Razor

Courtesy of Supply

Here's the thing about razor subscriptions: Most companies promise savings up front, but require him to purchase blade package after package, so the price adds up over time. Enter this disruptive model. Supply's solid metal razor—it's guaranteed for life—calls for just eight blades over three months (cumulatively, that's $24 per year). Better yet, the razor allows him to adjust the blade exposure to three different shave settings (sensitive, comfortable, and ultra close).
