40 Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him

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 Valentine's Day gift ideas for your favorite guy. 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 few bags of beans sourced from all over the world. 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 knife set that will help him chop and dice vegetables for omelettes). If tech is what he's into, a new-age alarm clock, portable speaker-radio hybrid, or 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.
